This is a good question, deserving of a short Twitter thread. Basically, Broward's Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes is both incompetent and as crooked as the day is long. 1/x
After progressive Democrat Tim Canova lost in a primary to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, he suspected that there may have been fraud involved so he launched a suit to find out miaminewtimes.com/news/tim-canov… 2/x
As part of this suit, he asked for an injunction against the destruction of the paper ballots and eventual access to them. After stonewalling for many, many months Brenda Snipes admitted - oops - she destroyed the ballots after she was told not to. sun-sentinel.com/local/broward/…
She ended up paying his legal fees for the suit. That's nice. But that wasn't the only time she (almost certainly) intentionally treated the law like her plaything. 4/x
Florida Republicans complained that she had opened thousands of ballots in secret, and suspected that she was simply throwing away Republican ballots, so they filed a lawsuit and a judge told her "you may not open early/absentee ballots in secret!" politico.com/states/florida… 5/x
Then on primary day, she filed an injunction against the order and opens ballots in secret anyway! politico.com/states/florida… 6/x
Anyway, this is the woman who now says that she can't tell the public how many more ballots she will end up counting, with both a Senate and a Governor race hanging tightly in the balance. Very reasonable to suspect that she may try to steal both for the Dems. #voterfraud fin.
