Misconduct by Brenda Snipes is sufficient to place in doubt the result of the 2018 election

Tim Canova, independent candidate in Florida’s 23rd Congressional District, has filed a complaint in Florida Circuit Court to invalidate the results of the 2018 general election and declare that a “new election shall proceed with hand-marked paper ballots that are counted by hand in public and reported immediately and publicly at the local precinct level.” Within days, Canova supplemented the filing with a more detailed amended complaint.

The court filing to the Florida Circuit Court comes barely a year since Snipes unlawfully destroyed hundreds of boxes of all paper ballots cast in Broward County in the 2016 Democratic primary for Florida’s 23rd Congressional district between Canova and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
