That's when you know they have absolutely nothing else to turn to. Surprised she didn't play that card earlier.

as usual this report is hard to understand

Fox reports that the Friday Broward hand count of over/unders resulted in a Nelson (D) plus up of 274 votes.

Currently Scott (R) has an advantage of over 12,000 votes. (over the entire state)

Separate issue:

Broward's initial tally of votes was 2,040 votes more than the total counted in the machine recount.

Snipes said that elections office staff and contractors believe that the initial vote totals — with higher number of votes cast — from the first report to the state are accurate and the second set of number’s aren’t accurate.

Snipes told the elections Canvassing Board and lawyers representing the Democratic and Republican parties that an employee likely misplaced the ballots.

The big question was what to do next. When final results are sent to the state on Sunday, she wants to base those numbers on the original returns from Nov. 10 — possibly adjusted for additional votes uncovered in manual recounts of over votes and under votes conducted on Friday and Saturday.

Shortly after 8 p.m., a recess was called. The board will return at 8 a.m. to approve a final to send to the state.

Broward County didn’t make the deadline that one of its canvassing board judges unofficially set for 10 a.m. Sunday. But the county did make the deadline that counted, submitting its official recount results an hour before the state’s noon cutoff.

To avoid a repeat of Thursday’s deadline debacle — when the board certified results 15 minutes before the deadline but staffers submitted them two minutes late — the board asked Broward Election Director Joseph D’Alessandro to report back once the results were officially submitted.

“The results have been transmitted to Tallahassee,” said D’Alessandro, head of elections planning and development. “They have received our results and have accepted them.”

The crowd, thinned considerably as many of the lawyers and national media have left, broke into applause.

Snipes told reporters that 2,040 “missing ballots” were never missing, just misfiled. They weren’t counted in the machine recount, but they were included in the totals sent to the state from the first count.

The plan Sunday morning was to have D’Alessandro triple-check his numbers and present them for the board to approve at 8 a.m., but there were delays in gathering the data, errors in its initial presentation to the board and quibbles between lawyers on the wording of a supplementary report.

As 11 a.m. approached, the canvassing judges grew impatient.

“Everybody here, including Dr. Snipes, has worked hard and diligent in this process for hours and hours,” said Judge Deborah Carpenter-Toye. “We are now in the 11th hour, and I am prepared to end this process.”

Neighboring Miami-Dade, the most populous county in the state, completed its recount and submitted the results Saturday night. Palm Beach County, plagued by machine errors, didn’t even plan to start the manual recount of the commissioner of agriculture race until past the noon deadline.

We're at the point where when they describe complication I see obfuscation.

Guess who is a new Senator from Florida?

I'll give you two guesses, and the Democrat does not count, cuz you only get to vote once!!!

Now someone get that woman who tried to Snipe the election a pair of matching bracelets.

You know, a participation award that will last for many, many years.

52 now. One more to go.

I expected Rick Scott to win but how did Nelson pick up about 2500 votes from the manual recount?

Brenda Snipes submits resignation as Broward elections supervisor

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/n...-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 exact effective date of the resignation was unclear Sunday evening.

Norris-Weeks said she believes it was effective Jan. 2. Perez-Verdia said she was told the effective date was Jan. 5.

PRAISE THE LORD!!! I hope someone nudged her into it with a few hints about jail time and maybe being sued into penury!

A January resignation would likely put responsibility for appointing a replacement in the hands of Gov.-elect Ron DeSantis, rather than outgoing Gov. Rick Scott.

They should have fired Snipes. By resigning she still gets a pension and all of the benefits.

Ignorant, incompetent, corrupt, dishonest and just plain stupid, all in equal proportions. IOW, a typical Democrat.

Brenda Snipes will get about $130,000 per year in retirement.

59k per year from her time as a teacher and school administrator

plus 71k per year from her time in elected office as Broward County Supervisor of Elections.

When Snipes walks away from her $178,865-a-year job, she’ll be eligible to collect almost $130,000 a year in state pensions for her combined 50 years as a public school educator and elected official

It really is a racket, ain't it?

An enormous, disgusting racket.

So a Broward County official gets 40% after 14/15 years of service? That’s insane.

As long as it's coming from Broward taxpayers, I'm fine with it. They deserve this until they insist on local authorities cleaning this up and then they elect some honest people.
