FULL TITLE: Palm Beach County Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher Threatens To Jail Media For Filming "Ballot Counting"
Two kinds of people hate being filmed while going about their business in public: celebrities and criminals.
Breaking from normal practice, the Palm Beach County elections supervisor banned media from filming and photographing the high-profile midterm election ballot review process amid allegations of “incompetence” by Gov. Rick Scott.
The camera ban prompted an attorney for NBC Universal to interrupt the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board and object to the meeting, calling it “illegal.”
Tensions flared Friday morning when Bucher threatened to have camera operators and newspaper reporters arrested for filming ballot tabulation as Palm Beach County. The meeting at least half a dozen television cameras and even more reporters as Palm Beach County is one of the last in Florida to report unofficial results in an election with three tight statewide races. Bucher accused several reporters of illegally taking pictures and videos of signatures on the envelopes of mail ballots.
Reporters repeatedly assured Bucher that they were filming the board members from a safe distance as they examined ballots and decided whether to toss or count them. Signatures were not visible in any Palm Beach Post photos.
Still, Bucher insisted that she’d bring officers to forcibly remove any member of the media who filmed the process.
Despite objections from reporters, the canvassing board insisted that the meeting not be filmed or photographed.
“There is no way the canvassing board can determine or ascertain what those cameras, those recording devices are recording,” said Judge August Bonavita, chair of the canvassing board. “We have to focus exclusively on what’s in front of us. We can’t pay attention to your cameras.”

Does she have a badge? She can’t jail anybody.
I was thinking the same thing.
Joseph Stalin: “It’s not the people who vote that count, it’s the people who count the votes.”
Perfect! Doesn’t she realize that the media is all about voter fraud? These people aren’t even competent criminals.
Where the heck are the people on our side at?
Democrats are Tyrants.
Gomer disagrees.
The filming is not the ballot Counting. They are filming the ballot counters. Ballots don’t change, devious Poll workers change the ballots.
I’m critical of the Democrat ballot counters, not the filmmakers.
Fl will never have another republican victory with a million and a half New Democrats I mean felons voting.
Incompetence?
No, these are the most competent election stealers in the world.
They just maybe went too far this time.
But I think in the end they will get away with it again.
This is what you get when democrats are in charge.
If the rats get away with this again, it will be like the border invasion, the alleged “caravan”, and will be done on a bigger scale the next time.
The only way to conquer this is for America to get up off its ass, and demand an end to the abuse of our electoral system. Otherwise this will become the new normal, and the electorate will cease to exist due to the “why bother” syndrome, and this country becomes just what the Democrat/Socialist’s are gaming us for. America will be a name on a map, but nothing else.
Stealing Florida will set in motion a devastating blow for a Trump second term. It appears Arizona is also going to be stolen.
With cameras on the street on every corner its TIME ...
Have cameras running for all election processing.
Boy do the Dems hate the truth.
As far as I know, signatures are never on the ballot itself. One mailing in a vote has to sign on the envelope the ballot is enclosed in. Those envelopes are no longer tied to a specific ballot once opened.
In. Your. Face. America.
Get used to their rule. We may have a few more years of Republicans, but we WILL be a socialist country within 10 years. IMHO. I see no way around it.
