Resignation of Brenda Broward Chief Electoral Officer Brenda Snipes

Earlier, during the initial counting of votes, Mr. Snipes' office inadvertently mixed about 20 invalid provisional ballots in a stack of 205 otherwise valid ballots. The solicitation committee finally accepted all the ballot papers, stating that it would prefer to allow them rather than depriving them of their right to vote more than 180 valid votes.

Mr. Scott's campaign brought a lawsuit to gain access to all voting records. A court found that Broward had violated the Public Registration and State Constitution Act.

Even before being denounced by Mr. Scott, Senator Marco Rubio and President Trump himself, Mr. Snipes' mandate had been marred by problems, including the illegal destruction of ballots in a congressional race. which should have been kept for review, and mismanagement of the ballots posted.

Democrats strongly criticized the design of ballots in Broward County. The results of the November 6 elections showed that some 30,000 Broward voters had not made a choice in the Senate race, which is a considerable disavowal, attributed to a ballot design that concealed the ballot. the lower left corner of the page. This design contravened national guidelines that recommended listing no race in the voter's instructions. This led some Democrats to believe that the design might have cost Nelson the election.

Due to the controversy surrounding the controversy, the release of Mr. Snipes does not surprise Broward Democrats on Sunday, even some who have defended Mr. Snipes in the past, but find that it's getting harder and harder to because the mid-term elections and the recounting resulted in embarrassment for another for the county. However, no one seemed to be expecting Dr. Snipes to act so quickly.

"Wow, it was fast," said Cynthia Busch, president of the county's Democrats, after learning of the resignation of a journalist on Sunday night. "People no longer trust her, and if that includes even those of us who have tried to help us as best we could, that is in itself an unsustainable situation for a presidential. election."

The protesters went to the Broward election office last week, demanding the ouster of Mr. Snipes. Pro-Trump groups have gone so far as to publish their home address and phone number online.
