Election Officials Suspended by DeSantis and Replaced with Republicans

(This is what we have to be vigilantly on guard about as 2020 approaches!)

First it was Brenda Snipes, the Broward elections chief suspended by Rick Scott and replaced with his top lawyer, Pete Antonacci, a rightwing Republican. Now, FL governor Ron DeSantis suspended Susan Bucher, the Palm Beach Supervisor of Elections.

Two partisan hack republicans have now been installed to replace elected Democrats in both of Florida’s largest Democratic counties to oversee the 2020 election.

This means the two puppet republicans will determine where polling stations will (and won’t) be set up, and will likely block the “implementing” of Amendment 4, which was supposed to be automatic. (A4 guarantees former felons the right to vote—which DeSantis has promised to stall)
