The Florida Senate will not take action on Broward County's embattled supervisor of elections Brenda Snipes after her suspension last month, determining that her resignation is unconditional, Senate President Bill Galvano said in a memo to members Thursday morning.

Snipes had initially planned to step down Jan. 4, announcing her decision after the November midterm elections that resulted in three statewide recounts plagued with issues in Broward. But after Gov. Rick Scott suspended her late last month, citing "misfeasance, incompetence and neglect of duty," Snipes said she was rescinding her decision to step down.

The upper chamber of the Legislature has the authority to remove an official from office or reinstate them under the state's constitution. But the upper chamber's general counsel, in a memo to Galvano, determined that Snipes tried to take back her decision too late and that her resignation is permanent.
