Brenda Snipes, the head of Broward County's elections office, left, Judge Betsy Benson, center, and Judge Deborah Carpenter-Toye look over a ballot during a canvassing board meeting at the Broward County Supervisor of Elections Office in Lauderhill, Fla., Nov. 9, 2018. Snipes, a Democrat, is at the center of a raging controversy marked by three statewide recounts, a litany of lawsuits, rising calls for her removal (the most recent from by the man who appointed her), — and a rowdy protest last week buoyed by the stinging words of President Donald Trump.
