Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes tries to explain to the canvassing board the discrepancy in vote counts during the hand count,... recount hit yet another snag with 2,040 ballots lost or misplaced.
The county’s eternally beleaguered SOE Snipes said they were either misplaced, misfiled or mixed in with another stack. One thing she said she was sure of was that the ballots were still in the building. “The ballots are in this building. There would be nowhere else for them to be,” Snipes said. “The ballots are in the building."
Snipes has been in the crosshairs... since Election Day. With a noon Sunday deadline looming, the Canvassing Board was... uncertain what to do. “We're concerned with the ramifications of failing to complete this task,” ..." we don’t want to disenfranchise 714,849 voters at the expense of 2,000 voters.”
Snipes told the Canvassing Board and lawyers.... an employee likely misplaced the ballots. “I’m not blaming anyone, but many ... were not as well trained as some others."
...the vote tally first reported to the state is bigger than the machine recount.... That’s because the ostensibly lost ballots likely didn’t get tabulated during the recount, Snipes said. Snipes .... believes that the initial vote totals.... are accurate.... she wants those [original]; numbers adjusted for additional votes uncovered in manual recounts....The board will return at 8 a.m. to approve a final to send to the state.

Fried, is locked in an exceedingly tight race with Republican Matt Caldwell for agriculture commissioner.
“Dr. Snipes, with all due respect to you and your office” — to explain what happened. “The ballots being in the building doesn’t get them counted,” [Fried's attorney said.].... Fried’s vote total went down 1,341 votes in Broward. Caldwell’s vote total decreased 616. ...

It sounds like BSOE is stuck hiding 2,000 tampered fraudulent votes.... hmm. The SOE building(s) need to be designated crime scenes and searched by ...FDLE (not BSO.)
The bulk of the 2,000 fraud ballots had favored their party's 'gun-grabber,' Nikki Fried.
Keep in mind, Matt Caldwell originally won by around 33,000 votes with 98% of precincts reported.
Won’t be enough to overcome the gubernatorial/Senate contest results.
Nice try with the cheating but no cigar.
Sounds like a snipe hunt is coming.
Where, oh where, can those magical ballots be?
I can only see two scenarios....one, that they never existed. The second is that some ‘wise-guy’ was in the middle of the mess and flushed them down some toilet.
I hate to suggest it, but Paraguay could manage a better count-system than Florida.
Rick Scott will be Florida’s next Senator.
Ron DeSantis will be Florida’s next Governor.
But, Matt Caldwell may have been cheated from being Florida’s Agricultural Commissioner.
Anybody check the trunk of her car?
It’s either A or B.:
A. The dirty handed culprits freaked out and have been smuggling their cache of ballots out of the building.
B. The ballots never actually existed since the 2,040 discrepancy was the result of machine tampering.
Good one, considering the lead character in this farce.
“I hate to suggest it, but Paraguay could manage a better count-system than Florida.”
It is most odd that Mexico which is most corrupt has a very clean and honest election system. Voter ID issued to only Mexican Nationals get to vote.
Many years ago this was not true. It is true today. No early voting, no absentee voting etc. You show up and vote. The do have voting for ex patriots out of the nation. They are mostly in the United States.
> Where, oh where, can those magical ballots be?
Odds on answer is “not in the building”.
probably the blank ones from Avis....
Hope so and I hope it is effective.
These people are shameful.
They are in the box at the airport!
purposeful and Total flustercluck.
One thing India has, out of their total population, over 300 million people who make less than $1 a day. A subset of India’s population that is truly poor, that exceeds the entire population of the US of A.
And guess what? Every single one of them has a photo ID for voting. We are being gaslighted folks. The voting shenannigans going on all over the nation are a complete disgrace. It’s a con. The people who are charged with ensuring legitimacy to our elections, our institutions, are too often corrupt and wicked.
Did they check Sandy Berger’s socks?
One thing I have never heard from Broward is a precinct by precinct count of how many in person and absentee ballots were issued and how many were counted along with how that count has changed from day to day. All the numbers are countywide numbers, but elections are handled by the precinct. If 2000 ballots disappear, which precinct's ballots were they and does the current number or the larger number match with the number of ballots issued.
I tried to warn them not to use Schrödinger's cat's box as a ballot box.
#7 I was thinking same thing. Search her trunk.
Never mind just lock her up.
