TALLAHASSEE — The fallout over Florida's turbulent recount is escalating after the state's outgoing Republican governor decided to oust a South Florida elections official. Gov. Rick Scott late Friday suspended embattled Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes even though Snipes had already agreed to step down from her post in early January.

Scott replaced Snipes with his former general counsel general counsel, Peter Antonacci, to lead the department even though he has no elections experience. Snipes responded by rescinding her previous resignation — and will now be "fighting this to the very end," her attorney said during a Saturday news conference.

Just pull out the race card. Snipe’s handlers told her they would bankroll the court case. They need her in there.

She’s a she.
Sle’s black.
She’s corrupt.
She’s dumber than a rock (not due to race, but because she is 51 cards short of a full deck).
She was selected as a dumbass quota fill in who would do whatever it took to get her her salary.
The county is democratic and so corrupt tnat Al Capone wouldn’t dare to live there.

Therefore, she’ll win.

Rescind a resignation? How can that happen? When you resign, you’re out of the job. It’s not up to you to then “hire yourself back”. This is bullsheit

So, as I see it, if a leftist loses an election or is fired for gross incompetence the only way to get them to step down is to take them for a ride to Chappaquiddick Island in Ted Kennedy’s Olds 98.

Once you resign, you’re done.

Once you resign you do not have the ability to unresign. You have to apply for the job all over again.

A little bit of black privilege here?

She’ll find a judge who will order Scott to reinstate her. It’s a done deal in Broward. I lived there for almost 60 years. I watched it change from bright red to deep blue in just a couple of decades. They control everything in Broward County.

Leave it to the corrupt democRATS to resign and then "unresign" at their pleasure.

This Snipes lady is doing it.

Gillum did it.

Abrams did it.

Bunch of dishonest folks who have no integrity or honesty at all.
