Protesters gather outside Broward Board of Elections Headquarters'It's election theft,' one protester says regarding possible race recounts

BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. - Protesters were demonstrating Friday morning outside the Broward Board of Elections headquarters in Lauderhill.
"It's election theft," one protester, Janet Klomburg, said. "Our level of frustration is beyond what you can even imagine."
"This is insane. All of this is insane," Klomburg said. "It needs to be stopped. All of it needs to be stopped. I call for firing Brenda Snipes, getting rid of her whole crew and doing the election over without her being a part of it."
The protesters are upset that Republican Senate candidate Rick Scott and Republican gubernatorial candidate Ron DeSantis' victories are now in question.

Nothing to worry about, as Republicans deny Climate-change. Or, perhaps these trouble-makers are from other states.

They have the right to protest but not do harm. Now 45 and Scott and Kemp and all those people-they can do harm.
