If your county is dire need of a new election supervisor, then you can have this one. I want her gone from my area.

I say the vote happens Feb 2.
Groundhog's Day, which is a Saturday in 2019.
Kavanaugh was confirmed on a Saturday.
For historical perspective, Clinton was impeached Dec 19, 1998.
Republicans had the House majority before the November midterms.
The Democrats picked up 5 seats but the Republicans still had the majority.
The Senate trial began Jan 7, 1999.
The acquittal vote was Feb 12, 1999.
The reason I have the vote rather early is because the fear of Trump acting more and more irrationally leading up to this vote.

Is there any doubt Gary is in the mix?

No thanks - reforms should have been demanded from your Republican leaders over the last 20 years, but I guess it has just been too for the GOP to have such a “problem”

I'm guessing "never" as well. Democrats would be foolish to impeach unless there are enough votes in the senate for a conviction. And I just don't see that happening.
It is entirely possible that Democrats are foolish enough to try it. I'm sure they will be under a lot of pressure.
But a better course of action is to simply hold hearings and expose everything. Then Tiny can be voted out of office in 2020. Then Tiny will refuse to leave because he says the election was rigged. Then Tiny can be thrown into prison where he belongs.
Remember, there are only four ways an authoritarian like Tiny leaves office:
1. Die in office
2. Thrown in prison
3. Flee to exile
4. Taken out back and shot
Most of you thought I was crazy the first time I said that. "Surely that can't happen in America", you thought. But I bet some of you are starting to see it my way.
The Whitaker thing is an obvious tell. Tiny did not try to pick the best man for our country. He picked Whitaker purely for his own self preservation. He will desperately cling to power no matter what it takes.

Another screw-up by Brenda Snipes.
https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/broward/article221452655.htmlWho is in charge of running elections in your home state?
We a have a Chief Election Officer for the state, but that person does not have the administrative duty to fire a county election election supervisor. My guess that responsibility would be under the Secretary of State, I'm not sure of that either. The previous Broward Election Supervisor to Snipes was Mirium Oliphant, who was fired by then GovJeb Bush. Oliphant was terrible,- she hired cronies, over spent her budget by millions to the point that her employees could be paid. Then Jeb appointed Brenda Snipes- we all believed that she would clean up the department. Nope- she was worse. We have had over 18 years of incompetent election supervisors in Broward. This has got to stop. We are the laughingstock of the US when it comes to national elections. It is a total joke.
To answer your question, Rick Scott should have fired her in May of this year after she was sanctioned by a judge for destroying ballots in 2016. Snipes needs to go, now.

Exactly

Exactly.
Will be interested in seeing if the investigation gets shut down/defunded prior to Mueller indicting Roger Stone and Donald Jr. which is going to happen in the near future.
That is Whitaker's purpose but, of course, POTUS denies knowing him despite being in multiple meetings with him in the past.
I just don’t see how he wins MI, WI or PA again as they are getting reamed by his tariff war. Forget FL....MI, WI and PA will flip back to a sane likable Dem candidate.

Instructional Design is the career path for someone who wants to learn to correctly design under interfaces. The proper design means that the design must be properly planned for, and tested on users, before something is released for use. In Florida the failure is all on Rick Scott. He is in charge of overseeing the election in Broward because prior Republicans running the state did not trust that highly democrat county. It is obvious that one of two things happen. That Rick Scott failed to test the UI, meaning he is negligent. Or, more likely, that Rick Scott had someone intentionally design a faulty UI, meaning he needs to go to jail.
Kasich will seem much more palatable in 2020 for midwestern and PA republicans

This is actual election fraud in Broward County. Ballots being illegally transported at night, finding new ballots in closets, all of this needs to be criminally investigated. The judge's deadline has passed as of 7PM ET last night and now Snipes refuses to comply with court order to allow inspection. She needs to be fired.
Rick Scott is in charge of overseeing the election on Broward County.
Nevada and Arizona are turning blue faster than expected. A republican will never win those states again.
Won't be foolish for Democrats to impeach him, even if the Senate doesn't convict. They will do it if for no other reason than to add a Republican President to the list of impeached Presidents.
Can’t wait for 2020 election. That means he’s there until 2021.
Can’t afford two more years of Trump building a wall of enablers and a foundation of corruption.
Can’t let bad economic policies of tariffs tear us down.
They already have way worse things on him than what lead to the impeachment of Clinton. They had no chance of conviction then, but they proceeded with the trial.
Trump will perjure himself in the senate trial, for sure.
And not perjury about sex but perjury about illegal financial transactions.
Perjury about improper foreign communications during the election and transition.
And his financials will be opened up.
The impeachment will lead to damning public disclosure.
And his children may be in trouble.
He needs to be put on trial.
Yes, testing is absolutely essential. You never know if your UI is any good until you test it on a diverse population of users.
And you are also right that those who oversaw the Broward election were probably negligent.
But I kind of doubt that most ballot designs are ever tested in a scientific way, if at all. It would be hard to convince people that Scott, or even Snipes are negligent if the accepted practice is to forego testing. And that is the real problem.
It all depends on Mueller. If his report shows that the Trump Tower meeting was illegal and he likely obstructed justice then the House really has no choice. Of course most of this will be circumstantial and he said/she said and likely without Trump’s sworn testimony. If so could the House supbpoena Trump to testify under oath to the assumed accusations in a Mueller report?
Anyway, if Mueller releases his findings before the summer we will see impeachment started in the House and likely squashed in the Senate before serious 2020 campaigning begins.
