VIDEO: ARREST OF FL ELECTION ADVOCATE FOR 'DISORDERLY CONDUCT' CAUGHT ON TAPE


VIDEO: Outrageous Arrest of FL Election Integrity Advocate, Candidate Caught on Tape
Ellen Brodsky's Attempt at Peaceful Observation of Ballot Counting, Led to Overnight Detention in Broward County Jail, Apparently Orchestrated by Election Opponent...

Last month we reported the story of the arrest of Broward County, FL election integrity advocate and independent candidate for Supervisor of Elections, Ellen Brodsky. She was handcuffed and arrested, according to the police report, for "disorderly conduct" and "trespass/structure or conveyance" while trying to observe post-election ballot counting and canvassing procedures in the county.

After her arrest, orchestrated by her opponent, Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes, Brodsky was held overnight in the county jail until 5:45am the next morning, despite her son having posted bail for her --- a grand total of $25 --- at 8:30pm the night before.

As you'll see in the video below, the fact that she was arrested at all, much less for "disorderly conduct" is absolutely incredible and clearly without merit. Our original report offered a great deal of background and context, as well as comments from Brodsky, and a number of both EI advocates and a state election official from a different county who have all worked with her. They all, almost uniformly described the turn of events at the time as "outrageous" and an "abuse of power".

Here's the video. You decide...
