Judge Denies Scott’s Request to Impound Broward Voting Equipment

Posted: 12 Nov 2018 01:57 PM PST

Judge Denies Scott's Request to Impound Broward Voting EquipmentA judge on Monday denied Florida Republican Senate nominee Rick Scott's request that voting equipment in Broward County be impounded for security when not in use, proposing instead that three armed deputies be assigned to increase security at Broward election headquarters. During an emergency hearing in the lawsuit brought Sunday by Scott's campaign, his lawyers asked Judge Jack Tuter to impound ballots and machines in Broward County, citing concerns about Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes's handling of the count, given her past convictions for violating elections law and her office's failures to report vote counts since last Tuesday's election. Take away the concerns of the citizens, take away the concerns of the public that this election process will be protected," said Scott attorney Jason Zimmerman.
