snipes, but i know she was appointed by governor jeb bush. republican. >> brenda snipes in broward county is a republican appointed by a former governor then governor jeb bush. so she was put in by a republican governor after the mass that we all remember from 2000. and she's hardly a democratic official. or someone doing the bidding of the democratic candidate there. >> welcome and she is a democrat. listed as democrat. jeb bush tweeted today, there is no question that broward county supervisor of elections brenda snipes failed to comply with florida law undermining floridians confidence in our process. she should be removed after a recount. but the whole thing to paint her as a republican seems... >> i will give that anchor the benefit of the doubt that she was speaking from ignorance or may be tweeting off of democratic talking points. jeb bush put her in position after the catastrophes of 2000 and 2002 had forced his hand, had to get rid of them. did not replace them with a republican operative. i believe she had been a school principal o

republicans are quick to remember that scandal now even if former florida governor jeb bush who appointed brenda snipes wants her out there is no question the broward county supervisor of elections brenda snipes failed to comply with florida law multiple counts supervisors snipes should be removed from her office following the recounts however jeb bush is reputation isn't exactly clean either many of the cues to him of delivering florida for his brother back in two thousand by purging the voter rolls thank you very much. and god bless america so no matter who ends up winning the midterm elections in florida or the two thousand and twenty presidential vote one thing is pretty clear florida may have a very good reputation for weather but it's not so hot when it comes to counting votes kaleb moppet artsy new york early on monday claimed that the election results should be called in favor of the republican candidates rick scott and wrong to scientists claiming that an honest vote count is no longer possible. so they were hoping to swap the boot of odds of powers for the streets of shanghai a

jeb bush's tweet, the guy who appointed brenda snipes to her position and she was related since then -- there has been a long history with her, dating back to 2004 where she failed to send out an absentee ballot to tens of thousands of people. it to marie's point -- there are really no clean hands here in the way these things are being talked about, at least for elections. you had people on the left calling for it back in 2016. you also have this narrative that some how russia is responsible for president trump winning the election for there's no clean hands there. regarding brenda snipes, a judge did find her to be in violation of state and federal law for illegally destroying ballots while she was facing a public records lawsuit over those very ballots. that raises a lot of questions. >> marie: not this year. >> lisa: it was decided this year. it was back to 2016. but in this election alone, she has also been found to be in violation of state law for failing in regard to public records requests, failing to provide this information for rick scott's campaign. to a congressman's point

what jeb bush is saying after the election, it was jeb bush who appointed her to replace the last persond in making sure that elections were counted and that the results were determined without all this problem. she was an emergency pick to replace another person who had problems. and she, too, now the new governor can remove her. he can remove her for cause even before her term in office runs. the idea that florida, which was very close in 2016, that was less than a point for donald trump, we would expect it to be very close again. the idea that we could have a 2020 election hanging on florida with this sort of uncertainty. we've already seen the allegations out there. we've seen what has gone on. there are unhappy possibilities when you talk about an incumbent who said he wouldn't be willing to accept the outcome of an election. >> sandra: the sun sentinel newspaper compiled snipes history of election troubles and went on to detail broke federal law when posting 2016 primary election results online before polls closed. goes on to other details including 1,000 uncounted ballots discover

. >> i want to bring in michael steele, former senior advisor to jeb bush and a former aide to house speaker boehner, who joins our democratic party chairs. thanks to everyone now. let me start there with you, michael. is it a sign of weakness that donald trump's closing argument is so reliant on blatant lies that i don't think you or boehner, certainly not jeb bush, would agree with? >> well, donald trump's appeal has always rested in large part on falsehoods that he tells. i c i think what you're seeing right now is a fired up democratic party, a base motivated by their hatred of the president, desired to check his power, and an attempt by the president, by any means necessary, to fire up the republican base, to anger and alarm them to get them to their polling places to counter the energy on the democratic side. and i think he may in some measures be successful in that regard. we usually see either a kind of status quo midterm, or a midterm where all the energy, all the passion is on one side. right now we're looking at both bases in both parties fired up and ready to go. >> ed? >

failed to meet deadlines and have had numerous problems and that's why you have people like governor jeb bush for snipes' removal. it's important to note that it was governor bush in 2003 that removed snipes' predecessor who was in violation of failing to make deadlines. he appointed snipes as a solution to the problem. she now apparently is becoming the problem. steve: griff, thank you very much. by the way, i was looking in the palm beach post and according to coverage this morning, the board of supervisors there, after yesterday's saying we can't make it, now they feel they can make it regarding the senate race. however it, looks as if they probably will miss the deadline, which is thursday at 3:00 with the ag commissioner and the governor races. brian: governor race 36,000 vote difference. we have never even had -- 14,000 with the senate race. 36,000 with the desantis and gillum. we have never had somebody in a recount make up for thousands of votes. i remember with the bush situation it's hundreds with norm coleman and al franken it's hundreds. this is a bridge too far if history is any

. >> reporter: the shocking tweet from jeb bush, the man who puts lights in office tweeting no question broward county supervisor of elections brenda snipes failed to comply with florida law on multiple counts undermining floridians confidence in our electoral process. supervisor snipes should be removed from her office following the recounts. meanwhile the rhetoric and jabs between senator nelson and governor rick scott continue, senator nelson taking to youtube to say this. >> using his power as governor to try to undermine the voting process. scott cannot oversee this process in a fair and impartial way. and thus, he should remove himself from any role in the recount process. >> reporter: governor scott, traveling to washington this week, firing back on martha last night. >> bill nelson is always confused. the governor does not is not responsible for recounts. my goal is the we follow the law. snipes mixed illegal ballots with legal ballots. they have not let party officials in. the courts have said follow the law. >> reporter: finally we asked snipes if she was concerned she would n

but this woman was appointed by jeb bush. she was appointed by a republican.'s talk about dade county after the governor said it wasn't to be aloud, allowed people to vote by email. trish: there has been a desire to see some of these illegal immigrants' votes dmowntd that process. >> i don't think that's what's going on here. trish: i want ford's analysis of that. >> over the weekend we saw a situation where the gillum and nelson campaigns were happy to have at least 22 non-citizen votes counted. something else the democrats are misleading, including a lot of news networks. the broward county election supervisor was elected by the voters of broward county. the reason she keeps getting elected is because it's a democratic stronghold. she is the marion barry of broward county. >> if broward county and palm beach county are current the way they should be, he'll lose. >> all 67 will be counted in the automatic recount. the deadline is due on thursday. at the end of the day it's about the fox guarding the hen house and the fox not following the law. i want to make

that was jeb bush. jeb bush tweeted that what the president did today was wrong. answered a heck of a lot of questions. >> he was cranky. trish: what was he cranky about? >> he lost the house. trish: everybody thought they would lose it. they lost his man you guys thought. we got suckered into take the house off your hands. trish: not my hands. for the country. i would like to see the country aligned so they can get some policy done. >> the guy can't handle oversight by press and media. you saw that today. >> their agenda is to continue obstructing the president with anything he does to investigate, look into his finances, his taxes, impeach, subpoenas. so that's their agenda. >> the american people disagree with you. trish: there is a videos of attempting to intimidate and filibuster with the microphone. straight ahead, migrants march toward our southern border. militia organizer shannon mcgully is still recruiting. with the dems in charge of the house, he's taking no chances. he'll join us exclusively with he'll join us exclusively with hiyour mornings were made

we are nowhere near that level but with respect to what jeb bush said this is a question of trust and the level of incompetence we have seen, violations of law, lack of transparency, lack of reporting updates and everything it is a wonder people get suspicious about what happens in broward. why are they always last election night. it is reminiscent of all the times counties used to wait until end of the night and then figure out how many votes they needed to win the election. that will erode trust in the system and brenda snipes is on her best to erode that trust, that public trust is totally broken. >> in florida under florida law the vote by mail or absentee ballots must be accounted for within 30 minutes of foreclosing, that was last tuesday, then the department of state if there are ongoing problems with speaking reports every 45 minutes until all the results are filed, those things have not been happening across the board. molly hemingway writes the headline florida vote scandal coverage shows democrat complicity, it is without question lawful processes were not followed. to say

rick scott and jeb bush, who today, acknowledged as much. >> yeah, no running away from that but theyal is caucasian to look like they were interfering in a democrat county but it smacked them in the state base. brenda's nights actually left the ballot question off the ballot. process what i just told you. she actually left the ballot question off the ballot. call me crazy but that defeats the purpose of the ballot. lou: or an election for that matter. >> you show up to vote on an issue and you like not there. what happens. brenda left it off. yes, you're right she should of been removed but the secretary of state if there's any issues needs to take receivership and brenda sipes has got to be removed. it is simply a grotesque intelligence. lou: you know what i think? i would take the oberon on her being allowed to stay in her job a while. this is too much - >> brother, sally with what is going on in politics now i sadly i am with you. if i am a betting man, you are right. ron desantis when he gets in there we may have reached a political event horizon. okay, enough's enough. lou: ron

let's go back to you because brenda snipes has spoken out and said this after all the questions, jeb bush tweeted today saying she should step aside in broward county. let's watch. >> the character over a period of time, always going to come into play. i've worked here for about 15 years. i have to say, this is the first time that i have been attacked. if we make mistakes, we own those mistakes. >> laura: this is the first time we have ever heard a complaint about brenda snipes? okay? president obama is going to run for senate as a conservative in some state. the craziness! >> i was there today when she said that. i think she's sincere in what she says and she truly believes it, but the fact remains that it seems incredibly ad hoc, the form of process and procedure. if there are, they do not seem to be followed. when you have that, you are naturally going to have the chaos and the resulting confusion, basically a sense of crisis in our election system. >> laura: conventional wisdom is that she's done, snipes is done. scott and desantis, presuming they hold onto their slim leads, they are

jeb bush hired her and her spotty record went all the way -- he could've replaced her with someone elseexasperated with this. i put it on rick scott. he's the governor of florida. >> bret: this is on the georgia race. this is hillary clinton and sherrod brown. >> i know stacy well. she's one of my strong surrogates in the campaign. if she had a fair election, she already would've won. >> if stacy abrams doesn't win in georgia, they stole it. it's clear. i say that publicly. it's clear. >> bret: they say it's clear for the race in georgia for governor, the separation is 54,966 votes. when anyone mentions any irregularities, anything possibly considering possible fraud or any problems, it is suddenly, you are undermining the system. yet when these two high-profile democrats say it about georgia, it's somehow okay? >> as we've seen with headlines about people talking about the florida issues and broward county history, there is no evidence to prove there is any fraud going on in georgia. there is a load of evidence to show that the law has not been followed -- >> bret: or at least irregula

supervisor snipes should be removed from her office following the recount," says jeb bush. snipes caught adding nearly two dozen in valid ballots to a of valid ballots. corresponded doug mckelway has the back story from tallahassee tonight. hi, doug. >> hi, martha. brenda snipes picked by a republican to replace a supervisor of elections deemed incompetent. others say snipers are better. her first year on the job, she falsely accused the u.s. postal service of losing 58,000 ballots, later admitting only 6,000 were missing. saturday of the election, her staff jumped up 2400 absentee ballots -- in the 2016 democratic primary race, congressman snipes had destroyed them prematurely, failing to for preserve them for the 22 months- also some election results posted on the election supervisor's website while the polls were still open yet another violation of state law. as for the lawsuits that the scott campaign has filed against her, here's what you said about those this afternoon. >> i think the lawsuits as they are written certainly appears to disparage my character. i've worke

>> she was fired by jeb bush in 2003 after she was appointed. this is not surprising.hat is important to point out. you might know "the new york times," the thing that moves around election night, drives everybody crazy, based on how many expected votes are left in a particular county. they thought rick scott's margin over bill nelson would drop considerably because based on historical trends, they thought they were a lot of votes left in broward county. the fact that bill nelson's disadvantage, his deficit keeps dropping and rick scott's lead keeps dropping, that's not a surprise. that's what happens a in fact should have been expected to happen. not a conspiracy theory. >> a couple things, david. are we heading for a legal battle of 2000, hanging chad da mentions? >> i think it's possible. look, mark laid it out pretty well. you have on the one side, you have a democratic leaning county broward with an elections official who is known to be slow, perhaps even incompetent. that then draws that scrutiny. on the other side, you have a situation where governor scott, the

snipes about jeb bush's tweets. here's what she had to say. >> yes, i did hear about it. i don't tweet. i did read it. i did receive the information from several people. many of them were concerned that that statement was made. however, it's an opinion. >> reporter: now, on that hand recount, if after thursday the recount is under that .25%, it will be back to 2000 because you will have more than 100 tables set up with multiple representatives from democrat, republican and county staff at each table. julie? >> we'll talk about whether the recounts really change the outcome. history says no. griff jenkins, thank you very much. trial of one of the world's most notorious drug lords happening here in new york city. but there's a delay. we'll tell you why. >>> but first, california wild fires claiming more lives and homes. what are you seeing where you are, jonathan? >> reporter: julie, more fire flare-ups in southern california this morning show that danger is not over yet, as anxious residents wait to get back to their homes. we'll show you the heart breaking scenes that awa

jeb bush did that back in 2003, i think it was, over incompetence. that's how brenda snipes got her job. what's the story there? >> well, i think it's not probably -- it's fair to say it's not maybe incompetence. it's clearly incompetence and it's happened over and over again. that's a question that jeb bush actually appointed her, like you said, but she's been re-elected several times. facing all kinds of criticism. you're absolutely right. rick scott could have removed her from office. now, it certainly would be extremely awkward for him to do it in the middle of this, but he's got to answer that question, and so far, he's not been willing to. >> and adam, even to that point, he was asked on fox news this morning this question. and he didn't have an answer to it. he just says she's been re-elected. and she's elected on the local level. he did not answer this question, which i find fascinating, adam. >> well, if you know our governor, he's pretty good at not answering questions over and over again, which maybe is a skill, but i think it's hard to sa

yeb bush h jeb bush has tweeted about this. so has marco rubio. >> you know, in close elections of this time, this type of rhetoric in my experience is not unusual. i've represented republicans and democrats, winners and losers and unfortunately it's part of the program. but the reality is that every candidate in a close election turns to his lawyer and says do i have a chance at winning this in court. maybe there's somexes but i haven't seen them. and the other side is always saying he's trying to steal the election. but fortunately we have a very stable electoral system in this state and this country we can be proud of, and the way we resolve these things is in the courtroom not in the streets. so this is normal democratic process that we're following. >> well, let's play a sound bite from the courtroom. here's the florida chief circuit judge jack tudor telling lawyers in the case, the gillum-desantis case to tamp down their rhetoric. >> i'm urging because of the hard public nature of this case to ramp down the rhetoric. ever

jeb bush then put brenda snipes in and a variety of problems have cropped up since.f she winds up getting removed from office which i think could be an increasing possibility in the coming weeks or months, you do expect that if that office is not completely cleaned out of a lot of the workers there that are ultimately responsible for a lot of these elections, meltdowns, problems and controversies, we're probably going to see the same thing again here in a coming election in the future. >> all right. thank you, mark. david, harry. i appreciate your time. a lot more on rick scott's allegations of what he calls rampant fraud in florida's senate race. is he using his power as governor to his advantage? ron! soh really? going on at schwab. thank you clients? well jd power did just rank them highest in investor satisfaction with full service brokerage firms...again. and online equity trades are only $4.95... i mean you can't have low cost and be full service. it's impossible. it's like having your cake and eating it too. ask your broker if they offer award-winning full ser

. >> shannon: so the man, when he was governor appointed her at that spot, jeb bush not speaking out today in a tweet saying there's no question the broward county supervisor of elections brenda snipes failed to comply with florida law on multiple counts undermining floridians confidence in our electoral process. supervisor snipes should be removed from her office following the recount. ed, your reactions? >> first of all this is not 2000. at that race was settled by 535 votes. now you've got ron desantis up by some 34,000 and rick scott up by 12 and a half thousand. were not really anywhere near that level but with respect to what jeb bush said, this is a question of trust and the level of incompetence that we've seen, the violations of law, the lack of transparency, the lack of reporting updates and everything, it's a wonder why people get suspicious about what happens in broward. why are they always left on election night? it is very reminiscent of an old time when the counties used to wait for the end of the night and then figure out how many votes they needed to win the election

supposed to check in with me. >> i'm sorry. >> brian: who is this woman. >> she was appointed by jeb bush2003. she is a democrat and elected ever since to the position of the supervisor of elections for broward county. broward county is the second most populist county in the state. it is also the most democrat as well and it's not just republicans who have been critical of her either. the miami herald called broward county the most controversial department of elections in florida. so she has also received wide criticism from all around. really dating back to even 2004 where she failed to send out i think it was something like over 50,000 absentee ballots from individuals had requested them. also just look at what happened in this year alone. a judge just ruled that she was in violation of public record laws from florida for not fulfilling rick scott's campaign's request. you also go back to may. and a federal judge found she was in violation of both state and federal law for illegally destroying a ballots in regard to a 2016 primary between debbie wasserman schultz and a bernie sanders su
