This asshole needs to be tossed like Rick Scott tossed long-time corrupt Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes in 2018. He suspended her. She turned in her resignation, then withdrew it because a new Governor was coming in, and she decided she was going to fight her suspension. In her first offense, Snipes was found by a Judge to have destroyed ballots for a 2016 Congressional primary before the allotted time period had passed. She had also withheld the destruction of those ballots from one of the primary candidates, and his lawyers for two months. Her office was supposed to have been monitored by the Florida's Dept. of State after her first offense. In August 2018, she was sued by Republicans over her handling of mail-in ballots, and the same court ordered an injunction against her, keeping her from opening mail-in absentee ballots in secret or before a canvassing board determined these ballots’ legitimacy.

The Florida 2018 election was a fiasco. DeSantis won against Andrew Gillum by only .04%. When DeSantis took office, he obviously negotiated with Snipes, that he would rescind Rick Scott's suspension, then accept her original resignation letter, and I'm sure she walked away with her pension intact. She was a Jeb Bush appointee. Held the job for 15 years, and in every Broward County election, there were problems under her supervision. She told the media that Governor DeSantis had allowed her to resign and keep her integrity intact.

Raquel Rodriguez, an attorney was Jeb Bush's General Counsel when he was Governor. She said the complaints against Snipes were justified. Miriam Oliphant had been Snipes's predecessor in the post, and she was removed from office by Bush. She was black like Snipes. Rodriguez said she was involved in the removal of Oliphant, and stated: “I can tell you that the grounds for her removal from office were far more benign and less extensive than what has gone on in the Broward office in this cycle and in other cycles.”

How many more of these assholes are running these county elections in America? And the problem is, most times they are allowed to get away with their corruption for long periods of time before something is finally done, that is, unless anything is ever happens to be done.

Have you ever seen Dr Linda Tarver talking about what goes on in Detroit? It will make your blood boil, as she has the facts and not one person, that can do anything about it, does anything about it.
