GOP protesters chant ‘lock her up’ about Florida county election chief
Republican protestors outside the Broward County Board of Elections office on Friday chanted “lock her up” in reference to Brenda Snipes, the county’s supervisor of elections.
Protestors are enraged at Snipes, claiming that she is corrupt, according to Miami Herald reporter Alex Harris.

...........President Trump weighed in on Twitter, saying “law enforcement is looking into another big corruption scandal having to do with Election Fraud.”
"If you look at Broward County, they have had a horrible history," Trump said Friday. "And if you look at the person, in this case a woman, involved, she has had a horrible history, and all of the sudden they’re finding votes out of nowhere and Rick Scott, who won, you know it was close, who won by a comfortable margin, every couple of hours it goes down by a little bit.” ...................

Was listening to Maddow--or maybe it was Lawrence who a guest on-a lawyer familiar with Florida elections. Anyway, he said NOTHING about 'fraud' was being claimed in the court lawsuits so far. Only outside agitators--including gov Scott and Trump are stirring up and agitating the base--leading to these protests.

Protesters swarm Broward County’s elections headquarters amid unproven fraud claims

Fueled by Trump tweets and unfounded claims of voter fraud, dozens of protesters gathered outside the Broward County elections headquarters Friday in a rowdy scene that led staff to call police for protection.
A crowd of about 100 activists organized outside the Lauderhill strip mall that houses Brenda Snipes’ elections operations off U.S. 441, railing about illegal votes and stolen elections. They were drawn to Snipes’ office by the claims of politicians and pundits that thousands of fraudulent ballots are being dumped into the vote tallies from Tuesday’s midterm elections in order to steal races from Gov. Rick Scott and former Congressman Ron DeSantis.
Margins in races for the U.S. Senate and governor shrank over the past two days as Snipes and other supervisors in Democratic-leaning counties tallied the tens of thousands of votes that remain uncounted in the wake of Tuesday’s elections. Alarmed by unproven claims that elections supervisors are tainting the electoral process, a hastily organized protest was pulled together on social media. Janet Klomburg, a 56-year-old from Weston, was among the crowd demanding Snipes’ removal from office.
“We want her in handcuffs for her criminal history. We want her whole staff in handcuffs,” Klomburg said. “This race was stolen from us.”.
Wearing a Make America Great Again hat and Trump 2020 polo, Klomburg straightened a pile of fake ballot boxes that protesters had arranged nearby. Before noon, the crowd swelled to more than a hundred protesters chanting “Lock her up,” “Brenda Snipes has got to go,” and “Stop the steal.”...................................................
