Old disgraced incompetent democrats never go away.  They sue to stay on the gravy train.

Embattled Broward County, Florida, elections supervisor Brenda Snipes said Saturday she was rescinding her resignation.

The move announced by her attorney came a day after Republican Gov. Rick Scott, citing "misfeasance, incompetence and neglect of duty," issued an executive order to immediately remove and replace her.

Snipes' attorney, Burnadette Norris-Weeks, said Saturday that Scott removed her because he wanted to embarrass her and "tarnish her record."

" ... and we will be fighting this," Norris-Weeks said. "In addition to that, Dr. Snipes hereby rescinds her resignation."

Republican leaders, including President Trump, criticized Snipes for her handling of the Nov. 6 election in which Scott defeated Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson for U.S. Senate. Some in the GOP made unsubstantiated allegations of voter fraud.

My hunch is she will prevail in one of the most corrupt counties in the country.  Good thing Scott didn't fire her, then she could have sued for wrongful termination. BTW did I mention that good ole boy Jeb! appointed her?

Broward election chief Snipes rescinds resignation, will fight governor's suspension

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 even though Peter Antonacci 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.

"We believe these actions are malicious," said Burnadette Norris-Weeks, who said that Broward County voters should be concerned about what Scott is trying to do in the Democratic stronghold by putting in an ally who could oversee the office into the 2020 elections.

Snipes has been the top elections official in the south Florida county since 2003 when then-Gov. Jeb Bush appointed her. She came under withering criticism for her handling of this year's elections, as well as its legally required recount in close races for governor and U.S. Senate. She had been elected three times and her current term was not scheduled to end until 2020.........

the governor appoints her and she now refuses to acknowledge?

She has zero respect for rule of law.

AG should seek criminal charges and send her to jail.

Snipes was pissed about losing the final $30 grand through year end.

File charges and provide the crook accommodations suitable.

Pam Bondi through all of this has been lazy and she's had some other questionable issue surrounding her duties as AG and her political career.

Madam. Your disparagement of one of the finest civil servants this country has ever seen, Pam Bondi, is ludicrous, outrageous, insane, disgusting, pusillanimous and immoral.
