Scott Wins Lawsuit Against Broward County's Criminal Elections Commissioner

UPDATE: OH MY GOD.

That is literally "creating new votes," and once again, Snipes deliberately avoided all the laws which are in place precisely to prevent fraud during this operation.

Why would she do that, if fraud was not her actual mission?

..

She wasn't just breaking the law, she was flagrantly breaking the law, ignoring all the parts of the law specifically enacted to ensure people would not just create new "votes" behind closed doors and without supervision.

Why would someone violate the very rules that are supposed to guard against vote fraud?

Hmm, that's a puzzler.

Guy Benson:

By law, each county must report all vote-by-mail ballots they've tabulated within half an hour of polls closing. As other ballots remain uncounted, counties must offer regular, specific and public updates every 45 minutes until the process of counting is complete. This has not happened. At all. In fact, Broward officials have repeatedly been unable or unwilling to even say how many ballots remain to be tabulated -- understandably leading to furious charges of dangerous and lawless incompetence, at best, and partisan manipulations or fraud at the worst. And as the tweet above notes, Broward (the worst offender) has no excuse to use as a crutch. Nearby Miami-Dade, home to more people, has a longer physical ballot, yet they managed to get this done in a timely fashion, in accordance with the state's legal requirements. And GOP-heavy counties in the Panhandle did the same, despite getting hammered by a powerful hurricane just a few weeks prior to the election.

Twitchy collected a good thread arguing why these laws are important, and hinting at why someone might choose to deliberately violate them.

Even Marco Rubio -- few people's idea of a partisan warrior; he had a mutual pact with Senator Nelson that neither would campaign against the other -- is outraged:

But would Brenda Snipes commit vote fraud?

Surprise! She already did!

She deliberately destroyed ballots in a primary contest in order to throw the election to the candidate she favored.

Rick Scott filed suit to tell this woman to stop breaking every law there is and to answer all reporting requirements by 7pm tonight (about an hour and a half away now).

My worry is: She's been locked behind closed doors without any supervision for three days now.

How do we know she didn't already manufacture all the votes she needs?

More Background:

Update: The media has immediately rushed to deem all of this a conspiracy theory, not bothering to acquaint themselves with the law or Snipes' history of election violations or... anything.

They're the elites, you know. The Know-Nothing, Can't-Fucking-Read-a-Civil-Code Elite.
