Brenda Snipes makes the right decision

Broward County, Fla., election chief Brenda Snipes submitted her resignation on Sunday after weeks of criticism from Republican officials who accused her of illegal activity during the Florida recounts, according to multiple reports.

Snipes fielded criticism from President Trump as well as Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R), who appointed her as Broward County supervisor of elections in 2003. Bush called for Snipes to resign, to which she replied, "That's his opinion."

Voting in Broward County under Snipes took longer than other Florida counties and was marred by allegations of misconduct by election overseers.

Snipes on Saturday said that her office was unable to locate 2,040 ballots that had been included in the first vote count but not in the machine recount, The Sun Sentinel reported.

That's something I can simply not understand. How do you lose ballots? And then, how do you find them? It sonds like either corruption or extreme incompetence (not necessarily on the part of election chief).

The Broward County elections office also faced scrutiny for sending out a sample ballot that did not resemble the ballot used during the election itself.

Snipes at a press conference last week said she felt her office got a "bigger spotlight" than others in Florida who also faced some obstacles.

"It is unfortunate that we’ve had some issues that have gotten continuous and expanded publicity," Snipes said last Tuesday. "Many supervisors have various kinds of incidents to occur. I don’t know why we get a bigger spotlight than some."

You do know why, and you should have planned for it.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
