“There is no question that Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes failed to comply with Florida law on multiple counts, undermining Floridians’ confidence in our electoral process,” the former Florida governor tweeted.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush called for embattled Broward County election chief Brenda Snipes to be removed from office, adding fuel to a Republican effort to cast doubt on the validity of statewide election results.
The Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office, to which Bush appointed Snipes in 2003, has come under fire. The office continued on Monday to count tens of thousands of ballots, leading some Republicans — cheered on by President Donald Trump — to accuse the office of fraud without offering any evidence of wrongdoing....[snip]
And she’s losing the support of fellow Democrats, too....
In May, a federal judge said she violated state and federal laws by destroying ballots from the 2016 reelection bid of Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
She has become the scapegoat upon which many Republicans are blaming the Florida GOP’s midterm election woes. Some state officials say her lax oversight has created an office where election fraud can happen.....
Last week, Trump tweeted about “The Broward Effect,” and wondered why none of the “found” votes were for Republicans.
The president tweeted Monday, Veteran’s Day, that the counting should stop and the results from election night should stand — an outcome that, some noted, could lead to the disfranchisement of military members stationed overseas.
“The Florida Election should be called in favor of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis in that large numbers of new ballots showed up out of nowhere, and many ballots are missing or forged,” Trump wrote. “An honest vote count is no longer possible-ballots massively infected. Must go with Election Night!

It carries weight. Brings the poll numbers too the ground. He also ended poorly as govenor. Finally, where to begin on who he has now become. Total gutter trash.
Don’t like the guy, but give credit where credit is due.
Sleepy Jeff woke Low-Energy Jeb up.
“Cast doubt on the validity???”
Cheatin’ Democrats in Broward and PB did that all by themselves!
Scott should have sent in the state troopers days ago.
Agree.
Yes it does. Jeb was a very popular Florida governor and voted the most popular governor in the country during his first term.
In 2015, All the money and assumption was on Jeb.
At the national delegate convention after primaries, only 25-30% of the FL delegation supported Trump. The other 75 wanted anyone but Trump. There was nearly a revolt to abandon/ go rogue against the peoples’ choice- Trump.
How does it work to get rid of Sheriff Israel there? Also much needed.
Jeb appointed her predecessor, Miriam Oliphant, as well.
Black, Dem, Board of Education woman.
First sensible thing I’ve heard bush say in ages!
The office continued on Monday to count tens of thousands of ballots...

Still adding to the ballot total a week after the election!? WTF.
Jeb was too in love with Hillary to ever be recognized for anything instead of possibly not being a bigger loser than the biggest, which is obviously Mitt Romney.
Clinton is tied to Bush and vice a versa. Just like family, the ties that bind:
Mena, AR.
Murrah Bldg.
UBL
Possibly Slick was an asset when he left Oxford and played hippie. It explains how he had the $$ to travel abroad so extensively.
Interesting. I’d forgotten about the overwhelming no confidence vote against him. Still I’m confident all the ‘guards’ he’s supplying the SOE will come from the 94, not the 534, and understand they’re not guarding the ballots from the SOE but rather the SOE from the rest of us.
QUICK, SOMEBODY HAND ME THE SMELLING SALTS——Jeb Bush actually said Broward election chief Snipes should be removed?
“There is no question that Broward County Brenda Snipes failed to comply with Florida law on multiple counts,
undermining Floridians’ confidence in our electoral process”..........
Jeb is now adding fuel to a Republican effort to cast doubt on the validity of the election results.
Stopped clock.
Ah, back to the legal definition of "evidence" which requires a statement, document or article be accepted by a judge into a case in a court of law. This excludes talking about something you witnessed first hand if there is not court case about it. The Clintons were famous for saying that "There is no evidence".
He wants the job for himself.
Hey ¿Jeb? , why don’t you go lobby the President to be appointed the Secretary of (Low) Energy?
