Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostJim, 65 of the 67 counties in the state of Florida apparently had no major problems. The biggest headache seems to be in Broward County, which is headed, not by a Republican, but Dr Brenda Snipes, a Democrat. While you try to twist this story by calling her "Republican appointed" - it was, as I pointed out, Jeb Bush who appointed her, who is also now calling for her to resign. She was an abject failure.
Thankfully, she seems to be agreeing with Jeb - "A day after Jeb Bush called for her to resign, Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes said "it is time to move on" from her role overseeing the Florida county office".

Did she just become an abject failure, or was Bush and Scott incompetent in fixing the problem for the last 15 years?The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Jeb Bush did, in fact, appoint Brenda Snipes to her post in 2004, because her predecessor, Miriam Oliphant, was suspended for bad conduct.
WHY did Bush fire the BLACK FEMALE DEMOCRAT Oliphant?
Government investigators found that not only had her office neglected to perform some of its most essential tasks, but it had gone almost $1 million over budget. Among other findings was that Oliphant fired many experienced staff members, and replaced them with an all black and less (in some cases not-at-all) experienced friends and associates with significantly higher rates of pay.
She hired a college admissions representative who didn't even know what a primary election was and put her in charge of registration and absentee ballots. She promoted a computer specialist, whom she'd met in her condominium building, to deputy supervisor.
One of the most questioned of Oliphant's personnel decisions was that of hiring a homeless man, Glen Davis, whom she met at the same shelter as her sister, who is also homeless. Davis, who was given mail room duties, failed to process over 300 absentee ballots for a 2002 primary election. His performance notwithstanding, shortly before her removal Oliphant gave Davis a $5000 raise.
Due to Oliphant not hiring enough poll workers during the same 2002 primary, precinct voting locations had to open late and close early. All this was intolerable to Broward residents who had not forgotten the county's handling of the 2000 Presidential Election.
After APPOINTING Snipes to her position ---- now hold your seat for this part, Jim --- she was ELECTED by your Democrat colleagues to continue in that position.
Bush gave her a chance, and DEMOCRATS kept her in office.
With South Florida again in the national eye on races too close to call and troubles in counting and re-counting votes, so, too is the supervisor of elections.
Broward Supervisor Brenda Snipes took office 15 years ago after the governor suspended her predecessor, Miriam Oliphant.
And, more from the Miami Herald...
So you can't blame REPUBLICANS for this disaster, Jim --- it's your own DEMOCRATS who are to blame for this fiasco.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
