Just hours after finishing a tumultuous election recount, Broward Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes submitted her resignation, ending a 15-year tenure full of botched elections, legal disputes and blistering criticism.
It is true. She did send it, said Burnadette Norris-Weeks, an attorney who works as counsel to the Supervisor of Elections Office.
Evelyn Perez-Verdia, a former office spokeswoman who left several years ago, said Sunday evening she was told by people in the office that the letter was sent to Tallahassee earlier in the day.
Norris-Weeks said she saw an early draft of the letter. In the version she saw, she said Snipes, 75, expressed a desire to spend more time with her family.

She asked for money for upgrades to her equipment for years. Each time it was denied from pRick Scott and the Repukes in the House. Susan Bucher did what she could with the garbage she was given.

Her family probably doesn't trust her to order a pizza.

It's shameful they kept electing her even after her years of scandals and incompetence.

Odd that she kept getting re-elected in spite of that.
