I was on the ground as an observer in Broward County during the Florida recount involving Governor Rick Scott and Senator Bill Nelson. Washington Democrats, Republicans, and the media are all confused regarding what really happen in Broward in the past few weeks.

Democrats want to say that any vote fraud or miscounting in Broward was caused by their inefficiency, not bad intent. Yet, there can be no question the final vote total stole votes from Rick Scott.

We have written on this blog often on Broward County Florida Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes, but we must admit we were shocked by her statement today. 

On Tuesday, while speaking with reporters, Snipes hinted that she may not be in the job very long and said that it was "hard to rule out race" as a factor in the criticism being lobbed at her. . . .

Snipes argued on Monday that the lawsuits were nothing more than an attack on her integrity.

. . . "I have worked here for about 15 years and I have to say this is the first time that this office or I have been under such attacks," she said.

Florida is once again in the news for its election administration problems.  Of course, it is unfair to say "Florida," as it is really just a handful of counties in south Florida that perennially find it difficult to follow Florida's election laws and procedures.  Even the counties devastated by Hurricane Michael less than a month before Election Day managed to count their ballots on time.  But not Broward or Palm Beach Counties.
