«Breaking News» South Florida elections official says her office has misplaced more than TWO THOUSAND ballots

A South Florida elections official says that her office has misplaced more than 2,000 ballots.

Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes said that 2,040 ballots had been 'misfiled,' in a video posted by The South Florida Sun-Sentinel on Saturday. 

'We have been trying to determine what could have caused the drop. What we believe is that in the recount area ... I believe those ballots were probably mixed in with another stack,' Snipes told the elections Canvassing Board at midday.

'The ballots are in the building. The ballots are in this building. There would be nowhere else for them to be. But they are misfiled in this building.' 

State officials ordered a manual recount on Thursday after a machine recount showed less votes in the county than the total number of votes reported to the state on November 10.

Broward County has historically been a Democratic stronghold, but the machine recount on Thursday had Republican Gov. Rick Scott leading incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson by about 12,600 votes for one of the state's US Senate seats. 

Counties across the state are in the middle of a hand recount for the statewide race.

Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes explains to the canvassing board the discrepancy in vote counts during the hand count at the Broward County Supervisor of Elections office in Lauderhill, Fla., on Saturday,

Larry Davis, a Democratic attorney who is representing agriculture commissioner candidate Nikki Fried, took the elections supervisor to task over the missing ballots.

'Dr. Snipes, with all due respect to you and your office, the ballots being in the building doesn’t get them counted,' Davis said.

Snipes said that she believed the totals reported to the state on November 10 were accurate, but that some ballots were misfiled before the machine recount, causing them not to be run through the machines.

She said she'd like to send the original vote totals to the state at noon on Sunday, which is the deadline to report official results to the Department of State.

Snipes has already been under fire for the way her office has handled the election and recount.

'I’m not blaming anyone, but many of our team members were not as well trained as some others,' Snipes said on Saturday. 

Her latest troubles comes as officials say at least 44 out of 67 Florida counties have finished their hand recount in the Senate race.

Several counties have posted hand recount updates on their websites. 

The totals for Nelson and Scott have changed slightly, but not significantly.

More than 8 million voters cast ballots in the race.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
