Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes Resigns, But How She Got The Job Goes Beyond Irony
Incumbent Democratic Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) isn’t the only person not retuning to his job in the near future. Broward County’s Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes is out as well. While she wasn’t voted out or removed from her post, she promptly tendered her resignation, ending a 15-year reign of incompetence that makes anyone wonder how she was able to keep her job. Then again, Broward is a Democratic bastion and one of the problem children when it comes to Florida elections; Palm Beach County, another liberal haven, is Broward’s equally incompetent sibling. Both counties had ballot-counting procedures that were not transparent and did not give regular updates on the outstanding ballot count.
It was an operation so entrenched in the basement that Republican Gov. Rick Scott, now officially Senator-elect Scott, had to file lawsuits to shed some light into what the hell was going on down there. Palm Beach had much more serious allegations of possible fraud, specifically when it came to replacement ballots. In that instance, an election official can fill out a new ballot in case the machines cannot read one. It’s supposed to prevent disenfranchisement, but also carries a great risk of fraud. Hence why there’s a witness procedure in this process; Scott’s lawsuit alleges that his campaign representatives were barred from overseeing this part of the ballot counting operation in Palm Beach. With Scott ahead by at least 10,000 votes after a couple days into the hand recount, Nelson conceded. With the conclusion of a frenetic 2018 cycle in the Sunshine State, Snipes called it quits (via Sun Sentinel): (https://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/politics/fl-ne-brenda-snipes-resigns-20181118-story.html)
Just hours after finishing a tumultuous election recount, Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes submitted her resignation, ending a 15-year tenure full of botched elections, legal disputes and blistering criticism.
“It is true. She did send it,” said Burnadette Norris-Weeks, an attorney who works as counsel to the Supervisor of Elections Office.
Evelyn Perez-Verdia, a former office spokeswoman who left several years ago, said Sunday evening she was told by people in the office that the letter was sent “to Tallahassee” earlier in the day.
Norris-Weeks said she saw an early draft of the letter. In the version she saw, she said Snipes, 75, expressed a desire to spend more time with her family.
The voice mail on Snipes’ cell phone was full Sunday night, and she didn’t immediately respond to a text message.
The exact effective date of the resignation was unclear Sunday evening.
