Judge rules in Scott's favor, orders Snipes to hand over ballot info by 7:00 pm

Judge Carol-Lisa Phillip said Snipes must allow inspections on or before 7 p.m. Friday evening. Phillips found that Snipes violated that law by failing to turn over the information to attorneys for Scott's Senate campaign and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.

Lawyers for Snipes argued that requiring such a swift response would interfere with ongoing efforts to finish counting Broward County ballots. But lawyers for Scott contended the information is already required to be collected under state law and should take minutes to provide.

Scott filed a lawsuit Thursday night against, asking the court to order Snipes to turn over several records detailing the counting and collection of ballots.

Show and tell and keep counting.

Funny how our Alien Overlord wants transparency when it suits his agenda yet has been one of the most inaccessible Governors in Florida's history.

Show them whatever silly thing they want to see, and keep up the counting.

It's the counting that is the most important thing.

Don't lose sight of the forest through the trees.
