A new supervisor of elections was sworn in this week in Broward County, Florida, one of the most scrutinized counties across the nation during the recent midterm elections.
Florida’s counties conducted two recounts for tight races. Broward repeatedly bungled the recounts, mixing in illegal votes with legal ones, refusing to follow the law and provide regular updates on vote counts, missing a key deadline by two minutes, thus invalidating the first recount, and ending the second recount with 2,000 votes missing.
