Missteps in building Broward elections office could hinder 2008 elections
By Buddy Nevins and Scott Wyman
Staff Writers
Posted October 12 2005


Broward County commissioners, whose deal to build a $45 million elections and property appraisers office collapsed, will be warned this week that their missteps have threatened the smooth running of the 2008 election.

Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes said she would tell commissioners in a series of private meetings that she needs a new headquarters now.

If they don't act promptly, Snipes predicted that voters may end up the innocent victims of the commission's failed plan to build a sprawling government complex on a political insider's land.

"This has dragged on and on. If something isn't done soon to start building, our ability to pull off a good election will be jeopardized," Snipes said.

1. What kind of blackmail crap is this?
Broward always had successful elections without being in stupid $45 million building. What is your view Freddie?

4. Do we need to ask Chavez to send poll watchers?
Should the UN run elections in Florida?

Do I hear the sounds of another stolen election, and the shifting of blame to Nader?
