The Brenda Snipes nightmare continues

Were Franz Kafka alive, and an American, he would find his muse in a certain municipal functionary from Florida. Her name is Brenda Snipes, and she is the nightmarishly incompetent, bizarre, and wholly illogical supervisor of elections in Broward County.
Snipes became the subject of the nightly news because she couldn’t do what all 65 other election supervisors could. She couldn’t follow the rules and count votes by the book.
It almost ruined the election between Gov. Rick Scott and incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson. In one election and one subsequent recount, Snipes broke the law in at least three ways:
Snipes neglected to notify the secretary of state of the number of ballots counted and the number of ballots still to be counted.
Snipes violated state public records laws when she refused to tell either campaign about voter tallies.
Snipes mixed legitimate absentee ballots with absentee ballots pending approval.
