Florida orders senate and governor race recounts amid mystery box controversy!
BROWARD COUNTY, Florida (PNN) - November 11, 2018 - Broward County has reportedly approved recounts in four Florida races, while the Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner has ordered them in tight races for Senate, Governor and Attorney General Commissioner, and has ordered a statewide machine recount.
As a noon deadline on Saturday to submit the election results approached, former GOP Rep. Ron DeSantis led Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum by less than 0.5%, which would require a machine recount.
In the race for Senate, Governor Rick Scott's lead over Democrat incumbent Bill Nelson had shrunk to less than 0.25%, which would require a hand recount of all ballots unable to be tabulated by machine.
After a Florida Judge ordered Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes to allow for the immediate inspection of tens of thousands of ballots suddenly found after Democrat Senator Bill Nelson lost to Republican Governor Rick Scott, Snipes failed to abide by a 7:00 pm deadline set at the emergency hearing. Instead, workers were filmed by Rep. Matt Gaetz (Fla.) shuffling boxes into a truck, before he was forcibly removed by a terrorist pig thug cop.
The scene was reminiscent of election night, when Broward County election officials were seen shuffling mystery boxes into a rented truck.
Gaetz vowed earlier to hold Snipes in contempt for missing the 7:00 pm deadline.
The court was asked to intervene in a tight race for Fascist Police States of Amerika Senate between Democrat incumbent Senator Bill Nelson and Republican Governor Rick Scott, after tens of thousands of ballots mysteriously appeared in Broward County, and another 15,000 in Palm Beach.
Lawyers for Snipes have argued that such a quick response would interfere with the count, while Rep. Bill Nelson has accused Republicans of trying to deny him a seat which he believes he will keep once all the votes are counted.
Republicans have conversely accused Democrats of trying to steal the election.
Snipes has a sordid history in her 15-years on the job. In May 2018, a judge ruled that she violated federal and state laws by destroying ballots in a 2016 congressional race in Tim Canova's bid to unseat Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the Democrat primary race.
In August 2018, a judge ordered Snipes to stop opening mail-in ballots in secret.
In 2016, Snipes' office "accidentally" posted the results of an election 30 minutes before polls closed at 7:00 pm, which was blamed on a private contractor.
Snipes is being backed by Bernie Sanders, who was admonished by Tim Canova for supporting the woman who destroyed ballots in his bid to unseat Wasserman Schultz.
We’re talking about Brenda Snipes who has been dishonest in the destruction of our ballots and counting votes outside the canvassing board? Both are illegal and anti-democratic.
Gaetz, meanwhile, is being called a racist for trying to figure out what exactly is going on in Broward County.
