More often than naught Broward County, Fla., where I serve as GOP State Committeeman, makes headlines during election season — and not for good reasons. Broward County’s elections department has a history of malfeasance, and that malfeasance is playing out on the national stage today.
Tuesday night, Republicans across the state of Florida celebrated Gov. Rick Scott’s victory in the Senate race and Ron DeSantis’ successful gubernatorial race. However, Broward County’s Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes had other plans for the state. Her team was counting ballots past a mandatory reporting deadline, and would soon after “discover†bags and boxes of ballots left behind in the back of cars, school classrooms, and elsewhere, completely disregarding the chain of custody which secures these votes as legitimate.
As the clock continues to tick, Snipes has refused to report how many ballots are left to be counted, subverting the will of the people by following her own rules which break the rule of law, and specifically Florida’s constitution. Of course, this is not the first time Broward’s SOE has played games with democracy.
