SNIPES SNAPS! Rescinds Resignation, Vows to Fight Governor Scott’s Suspension
Things are heating up in Broward County after Brenda Snipes rescinded her resignation Saturday and vowed to fight her suspension.
Governor and Senator-elect Rick Scott SUSPENDED Broward County Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes on Friday night and replaced her with Peter Antonacci.
Snipes is set to receive $71,000 a year in a pension from her time serving as elections supervisor; she also has a separate pension from her time as a teacher.
Rick Scott issued an order to immediately remove crooked Brenda Snipes from office “for misfeasance, incompetence and neglect of duty.”
Snipes isn’t going away quietly.
NBC Miami reported:
Brenda Snipes’ attorney on Saturday said the recently suspended Broward County elections supervisor would rescind her resignation.
“We believe these actions are malicious, we believe that the allegations that are set forth in the governor’s executive order are done for the purposes of embarrassing Dr. Snipes – embarrassing her and tarnishing her record, and we will be fighting this. In addition to that, Dr. Snipes herby rescinds her resignation that was set forth which would have been effective on the fourth of January,” Snipes’ attorney Burnadette Norris-Weeks said in a press conference.
Brenda Snipes has a history of corruption and violating the law.
In this year’s midterm election, Broward County Democrats mysteriously manufactured 83,000 votes in two days!
On Election night on November 6th, Broward County Elections supervisor Brenda Snipes reported 634,000 votes were cast in the midterm election in her county.
On Friday morning Broward County Elections officials said 717,000 votes were cast in the midterm election in her county.
We still have no explanation for how Snipes came up with all of these extra votes – which were all in favor for the Democrats.

Jay Z seeks to halt arbitration citing racial bias
The dispute stems from the rapper’s 2007 sale of his clothing brand Rocawear to Iconix
Jay Z sued to halt his private arbitration with clothing company Iconix Brand Group Inc, saying the company’s inability to find an African-American arbitrator to hear the trademark dispute was unfair.
The multimillionaire rapper said in a petition filed in Manhattan Supreme Court that the lack of racial diversity among arbitrators at the American Arbitration Association (AAA) was discriminatory under New York’s state constitution and a New York City human rights law.
The dispute is the latest in a series of legal wranglings arising from Jay Z’s 2007 sale of his Rocawear clothing brand to Iconix for about $204 million. Iconix has since written off almost the entire value of the brand, and in 2017 sued Jay Z in Manhattan federal court over trademark rights. That case remains pending.
In 2015, Jay Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, and Iconix settled some disputes, and agreed to address future claims in private arbitration, according to Jay Z’s petition.
Last month, Iconix accused Jay Z of breaching the 2015 settlement and demanded an AAA arbitration.
But Jay Z said the AAA found only three potential African-American arbitrators, out of the hundreds it uses, for his case, and one already represented Iconix in related litigation.
He argued that the lack of “more than a token number of African-Americans” made the arbitration contract void.
“It would stand to reason that prospective litigants — which undoubtedly include minority owned and operated businesses - expect there to be the possibility that the person who stands in the shoes of both judge and jury reflects the diverse population,” the petition said.
Jay Z, 48, is famous for songs including Hard Knock Life and 99 Problems. The Brooklyn native has won 21 Grammy Awards, most recently in 2015 for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance for “Drunk in Love” with his wife, pop star Beyonce.
In May, a federal judge ordered him to respond to a US Securities and Exchange Commission subpoena related to the Rocawear sale.
The SEC said it was looking in to writedowns by Iconix, and wanted to ask JayZ about his personal involvement with the brand.
