Judge Will NOT Issue Injuction In Rick Scott Motion To Impound Broward Election Equipment & Records

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) — More than a dozen attorneys are in court Monday for an emergency hearing involving a lawsuit filed by Florida Governor Rick Scott, asking to impound ballots and machines at the Broward Election office.

Republican Gov. Rick Scott’s U.S. Senate campaign filed two new lawsuits Sunday, one demanding law enforcement impound and secure voting machines, tallies and ballots in Broward and Palm Beach counties any time they were not actively in use.

“What we are asking the court to do today is too remove any doubt. Take away the concerns of the citizens, take away the concerns of the public that this election process will be protected,” stated attorney for Rick Scott, Jason Zimmerman. “All you have to do, your honor, to take away that doubt, to fix the erosion of this process, is to grant this injunction. Allow Broward County Sheriff’s to monitor the votes when they are not in use. We are not asking the court to have Broward County Sheriff’s Office overseeing or standing over the shoulder of people who are counting the votes. We are not asking the Broward County Sheriff’s Office to interfere with any count whatsoever. We are asking the court, when these ballots in these voting machines, are not in use, to have someone other than Dr. Snipes, other than someone who listens and reports to Dr. Snipes be a part of the inspection process.”

Broward Canvassing Board attorney Eugene Pettis countered by saying security is extremely tight at the facility.

The ruling issued by Judge Who of what level court? Bothers me when I see postings like this and the source never names the judge or the court level (district? county ?)

I saw on another thread it was a federal judge.

This is what appeals courts are for. Just do it!

Yup. The precedent was set in Bush v. Gore. Scott's 14th. Amendment rights are being violated.

Not too few negatives, not leaving you uncertain of what’s not being said?

2018 journalism.

I am not advocating violence, but there is a limit to what the most law abiding person will accept.

I suggest that the corrupt in FL read what they can find about Athens, TN.

There are many links to this story and some may be better than this one, but those interested can start here:

Eventually, unless the state steps in and cleans it up, something like that event in Athens will repeat in Broward County.

Allow Broward County Sheriffs to watch over stuff?

Yeah, that would have helped. Maybe Sheriff Scott Isreal can watch over things himself.

Get rid of vote by mail except for military overseas. No early voting. Everyone votes Election Day. This should fix most of it. Quite a few states don’t have these liberal laws and work out fine.

Trump is only a bump on the road to Venezuela..Rush finally figured out it is no use.

“Don’t doubt me, folks...I’ll tell you when to panic” As he was fielding seminar callers equating hillary and Trump during the GOP nomination.

A sunshine ‘patriot’. He hit with the flat of the sword while Obama fundamentally transformed America. The spokespeople on ‘our’ side make me sick.

The word got should be plural, to be correct.
