Florida elections supervisor who was vilified by Republicans resigns. She blames Rick Scott and his racist allies for her resignation. |
They played upon the fears of a Black leader.
They claimed that immigrants are scary Brown people.
Republicans gerrymandered Florida to favor them regardless of the popular vote.
GUN VIOLENCE WILL GET WORSE IN FLORIDA. MORE IDIOTS WILL KILL PEOPLE OF COLOR CLAIMING THEIR LIVES WERE IN DANGER. MORE WHITE TERRORISTS WILL ENGAGE IN MASS SHOOTINGS. MORE REPUBLICANS WILL NOW BE ENABLED TO BE OPENLY RACIST. IF DONALD J. TRUMP, MIKE PENCE, RON DESANTIS AND RICK SCOTT CAN GET AWAY WITH IT, WHY NOT THE NEXT WAVE?
The woman at the center of a controversy in the highly contentious Florida governor and U.S. Senate race resigns citing racism and death threats made towards her. She claims that Scott and his allies created a situation to distract Floridians from the real issue of voter suppression.
Sen-elect Scott and Gov-elect DeSantis both won on dirty politics. They clearly knew how to win the Florida election. Even though former Democratic nominee Andrew Gillum won the popular vote, DeSantis had the districts in his favor. Scott also played upon being currently the governor and chief investigator into voting matters to take the seat away from Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL).
Gerrymandered districts favored the former Republican congressman and Florida governor.
Both Republican candidates were extremely unpopular and yet they won.
Now the Broward County supervisor of elections Brenda Snipes is stepping down. She is frustrated that the Republicans and Fox News created a dangerous environment for her and workers.
Three white men played upon the fears of a Black leader. |
When asked about why she planned on resigning, she somewhat cited the toxic environment.
"Well, I haven't finalized that. I'll just check with my family. They'll tell me what I'm doing," she said.
Republicans made her a scapegoat in the Florida race. Broward and West Palm Beach County are Democratic-leaning counties. Republicans claim that the ballots were rigged to favor Gillum and Nelson. They were trying to claim that Snipes squarely delayed the appointment of Rick Scott and Ron DeSantis.
Former governor Jeb Bush who appointed Snipes called for her resignation.
This is a trial run for what we're expecting in 2020. With Florida and Ohio remaining in Republican hands, they can sway the election to Trump.
They will start purging again voters. Especially people of color.
Snipes who is an African American woman was subjected to racist comments, death threats and attacks on her character.
Gillum and Nelson conceded over the weekend. They believe Florida needs reform on voting.
