Brenda Snipes Reported 634,000 Votes on Election Night – Today She Reported 717,000 Votes — Broward Officials Just Manufactured 83,000 Fraudulent Votes!
Broward County's election division is a national disgrace: A history
We are now three days beyond the election, and votes have yet to be counted in Broward County, Fla. Election officials in the South Florida county are still discovering and still counting ballots that could determine who becomes governor and who the state sends to the Senate. They won't say how many votes are left, even though the law requires it.
But there is little reason for confidence in the outcomes, because Broward has long been a national disgrace. Voting is the hallmark of democracy, and Broward, because of the way it has practiced elections for the last two decades, is the picture of incompetence.
This Florida story starts with hanging chads and butterfly ballots and a Supreme Court ruling stopping a recount and ending the presidential election between then-Texas Governor George W. Bush and then-Vice President Al Gore. Heavily Democratic then, as it is now, Broward was 1 of 4 counties where the Gore campaign requested a hand recount of disputed ballots.
The iconic picture of Judge Robert Rosenberg intently studying a punch-card ballot through a magnifying glass defined the fiasco. It unsurprisingly came from Broward. This mess would continue for more than a month, until the Supreme Court mercifully ended it with its decision in Bush v. Gore.
And that episode, which plagued more than just Broward, seems tame compared to what kept coming next. Miriam Oliphant, the City Link paper would note at the time, was “a rising political star” when she was elected Broward County Supervisor of Elections in 2001. Two years later, Oliphant would be walked off of government property by sheriff’s deputies.
Oliphant looked like a reformer at first, the kind of elected official needed to save Broward from more national humiliation. She cleaned house firing staff and setting new standards. Then, she ran over budget by almost a million dollars, placed cronies in key positions, and even hired Glen Davis, a perpetually drunk homeless man, to work the mailroom ahead of the 2002 primaries.
“Davis was the guy,” Art Levine of City Link wrote, “who didn’t open and time-stamp nearly 300 absentee ballots amid a crush of mail related to the September 2002 election; the ballots were later found buried in a filing cabinet. Considered too unsteady to drive to the post office and often absent, he was occasionally reprimanded but never fired.”
Davis could not be fired, a government employee later explained during legal deposition, because of his friendship with Oliphant. He was considered “untouchable.”
Oliphant’s overspending eventually had a direct effect on the election and ended her career. During the 2003 municipal elections, Broward didn’t have enough money to pay poll workers or update voter rolls. The result? As the Sun Sentinel reported at the time, the U.S. Postal Service returned 17,245 of the 100,000 ballots mailed out because they went to the wrong addresses.
"We've been saying it for a long time that the rolls need to be cleaned up, but no one has been listening," County Commissioner Lori Parrish said of Oliphant. "When it comes to this supervisor, I have no faith in what happens."
Then-Gov. Jeb Bush agreed and suspended Oliphant shortly afterward for “grave neglect, mismanagement and incompetence.” The Republican appointed Brenda Snipes to become a county supervisor who would clean up Broward.
That didn't work.
The next disaster came during the 2004 presidential election, and all to the detriment of the Democratic candidate, Sen. John Kerry. Snipes botched the election worse than her predecessor, reporting that 58,000 absentees ballots had been lost in the mail. She later lowered that number to 6,000.
To fix her own mistake, Snipes had 5,600 replacement absentee ballots mailed ahead of the election. As the Washington Post reported at the time, the ballots were dropped off late Saturday evening. According to a spokesman for the Postal Service, by that time, the mail carriers were gone.
"There's no way in hell those people are going to get their ballots in a timely fashion," Gerry McKiernan, the spokesman, told the Post. "They should get their act together over there.”
With Snipes in charge, they never did. In fact, the election supervisor ended up in court for illegally destroying ballots in the 2016 race between Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and her primary challenger, Tim Canova. State law requires the elections office to preserve ballots in a federal election for 22 months. Snipes destroyed the paper ballots after 12 months while, as the Sun Sentinel notes, they "were still the subject of a pending lawsuit."
Dodging responsibility in court this May, Snipes appeared to blame her staff. “When I sign, I sign folders filled with information,” Snipes said during testimony, later adding, as the Sun Sentinel reported at the time: “I trust my staff. They have the responsibility of giving me information that’s correct.”
Now Broward finds itself in the middle of another controversy, with either a hapless or corrupt elections supervisor at the wheel. They find themselves in exactly the situation the editorial board of the Sun Sentinel predicted in June when they editorialized that Snipes credibility was "past the tipping point" and called on her not to seek another term.
Snipes didn't listen, and now Snipes won’t say how long it will take her to count the remaining ballots in the current races. She won’t even say how many ballots there are left to be counted, even though it is her regulatory obligation. The result is embarrassingly Kafkaesque. Again and again, local reporters shout questions. Again and again, Snipes demurs. She says she is too busy. She says she is going “to take a break.”
Meanwhile, Broward County remains a perennial disgrace.
Dick Morris: 40% of Election Polls Were Wrong
Rob Crandall / ShutterstockVoters at polls. (Rob Crandall / Shutterstock)By Dick Morris
The polling in the 2018 election was terrible. Four out of ten polls in the hotly contested Senate and governor races that played out throughout the country were wrong (predicted the wrong winner).
And 60 percent got the final numbers were wrong by three points or more (even if they picked the right winner).
A more or less 50/50 verdict on their accuracy makes the surveys, according to the law of chance, about as likely as random selection to pick the winner.
Now that the ballots are all cast — and mostly counted — it’s time to assess which polling firms had it right and which wrong. We can also figure out which had the most pronounced Democratic bias and which were more Republican in their skew.
Overall, there were 40 final polls taken in the key statewide races around the country. Thirty of the 40 showed Democrats doing better than they actually performed. Only 10 showed Republicans doing better.
Of the nine major polling firms, eight showed Democrats doing better than they actually did and only one — Trafalgar — showed Republicans doing better than it turned out.
Overall, the most accurate polling firm was Quinnipiac that, on average, overrated Democratic performance by 2.0 percent. Next came Gavis and Emerson.
The least accurate, and the most biased toward Democrats, was NBC/Marist and, surprisingly, Fox News. NBC overestimated Democratic vote totals by an average of 6.8 percent and FoxNews did so by 5 percent.
Here are the rankings of the polling firms by their accuracy and their partisan bias:
Quinnipiac: Average Error: Pro-Democrat 2.0
Gavis: Average Error: Pro-Democrat 2.5
Trafalgar: Average Error: Pro-Republican 2.7
Emerson: Average Error: Pro-Democrat 2.8
CNN: Average Error: Pro-Democrat 3.0
Harris: Average Error: Pro-Democrat 3.5
CBS: Average Error: Pro-Democrat 4.0
Fox News: Average Error: Pro-Democrat 5.0
NBC/Marist: Average Error: Pro-Democrat 6.8
This list is compiled by comparing the final polls by each company in each race with the actual outcome and then averaging their margin of actual error.
It is time for the pollsters to clean up their act and get it right. That the media who publish these polls do not reprimand or punish their contractors for these inaccurate polls simply enables them to continue to get it wrong.
Why are most of the wrong calls in favor of Democrats? Legitimately, Democratic voter turnout is harder predict than Republican with so many of the variables in harder-to-poll groups like minorities and young people. But, particularly at firms like NBC, the possibility of editorial bias cannot be discounted.
As for why Fox News was almost as pro-Democratic in its bias, it’s hard to guess.
Robert Mueller thought he had Trump dead to rights but then he got this nasty surprise
Robert Mueller thought he was on easy street.
He was running his rigged witch hunt against Donald Trump with no obstacles in sight.
But then everything changed when Mueller got this nasty surprise.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned and President Trump replaced him with chief of staff Matt Whitaker.
Deep State agents and journalists were terrified.
Whitaker blasted Mueller on TV and in print.
He suggested choking off the funding for the investigation as a way to hold Mueller accountable.
Whitaker also authored a CNN op-ed where he declared that Mueller looking into Trump Organization business deals that had nothing to do with the 2016 election was close to a red line that could lead his to his firing.
Whitaker wrote on CNN.com:
I’ve prosecuted several financial crimes at the federal level and I’ve also defended plenty in my private practice. From this unique vantage point, I can understand how a motivated prosecutor, in a broad investigation into the financial affairs of high-profile individuals, can become overzealous toward the targets of such probes — with calamitous results. While no one is above the law, in situations such as this, any seasoned prosecutor must use discretion both judiciously and expertly.
It is time for Rosenstein, who is the acting attorney general for the purposes of this investigation, to order Mueller to limit the scope of his investigation to the four corners of the order appointing him special counsel.
If he doesn’t, then Mueller’s investigation will eventually start to look like a political fishing expedition. This would not only be out of character for a respected figure like Mueller, but also could be damaging to the President of the United States and his family — and by extension, to the country.
Many conservatives celebrated this news.
Whitaker’s appointment could push Mueller to wrap his hoax investigation instead of dragging it on in hopes of dragging the investigation into the 2020 election cycle to try and hurt Trump’s re-election chances.
We will keep you up-to-date on any new developments in this ongoing story.
Pro-Life Movement Celebrates After 2 Big Election Night Wins

Voters in Alabama and West Virginia stood against abortion on Tuesday in two largely symbolic ballot propositions.
Alabama voters passed a pro-life measure by a vote of 59 percent to 41 percent, according to Ballotpedia. The West Virginia vote was closer, with the measure passing 52 percent to 48 percent.
In both states, voters ensured that their state constitutions deny any right to abortion. That will not have a practical effect now, because the Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion supersedes any state measure.
However, if the Roe decision were overturned, as many pro-life advocates hope, the propositions approved Tuesday would be in place to prohibit abortion in those states. President Donald Trump has said he expects a challenge to the Roe decision will arise during his term, but there is no active case before the Supreme Court.
The Alabama legislature had approved its ballot proposition in the spring.
“We want to make sure that at a state level, if Roe v. Wade is overturned, that the Alabama Constitution cannot be used as a mechanism by which to claim that there is a right to abortion,” Republican state Rep. Matt Fridy this summer, according to Fox News.
Alabama’s amendment will “declare and otherwise affirm that it is the public policy of this state to recognize and support the sanctity of unborn life and the rights of unborn children, most importantly the right to life in all manners and measures appropriate and lawful; and…provide that the constitution of this state does not protect the right to abortion or require the funding of abortion,” LifeSite News reported.
“Given the chance to influence abortion policy directly, so far tonight voters have embraced life as West Virginia and Alabama already have weighed in with legal protections,” said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life of America
“In a world after Roe, the voters will finally get to decide what abortion policy they support, and in this election, we saw people getting ready for the day in which Roe becomes a footnote in history,” she said.
When West Virginia lawmakers approved that state’s proposition in the spring, the American Civil Liberties Union promised an all-out battle.
West Virginia’s ACLU called the proposition “the most extreme attack on women’s reproductive rights in West Virginia history.”
“Today, we begin an unprecedented eight-month and one day campaign to educate the public on the extreme implications of this radical amendment,” said Joseph Cohen, executive director, according to the West Virginia Gazette Mail.
Wet Virginia’s proposition also banned Medicaid funding for abortions except in the case of rape, incest and when a mother’s life is in danger.
“I believe that that’s something that people who have conscious objection shouldn’t have to pay for,” said Patricia Puertas Rucker, a Republican state senator a Broward County's election division is a national disgrace. A history by Philip Wegmann

This Florida story starts with hanging chads and butterfly ballots and a Supreme Court ruling stopping a recount and ending the presidential election between then-Texas Governor George W. Bush and then-Vice President Al Gore. Heavily Democratic then, as it is now, Broward was 1 of 4 counties where the Gore campaign requested a hand recount of disputed ballots.
The iconic picture of Judge Robert Rosenberg intently studying a punch-card ballot through a magnifying glass defined the fiasco. It unsurprisingly came from Broward. This mess would continue for more than a month, until the Supreme Court mercifully ended it with its decision in Bush v. Gore.

Miriam Oliphant, the City Link paper would note at the time, was “a rising political star” when she was elected Broward County Supervisor of Elections in 2001. Two years later, Oliphant would be walked off of government property by sheriff’s deputies.
Oliphant looked like a reformer at first, the kind of elected official needed to save Broward from more national humiliation. She cleaned house firing staff and setting new standards. Then, she ran over budget by almost a million dollars, placed cronies in key positions, and even hired Glen Davis, a perpetually drunk homeless man, to work the mailroom ahead of the 2002 primaries.
“Davis was the guy,” Art Levine of City Link wrote, “who didn’t open and time-stamp nearly 300 absentee ballots amid a crush of mail related to the September 2002 election; the ballots were later found buried in a filing cabinet.

Davis could not be fired, a government employee later explained during legal deposition, because of his friendship with Oliphant. He was considered “untouchable.”

Reporter Overhears Top Dem’s Plan To Impeach Kavanaugh, Goes Public
BY BEN MARQUIS
Lev Radin / Shutterstock; CBS News screenshot Democratic Rep. Jerry Nadler reportedly said Democrats will be implementing plans to remove Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. (Lev Radin / Shutterstock; CBS News screenshot)Prior to the midterm elections, there was widespread speculation about what Democrats might do if they regained control of the House of Representatives, with the general consensus being that a plethora of politically-motivated committee investigations would be opened up against President Donald Trump, members of his Cabinet and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Those assumptions have more or less been confirmed by the own words of Democrat New York Rep. Jerry Nadler, who stands poised to assume the chair of the House Judiciary Committee.
Fox News contributor Mollie Hemingway of The Federalist just so happened to be sitting within earshot of Nadler on the Acela train from New York City to Washington D.C. on Wednesday while he chatted on his phone about the election results and plans for the next two years with various callers.
Chief among those plans was a dual-track effort to remove Kavanaugh from the Supreme Court, either through further investigation of the uncorroborated allegations against him or through prosecution for alleged perjury that was said to have occurred during the under oath confirmation hearings.
The first route actually involved investigating the investigators and going after the FBI for how it handled the Kavanaugh allegations. “They didn’t even do a half-ass job,” Nadler said, according to Hemmingway. “They didn’t interview 30 witnesses who said ‘Interview me! I’ve got a lot to say!’”
As to the second route, Nadler said “there’s a real indication that Kavanaugh committed perjury” during his Senate testimony.
The congressman referenced an article from The Atlantic about one of the accusers and said that when Kavanaugh was “asked at a committee hearing under oath when he first heard of the subject, he said, ‘When I’d heard of the Atlantic article.’ But there is an email chain apparently dating from well before that from him about ‘How can we deal with this?’”
Hemingway explained that Nadler was referencing a since-debunked claim against Kavanaugh that came from conflicting reports about what he knew of his accusers and when he knew it, and even Nadler himself seemed to concede that ousting Kavanaugh from the Supreme Court over alleged perjury was a long-shot that may not even bring the desired political results to Democrats.
Specifically, Nadler told the caller, “The worst-case scenario — or best case depending on your point of view — you prove he committed perjury, about a terrible subject and the Judicial Conference recommends you impeach him. So the president appoints someone just as bad.”
Hemmingway said Nadler also rejected a suggestion that the committee conduct an investigation of Kavanaugh quietly, as he said, “You can’t do it quietly because word will get out that the FBI or the committee is reaching out to witnesses.”
Nor could the committee drag out an investigation and impeachment of Kavanaugh until after the 2020 presidential election in the hope that Democrat would win and replace him. According to Hemmingway, Nadler said of Kavanaugh — in comparison to an unsubstantiated conspiracy theory against Trump — “There are a finite amount of witnesses. I don’t see why it should take long at all. We’re not talking about a 30-year scheme of getting money from Russians via hidden sources — that takes time.”
Speaking of Trump, Hemmingway also said Nadler told one caller that his committee would be “all in” on an impeachment effort against the president that would be branded and framed in a more public-friendly way of holding the president “accountable,” though he admitted the committee’s efforts would be “depending on what (special counsel Robert) Mueller finds.”
Nevertheless, Nadler was adamant that his committee “will have a role” — albeit a supporting one — in the Rep. Adam Schiff-led Intelligence Committee’s Trump/Russia investigations, which have essentially been ongoing since shortly after Trump first took office.
Hemmingway claims Nadler also discussed the prospective Democratic presidential candidates for 2020 with some callers, and worried that presumed front-runner and former Vice President Joe Biden would be hurt by the efforts at impeaching Kavanaugh, as Biden’s own role in the Clarence Thomas confirmation hearings could come back to bite him.
Nadler also reportedly lamented that too many of the other prospective candidates were “too conservative” or “too conservative on economic issues for the party” or “not charismatic” enough for his liking.
Hemmingway said Nadler further expressed his disappointment with how well the economy was doing and how the booming economy had helped Republicans do better than expected Tuesday night. He also took issue with the recruitment of NeverTrumper moderates and “Rockefeller Republicans” to the Democratic Party, as they were generally rich elitists whose presence would contradict the party’s efforts to portray itself as the party of the working class.
The resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions was announced after the train ride was over, but Hemingway noted in her piece that Nadler had taken to social media to address the sudden change and seemed to indicate that his committee would be investigating the “reasoning” behind Trump’s decision to get rid of Sessions … even though Nadler had been demanding Sessions’ resignation just last year.
Though these overheard quotes are just the words of one Democrat congressman — albeit a rather prominent one in charge of a powerful committee — they do seem to suggest that, as usual, Democrats will go full force against Trump and everyone associated with him.
Also as usual, they will most likely overplay their hand — just like with Kavanaugh’s confirmation — and only serve to ensure Trump’s re-election in 2020, and possibly even a Republican takeover of the House in response as well.
In the aftermath of the horrific mass shooting at a synagogue in Pittsburgh last month, the political left jumped on a soapbox to decry a rise in anti-Semitic violence that they attributed to the rhetoric of President Donald Trump.
However, the proclaimed compassion and empathy for Jews targeted and persecuted by those who hate them was quite short-lived and rather shallow. It was quickly pushed to the side when it gained little traction. Not only that, but a continued focus on anti-Semitism may very well have had negative consequences for a few Democratic candidates in the midterm elections.
One of those candidates was Rashida Tlaib, a Palestinian-American who was just elected to Congress to represent Michigan’s 13th District, which includes parts of Detroit and some of the surrounding suburbs. Tlaib’s victory was heralded by the liberal media as a historic moment, as she is one of the two first Muslim-American women to be elected to Congress.
In the following video documenting part of her celebration after learning of her victory, Tlaib was seen draped in a Palestinian flag and played up her Palestinian roots in her remarks. Note that, despite the election occurring in Detroit, Michigan, USA, there is not a single American flag to be seen.
This is History. Watch every second of this. Rashida Tlaib, the first Palestinian and Muslim American congresswomen, proclaims victory. Share widely, and be inspired. #ElectionNight
The Washington Examiner published an opinion piece Wednesday that despaired at the election of Tlaib, as she was deemed to be as “anti-Semitic” as neo-Nazis and white supremacists due to her open and stated hostility toward the nation of Israel and the Jewish people who populate it.
That piece noted that Tlaib is on record as supporting a “one-state solution” in the Middle East to solve the Israeli-Palestinian problem, a solution that would deny the Jewish people their sovereign right to their own nation.
Further, the Examiner noted that Tlaib has surrounded herself with openly anti-Semitic individuals, such as headlining a rally calling for the “Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions” against Israel in 2014 with a man named Dawud Walid, who has blamed “the Jews” as being responsible for the “wrath of Allah” that they have brought on themselves.
Tlaib is also known to be in the same circles as prominent anti-Semite and leftist Women’s March organizer Linda Sarsour, and has expressed her admiration for a Palestinian woman named Rasmea Odeh who was convicted of a murderous terrorist act.
The Jewish media outlet The Algemeiner dug a little deeper on Tlaib and her “anti-Israel agenda” during the Democratic primary in Michigan in August, and brought to the fore some rather concerning details about her.
That Palestinian woman that Tlaib so admires, Rasmea Odeh, was convicted of murdering two American students in Jerusalem in 1969 in a terrorist bomb attack at a grocery store. She had been sentenced to life in prison in Israel, but had been released in a prisoner exchange after only 10 years. She then migrated to America, only to later be convicted of immigration fraud in 2014 and eventually deported.
Furthermore, Tlaib has also made public her support for Islamic Relief, a group with links to the Muslim Brotherhood that was officially listed as a terrorist organization in 2014 by the government of the United Arab Emirates.
She has also issued sharp criticism toward fellow Democrats — such as California Sen. Kamala Harris — for having the audacity to reach out in cooperation with Israel on a number of issues, even accusing Harris of being “racist” for having met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Tlaib also expressed support for a young Palestinian girl that was temporarily detained earlier in the year for violently assaulting an Israeli soldier. One of her most prominent supporters and fundraisers has called for the virtual extinction of the Israeli state — to be replaced solely by Palestine — and has stated her intention to break with American norms and wear “traditional Palestinian dress” while serving in office after she takes her oath on a Quran.
If Tlaib were merely a progressive leftist in the mold of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders or New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — which she most certainly is — that would be bad enough for the state of Michigan and the nation as a whole.
The fact that she has also expressed anti-Semitic sentiments and pals around with open anti-Semites that wish for the destruction of Israel and the Jewish people only make it that much worse.
