‘It is time to move on’: Brenda Snipes talks leaving elections post in Broward County
Miami Herald ^ | November 13, 2018 | Alex Harris

After days of enduring heavy criticism, Broward’s controversial supervisor of elections said Tuesday might not seek another term in office.

Brenda Snipes told reporters “it is time to move on” from the position she has held for 15 years as head of Broward County’s elections. Her current term runs through 2020.

“I think I have served the purpose that I came for, which is to provide a credible election product for Broward,” she said.

The decision isn’t final, she said, because she still has to talk to her family about it.

Snipes’ announcement came after a reporter asked her response to a tweet from former Florida Governor Jeb Bush, who appointed Snipes, calling for her removal from office.

“There is no question that Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes failed to comply with Florida law on multiple counts, undermining Floridians’ confidence in our electoral process,” Bush tweeted.

Snipes called the tweet “his opinion,” and said she has worked tireless since Bush picked her for the position. She has since been elected to the post four times and would be up for reelection in 2020.

If she remains in office until then, she would be supervising the presidential election in 2020, the same one in which her successor would be chosen.

“Many supervisors’ offices have various types of incidents to occur,” she said. “I don’t know why we get a bigger spotlight than some.”

She also responded to a recent baseless tweet from President Donald Trump accusing her office of “finding” votes, without any evidence to prove it.

“””It was his mistake first when he bowed down to the race baiters and put her there in the first place...then Scott bowed down again when he didn’t replace her...

When are these GOP idiots going to realize that they don’t gain any votes by being nice to race baiters and they don’t lose any votes for standing their ground! How many races do you need to lose to see the light!”””


The Florida Governor appoints people to fill vacant offices.

In 2004 and every four years thereafter, the Leftist Democrats in Broward County elected Comrade Brenda Snipes to be their corrupt Commissar of Elections.

So this is a nothing burger designed to distract away from her culpability.

“I think I have served the purpose that I came for...”

Well, that’s true, and the purpose was widespread fraud.

This Snipes woman is already a FULLY retired Broward Schools Principal and collecting a full pension, while working full time as elected Superv. of Elections. Her monthly income as a result is over 6K/month (not talking about the kickbacks she gets/got rom hitlery in the national election- hitlery recently secretly visted Snipes, when she was down promoting with Pelosi— statewide offices including gillums as governor.

She met with hitlery— and she has already had a judge direct that her office be under Legal Officer observation, due to her destroying of ballots in the Debbie Wash Your Hair Shulz’s primary-— which was challenged by another democrat— who lost and demanded a recount. Ballots destroyed.

I wonder if welfare isn’t such a bad idea after all...
It might encourage people like this one NOT to seek employment at the public trough.

(I advocated in 2008 to give $100 million to insane obama to reject his newly elected position. Would have been the best business deal America ever made.)

Guess again. Her teacher’s pension is paying her $4.633 per month and her current salary is $15,000 per month.

How about all the ballots that had undervotes on Election Day then got Nelson bubbled in when the Board of elections barred observers?
