Is it on purpose? Is it bad luck? Or is it that she’s just terrible at her job? The courts have reprimanded Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes on multiple occasions for veering outside of state laws when it comes to her Election Day operations. She’s sent ballots with duplicate pages, left off a ballot initiative completely, which prompted a lawsuit, and she illegally destroyed congressional ballots in 2016 (via Miami Herald):

Even beyond her own reprimand for authorizing the destruction of ballots, Snipes cannot deny the department’s patchy track record. In 2016, early voting results for Broward were posted a half hour before polls closed, in violation of election law. Her office was sued unsuccessfully because a constitutional amendment was missing from some mail-in ballots. The electronic system used by the county was also later found to have been targeted by Russian government hackers — although it’s unclear whether that affected results and had nothing to do with the early posting.
On multiple occasions, there have been problems with printing mail ballots. And in the August primaries, Broward was the last county to post election results. The department cited reasons from unexpected recounts, delayed jump drive delivery — rumor was they were temporarily lost — to a late influx of mail-in ballots that were still being counted the next day, leaving the results of several races unclear .
“We have consistently been the bottom of the barrel getting our voting results in,” Broward County Commissioner Nan Rich said at a September meeting to discuss how to prevent future delays in posting results. “I don’t want to be 67th in 67 counties again in voting.”

And now, Snipes mixed rejected provisional ballots with good ones:

Broward’s elections supervisor accidentally mixed more than a dozen rejected ballots with nearly 200 valid ones, a circumstance that is unlikely to help Brenda Snipes push back against Republican allegations of incompetence.
The mistake — for which no one had a solution Friday night — was discovered after Snipes agreed to present 205 provisional ballots to the Broward County canvassing board for inspection. She had initially intended to handle the ballots administratively, but agreed to present them to the canvassing board after Republican attorneys objected.
“We have found no clear authority controlling the situation faced by the board,” said Broward County Attorney Andrew Meyers.
On Election Day, Broward County collected more than 600 provisional ballots. The vast majority were declared invalid by the county’s canvassing board judges for reasons ranging from registering to vote too late to previously voting to voting at the wrong precinct.
[…]
…a couple hundred provisional ballots were held in limbo. Those ballots were the result of a connectivity issue in the system that precincts use to look up voter registrations, said Pat Nesbit, the elections day operations manager for Broward County. Voters would swipe their ID and the precinct system would show they weren’t registered voters. But when staffers called the Broward elections headquarters, the voter’s registration would appear. Precinct workers had those 205 voters fill out provisional ballots.
On Election Day, Broward election staffers set those 205 votes aside, removed the anonymous ballots from their signed envelopes and counted them up in a voting machine that didn’t add those numbers to the final vote count. The elections department didn’t originally intend to have the canvassing board review those votes, but after uproar from lawyers for the Republican Party, the office handed them over to the board, which usually reviews ballots still in the envelopes.

How does Snipes still have this job?

Broward County is part of ground zero in the what’s becoming another Florida elections fiasco. Republican Gov. Rick Scott has declared victory over his Democratic rival, Sen. Bill Nelson, but these late night vote dumps have chipped away at Scott’s lead, we are now in recount territory. The issue is the timing. They’re moving so slow, we don’t know how many votes are left to count, and they increased the number of the ballots cast on Election Day. This is the largest Democratic bastion in the state. Snipes was not giving regular updates on the vote tallies, something the Scott campaign wanted and had to sue in order to achieve compliance. A judge ruled in Scott’s favor yesterday, but Snipes is refusing to comply with the order.

In nearby Palm Beach, their elections supervisor, Susan Bucher, is accused of barring Scott campaign representatives from witnessing their replacement ballot process, in which damaged ballots are replaced by the election official. It's viewed as a way to make sure every vote gets counted. Yet, these officials are pretty much creating new ballots and putting them through machines, hence why there needs to be witnesses because this scenario is ripe for fraud. Florida State University Law professor Michael Morley went on a lengthy Twitter threat about the nonsense that’s going on in both counties.

Right now, things could get even more chaotic, as scores of lawyers on both sides prepare for the recount fight. And we have Ms. Snipes’ incompetence that will play a role, good or bad, but mostly bad, in this second front of the 2018 midterms.

When it comes to voter fraud, they don't get any better then the Democrat aka Mobcrat Party.

Thing is that I find very interesting is the fact that they no longer try to hide it. They no longer give a shit because they know there are no longer consequences for ones actions. Just send out a black crazy ass libtard woman and no one dares to challenge her for fear of being called a racist misogynist.

Did they just ADMIT that they had VALID ballots that they didn't count(until they got caught)?

Didn't She do the same thing a few elections ago too?

Now the elections supervisor is threatening to have reporters arrested for covering the ballot counting?
