I'm beginning to think that Brenda Snipes in Broward was trying to HELP Republicans

How in the hell did one of the bluest counties in the State of Florida have SOOOO many missing ballots. That would hurt Dems, not help them. The Republicans are crying foul but she may have been trying to help them, not hurt them.

She was appointed by a partisan republican. She set aside lots of ballots in a county where republicans are beaten soundly regularly. Yes, seems that she was trying to help republicans and now has her ass in a sling.

Ballots that go missing help the GOP. If missing ballots are found, GOP candidates feel entitled to rage about Dem vote fraud.

Yesterday, I caught a YouTube video of a poll worker who captured video of cars driving up with single drivers, removing bags of ballots from their trunks, and throwing them into a Rider truck. When the worker asked what was going on, the people involved got evasive and defensive. The YouTube person showing the video listed off a number of laws being violated. I think it was in Broward. I wish I could track it down (I came to it via Twitter), but no time now (maybe I'll find later and post).

This is not a flaw with her, Jeb appointed her because protecting Repugs is her feature. She's done it every single election. She chooses the worst ballot design on purpose, doesn't hire sufficient staff, moves polling places behind gates, refuses to pay overtime when they are in danger of missing important deadlines, et. et.

I used to live in Boca. One of my best friends lives in the City of Deerfield. I'm going to text and ask if he had to vote at that location.

From: https://www.sun-sentinel.com/opinion/editorials/fl-op-editorial-snipes-20181110-story.html

Snipes is not someone who would manufacture boxes of ballots to throw an election.

She’s simply incompetent.

She has a track record of mistakes and failing to own up to them.

She’s long been willing to settle for coming in last in reporting elections results.
