4 Republicans with terrible track records + 4 women who can defeat them >> Christina Reynolds, EMILY's List [information@emilyslist.org] Sent:Thursday, July 05, 2018 11:34 AM To: Fred Bellis ,, .... EMILY'S LIST... Fred, Voter disenfranchisement. Civil rights abuses. Physical assault. Even the suggestion that slavery should be allowed. These are some of the things our candidates' Republican opponents have ACTUALLY advocated for or done. With opponents like these, the stakes couldn't be higher for our women or their communities. We have to win. Donate $3 to help elect pro-choice Democratic women running against Republicans with terrible track records. As Kansas' secretary of state, Kris Kobach — now running for governor of Kansas — supported a law suppressing the vote by requiring proof of citizenship. He also headed President Trump's bogus voter fraud commission and has been described as the "next Trump." While he was sheriff of Maricopa County, Joe Arpaio — who's running for the Senate in Arizona — committed gross civil rights abuses, including racial profiling; was convicted of criminal contempt of court; and was subsequently pardoned by President Trump. Then there's Montana Rep. Greg Gianforte, who was found guilty of having physically assaulted a reporter the night before he was elected. And Minnesota Rep. Jason Lewis, a former conservative radio show host, said the government shouldn't tell people they can't own slaves. It's horrifying, Fred. But that's why we've endorsed Laura Kelly (KS-Gov), Kyrsten Sinema (AZ-Sen), Kathleen Williams (MT-AL) and Angie Craig (MN-02) — because we know they can defeat these FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000001 Republicans in November.

Snipes Cc: Brian E. Corley [bcorley@pascovotes.com]; Maria Matthews [Maria.Matthews@dos.myflorida.com]; sao17@sao17.state.fl.us; pam.bondi@myfloridalegal.com; lchurchwell@publicinterestlegal.org; SecretaryofState@DOS.MyFlorida.com Dr. Snipes, I want to clarify your concerns from your phone call you made in regard to my email I sent on March 11, 2018, I appreciated you calling me. Your staff, have been professional by promptly returning my calls, are extremely knowledgeable, polite and charge reasonable rates for those public records requests. I can only complement your staff’s professionalism. I apologize if the tone of my previous email to your office if you felt I was unprofessional. Dolly was phenomenal and explained very clearly the process that once the state informs you that a suspected felon without their rights restored is on your voter role, you have a process dictated by state law, which include two consecutive mailings followed by a posting in the local newspaper. I understand that it can take up to 6 months from the time a person registers to vote and the time they are successfully removed. I didn’t imply you allowed 900 felons to vote. That wasn’t what I meant. The current state process in purging felons, to ensure they didn’t vote in the Nov 2016 election couldn’t have been stopped by your staff with the process they must follow by state law. The only part I wish for you to re-consider is I feel you have an obligation, once you were aware of felons voting, and were aware of the magnitude of the problem, that you should have reported this problem to Secretary of State’s voter fraud hotline, or someone of your stature could have contacted Ken Detzner the Secretary of State directly and asked him how you are supposed to address this. I would appreciate you contacting him directly, I am sure Mr. Detzner would be interesting in understanding the problem in how so many individuals voted illegally in Broward. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections, if individuals broke the Florida Elections laws they must be reported. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud, I feel your office had an obligation to report to the Secretary of State’s voter fraud hotline this issue of the 900 felons who voted in Nov 2016 election. This is the only issue I have with your office. That hotline was meant for members of the public, which you are. I have cc’d the State Supervisor of Elections, various media, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and the local State attorney’s office, to know that your office was fully supportive and fully cooperative in me verifying my concerns that your office found over 900 felons who voted in the Nov 2016 elections, from the 3200 felons your office purged.

FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000008 Andrew J. Meyers County Attorney OFFICE OF THE COUNTY ATTORNEY 115 S. Andrews Avenue, Suite 423 Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33301 FLORIDA 954-357-7600 · FAX 954-357-7641 January 11, 2019 Via Email Only: cbb@cborderscpa.com Cynthia Borders-Byrd, CPA 3800 Inverrary Blvd., Suite 408F Lauderhill, FL 33319 RE: Pending or Threatened Litigation, Claims, and Assessments (Excluding Unasserted Claims or Assessments) Against Broward County Supervisor of Elections in Excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00); Relevant Time Period: October 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018 (“FY2018”) Dear Ms. Borders-Byrd: This correspondence is intended to further respond to your office’s request to the Broward County Supervisor of Elections, Peter Antonacci, regarding pending and threatened litigation, asserted claims, and assessments against the Supervisor of Elections Office (“SOE”) that accrued during FY2018 and that our Office is handling. The Supervisor of Elections retained our Office on December 13, 2018. We did not provide legal representation to the SOE prior to that date. At the commencement of our Office’s representation of the SOE, we obtained from the SOE’s prior counsel, Ms. Burnadette NorrisWeeks, a list of active litigation involving the SOE. Of those matters, our Office has identified one pending action that is material within the meaning of your request (i.e., litigation involving amounts exceeding $50,000 individually or in the aggregate). Our opinion regarding the materiality of this action is based on our professional judgment and review of the information provided to our Office and our review of the matter since December 13, 2018. The action is summarized as follows: American Civil Rights Union v. Brenda Snipes, in her official capacity as the Supervisor of Elections of Broward County, Florida, Case Number 0:16-cv61474-BB, Southern District of Florida; currently on appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, Case Number 18-11808. The American Civil Rights Union and one of its members filed suit against Brenda Snipes, in her official capacity, asserting claims under Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (“NVRA”) relating to an alleged failure to conduct voter list maintenance programs and an alleged failure to produce certain records concerning the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters. A bench trial was held on July 25, 2017, and the trial court entered judgment in favor of Dr. Snipes on March 30, 2018. Plaintiff American Civil Rights Union Broward County Board of County Commissioners Mark D. Bogen • Lamar P. Fisher • Beam Furr • Steve Geller • Dale V.C. Holness • Nan H. Rich • Tim Ryan • Barbara Sharief • Michael Udine broward.org/legal FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000009 1 Cynthia Borders-Byrd, CPA __ --July 2, 2019January 11, 2019 Page 2 appealed the case to the Eleventh Circuit, which is currently pending. The SOE intends to continue its vigorous defense of the matter on appeal. In addition to a review of the list of active litigation provided by prior counsel for the SOE, our Office has performed a search of the clerk of court online dockets for the state and federal courts in Leon County and Broward County to determine whether there is additional active litigation against the SOE. No additional active material litigation was identified in that search. We have also confirmed with Mr. Antonacci that he is not aware of any other threatened litigation, asserted claims, or assessments against the SOE that accrued during FY2018. In addition to the qualifications stated above regarding the completeness of this response, please note that there is additional active litigation against the SOE that accrued during FY2018. These actions are not identified in this response because, in our professional judgment and based on information provided to our Office, they do not constitute “material” matters within the meaning of your request. Further, one lawsuit filed after the end of FY2018 is also not included as it is an action seeking relief relating to alleged acts or omissions occurring in October and November 2018 with regard to the 2018 General Election and therefore are outside the relevant time period. The information contained in this letter is as of the date of the letter, and we neither accept nor assume any obligation to inform you of any changes that may thereafter be brought to our attention. This response is limited by, and in accordance with, the ABA Statement of Policy Regarding Lawyer’s Responses to Auditors’ Request for Information (1975) and the accompanying Commentary (which is an integral part of the Statement). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the limitations set forth in such Statement on the scope and end use of this response are specifically incorporated herein by reference, and any description herein of any “loss contingencies” is qualified in its entirety by Paragraph 5 of the Statement and accompanying Commentary.

Last fall the Department of State launched Project Integitg a series of publicly noticed workshops around the state to seek your collaboration for the proposed addition of a new process to ensure the integrity and safeguarding of our voter rolls. From the beginning, I have said that the law requires state officials to ensure that the voter rolls are accurate and only contain eligible voters. An ineligible vote nullifi es I an eligible vote. I don?t think that?s fair to Floridians- It is our statutory duty and responsibility to maintain updated voter rolls. We fought for access to the Department of Homeland Security?s (DHS) Systematic Alien Veri?cation for Entitlements (SAVE) pro gram because we knew it would give us added access to additional credible and reliable information. Once we gained access to the database, we worked to deveIOp a new proposed process to remove ineligible persons on the voter rolls. Our most recent focus has been to ?nalize internal case management procedures, conduct pre~ launch testing and quality control analysis of program codes and procedures, and put the ?nal touches to the Department of State?s trairn'ng' webinar. In early February, we redei'ved notice that the SAVE program would be undergoing a mold-phase redesign. On February 23, Phase One was of?cially launched and included, at a minim a revised screen design, new ?elds and features. We also learned that Phase II is expected to include more UnSpeci?ed expanded and enhanced functionalities for SAVE. These changes will enhance and improve the credibility and reliability of the potential ineligible matches, but DHS anticipates Phase Two Will not be complete untii 2015. RA.

It has always been our duty to ensure the integrity of the voter rolls. must provide public trust, con?dence and transparency in a credible and reliable process, and afford due process protection to every voter.

Snipes November 20, 2018 Dear Mr. President, It is our beliefs that a Federal court judge whose appointed by a President and/or inferior court judges should not be telling a President of these United States what he cannot do. The president and Congress have some control of the judiciary with their power to appoint and confirm appointments of judges and justices. Congress also may impeach judges (only seven have actually been removed from office), alter the organization of the federal court system, and amend the Constitution. Congress can also get around a court ruling by passing a slightly different law than one previously declared unconstitutional. Courts also have limited power to implement the decisions that they make. For example, if the president or another member of the executive branch chooses to ignore a ruling, there is very little that the federal courts can do about it. For example, the Supreme Court ruled against the removal of the Cherokee from their native lands in 1831. President Andrew Jackson disagreed with a ruling. He proceeded with the removal of the Cherokee, and the Supreme Court was powerless to enforce its decision. The Power of the Courts The 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka regarding integration of schools was not enforced until three years later, when Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, was integrated. Elizabeth Eckford, one of the first African American students to attend Central, was heckled on her way to school each morning. The federal courts' most important power is that of judicial review, the authority to interpret the Constitution. When federal judges rule that laws or government actions not constitutional executive actions of a duly elected President violate the spirit of the Constitution, they profoundly shape public policy. For example, federal judges have declared over 100 federal laws unconstitutional. Mr. President federal judges can only reverse decisions of federal agency actions and they should not be overturning FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000054 executive branch actions due to separations of power. A government agency is established by either a national government or a state government within a federal system. The term is not normally used for an organization created by the powers of a local government body. Agencies can be established by legislation or by executive powers. Our federal government has three parts. They are the Executive, (President and about 5,000,000 workers) Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives) and Judicial (Supreme Court and lower Courts). The President of the United States administers the Executive Branch of our government. The branch of federal and state government that is broadly responsible for implementing, supporting, and enforcing the laws made by the legislative branch and interpreted by the judicial branch. Supporters of judicial restraint point out that appointed judges are immune to public opinion, and if they abandon their role as careful and cautious interpreters of the Constitution, they become unelected legislators. According to Justice Antonin Scalia, "The Constitution is not an empty bottle....It is like a statute, and the meaning doesn't change." Despite the debate over what constitutes the appropriate amount of judicial power, the United States federal courts remain the most powerful judicial system in world history. Their power is enhanced by life terms for judges and justices, and they play a major role in promoting the core American values of freedom, equality, and justice. Exploring Constitutional Conflicts: Right to an Abortion? Could Roe v. Wade (1973), one of the most controversial decisions in judicial history, be overturned — or is it protected by stare decisis? Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) could have been the case that took away a woman's right to choose. The constitutional basis for both decisions is discussed here at the University of Missouri at Kansas City law site. What Exactly Is Judicial Activism? This scathing criticism of judicial activism doesn't pull any punches. The conservative article concentrates on the decisions of the Florida Supreme Court after the 2000 presidential election, then moves on to subjects such as Roe v. Wade and a recent Supreme Court decision regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act. Judicial review is a process under which executive or legislative actions are subject to review by the judiciary. A court with authority for judicial review may invalidate laws and governmental actions that are incompatible with a higher authority: an executive decision may be invalidated for being unlawful or a statute may be invalidated for violating the terms of a constitution. Judicial review is one of the checks and balances in the separation of powers: the power of the judiciary to supervise the legislative and executive branches when the latter exceed their authority. The doctrine varies between jurisdictions, so the procedure and scope of judicial review may differ between and within countries. The Constitution established the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction to provide a tribunal of the highest stature for disputes to which a state was a party and for cases involving the representatives of foreign nations. "The best-known power of the Supreme Court is judicial review, or the ability of the Court to declare a Legislative or Executive act in violation of the Constitution, is not found within the text of the Constitution itself. The Court established this doctrine in the case of Marbury v. Madison (1803)." In practice, the Supreme Court has only rarely exercised its jurisdiction over foreign officials. Instead, the Supreme Court's original docket has been dedicated largely to resolving disputes between state governments. Article III, section 2, of the Constitution distributes the federal judicial power between the Supreme Court's appellate and FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000055 original jurisdiction, providing that the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction in "all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls," and in cases to which a state is a party. In the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress made the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction exclusive in suits between two or more states, between a state and a foreign government, and in suits against ambassadors and other public ministers. The Supreme Court's jurisdiction over the remainder of suits to which a state was a party was to be concurrent, presumably with state courts since the statute did not expressly confer these cases upon the inferior federal courts. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, federal justices and judges differed on the question of whether state and inferior federal courts could constitutionally exercise jurisdiction in cases that fell within the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction under Article III. In the case of Farquhar v. Georgia in 1793, the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Georgia ruled that an individual could not sue a state in a federal circuit court because the Constitution's grant of original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court was exclusive. The U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Pennsylvania ruled that same year, however, in the case of United States v. Ravara, that the circuit courts could exercise criminal jurisdiction over a foreign consul, despite Article III's provision that the Supreme Court exercised original jurisdiction over "all cases affecting" consuls. In his 1803 opinion in Marbury v. Madison , Chief Justice John Marshall stated that Congress could not confer the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction on any other court. The Supreme Court did not settle the question until the 1888 decision in Ames v. Kansas , in which the Court ruled that parties embraced by the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction could bring suit in any court with jurisdiction over the parties or subject matter. In the 1794 decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, the Supreme Court sparked controversy when it ruled that Article III permitted an original suit in the Supreme Court against a state by a citizen of another state. Congress and the states reacted quickly to what many saw as a threat to the sovereignty of the states and adopted the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibited such suits in the federal courts. The most frequent exercise of the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction has been in suits between two or more states. In the 1838 case of Rhode Island v. Massachusetts, the Supreme Court upheld this jurisdiction in response to a claim of sovereign immunity. The Court ruled that the states had surrendered a portion of their sovereignty under the Constitution and in ratifying it subjected themselves to the federal judicial power in disputes that would otherwise have been settled through diplomacy or force by truly independent states. Prior to the Civil War, the Court heard only a handful of suits between two or more states, and all involved boundary disputes. In the twentieth century, states have also resorted to the Supreme Court to adjudicate disputes over water rights, especially arising out of competing claims of western states to interstate water sources. Suits between states have also dealt with disputes over contracts, the impact of state economic regulations, and environmental pollution. The Supreme Court has narrowly interpreted its constitutional grant of original jurisdiction. In Marbury v. Madison , the Supreme Court ruled that Congress could not expand the Court's original jurisdiction beyond that granted in the Constitution. Beginning with Cohens v. Virginiain 1821, the Court held that its original jurisdiction was defined entirely by the nature of the parties to a suit, not the subject matter. The Court declined to hear in the first instance cases under the Constitution, laws, and treaties of the United States unless they strictly conformed to one of the state party suits specified in the Constitution: a suit between two or more states, between a state as plaintiff and citizens of another state, and between a state as plaintiff and foreign citizens or governments. The Supreme Court established an important exception to this rule when it held that the Court would hear original suits brought by the United States against a state. In the 1892 case ofUnited States v. Texas, Justice John Marshall Harlan ruled that since the federal judicial power extended to "cases in which the United States was a party," and the Court was granted jurisdiction over cases to which a state was a party, the Court would take jurisdiction in a United States suit against a state. Such suits by the United States increased after the 1890s and usually involved disputes with states over land, though in the FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000056 late twentieth century they also included a few suits to enforce provisions of the Federal Voting Rights Act. In the late twentieth century, the Supreme Court further limited its original docket by declaring that it would exercise discretion over whether to hear cases even if they were legitimately within the Court's jurisdiction. In a series of cases in 1971, including Ohio v. Wyandotte Chemicals Corp., the Court declined to hear environmental pollution claims brought by states against corporations that dealt with complex and technical factual questions. The justices ruled that the states had other available forums to bring their claims and that the cases were not "appropriate" for the Court in light of its primary function as the nation's highest appellate tribunal. The Court resolved to examine the "seriousness and dignity" of claims so as to preserve its resources for consideration of appeals involving federal questions. The Supreme Court soon expanded its appropriateness doctrine to decline to hear some cases between two states, even where the Court's jurisdiction was exclusive. The Supreme Court's original docket has always been a minute portion of its overall caseload. Between 1789 and 1959, the Court issued written opinions in only 123 original cases. Since 1960, the Court has received fewer than 140 motions for leave to file original cases, nearly half of which were denied a hearing. The majority of cases filed have been in disputes between two or more states. The Court has generally accepted state party cases dealing with boundary and water disputes, but it has been much less likely to field original cases dealing with contract disputes and other subjects not deemed sufficiently substantial for the Court's resources. Mr. President, judicial activism must end in the 21st century and beyond. Americans believes that federal judges are over stepping their authority and they are promoting misinformation to illegal immigrants who believes unelected inferior court federal judges are more powerful than an United States President. In our opinion if federal court judges rulings attempts to overthrow a President executive branch authorities expressed outside the participation of judicial review those ruling should be ignored by your Administration. Please don't let an inferior court judge make rulings that interferes with separation of powers and be in direct conflict of your authorities delegated by the United States Constitution. BOLD thank you for your time and wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving and brand new year.

I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them! Public Record 3-13-18 acknowlegdement sent via email 3-26-18 Dr. Snipes will contact Tim Donnally with the SAO, as to how we should proceed 3-29-18 Dr. Snippes said she will speak with Burnadette Disposition Request of 3-13-18 Dr. Snipes contacted Andrews reqarding his PRR, he denied everything and stated that his request was only to ask Dr. Snipes to inform the State Attorney Office that convicted felon have voted and they should not be because of their conviction. Status 5-1-18 We are waiting for the 30ty days after the news paper to follow up PENDING This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public 20 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000078 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office!

We do not anticipate any cost to this part of the records request besides the staff time. If there are other costs that will arise, please notify us immediately.

We will provide at least 2 volunteers for each scanning team, to watch the scanning in close enough proximity to view how each ballot was cast. Observers will be respectful of the process and not impede it in any way. Observers may ask for the process to be temporarily paused or stopped if they are concerned about an issue. One of the volunteers will call out the votes to least 2 volunteers who will operate laptops attached to each scanner. Those volunteers will verify that each ballot has been scanned correctly.

I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them! Public Record 3-13-18 acknowlegdement sent via email 3-26-18 Dr. Snipes will contact Tim Donnally with the SAO, as to how we should proceed 3-29-18 Dr. Snippes said she will speak with Burnadette Disposition Request of 3-13-18 Dr. Snipes contacted Andrews reqarding his PRR, he denied everything and stated that his request was only to ask Dr. Snipes to inform the State Attorney Office that convicted felon have voted and they should not be because of their conviction. Status 5-1-18 We are waiting for the 30ty days after the news paper to follow up PENDING This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public 20 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000107 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office!

Observers will be respectful of the process and not impede it in any way. Observers may ask for the process to be temporarily paused or stopped if they are concerned about an issue.

I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them!

Status 5-1-18 We are waiting for the 30ty days after the news paper to follow up PENDING This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public 20 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000134 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud.

We may request to add a second scanner and scanning team, to expedite the process. We understand that the scanning needs to take place on your premises. 5. We will pay for the scan of the precincts in advance by providing the total number of ballots that we intend to scan, or paying for the staff time / per day in advance. (Staff costs were quoted to us as one senior staff member at $48/hour, and other junior staff members at a lower cost per hour.) We will choose the precincts that we wish to scan after viewing the complete set of ballots. We will provide each precinct as the last one is complete. We do not anticipate any cost to this part of the records request besides the staff time. If there are other costs that will arise, please notify us immediately. Since we are only scanning twelve precincts, we hope the job can be completed in one or two days at most. 6. We understand the ballots must be handled by your staff. We will provide at least 2 volunteers for each scanning team, to watch the scanning in close enough proximity to view how each ballot was cast. Observers will be respectful of the process and not impede it in any way. Observers may ask for the process to be temporarily paused or stopped if they are concerned about an issue. One of the volunteers will call out the votes to least 2 volunteers who will operate laptops attached to each scanner. Those volunteers will verify that each ballot has been scanned correctly. That is a minimum of 4 volunteers per scanning team. Additionally we will have individuals such as myself, our attorney, Tim Canova, and another professional present.

We request to have the following question answered at the soonest date possible in order for us to adequately prepare for the scanning, and make sure that we choose a scanner that is appropriate for the ballots: a) Is there a unique identifying number on each ballot? b) What size are the ballots? c) Have they been stored together by precinct, or are the vote-by-mail and other ballots like military and provisional stored elsewhere? d) Are they well-labeled by precinct? e) How much time will it take to locate each precinct? f) What is their general location? For example are they all in a warehouse? g) Are they in neat stacks, or in a more uneven state, from having been in a ballot bag for example? 8. We request a physical copy of a sample ballot from the August 30th, 2016 Democratic primary of Florida's 23rd Congressional District as soon as possible to help us prepare for the scanning. 9.

Once our team is present, we request that for each precinct, the ballots be divided into four stacks. Stack 1: Debbie Wasserman Schultz votes; Stack 2: Tim Canova votes; Stack 3: Void ballots; Undervotes; Overvotes; write-in candidates; Stack 4: any ballots that need further examination or follow-up. We request each stack be scanned and confirmed scanned accurately in batches of 25. We believe this will be the quickest way to scan and confirm the accuracy of the scans. At our discretion, we request the option to have the ballots for each precinct scanned without sorting if the outlined process becomes too time-consuming. 11. If there is no unique identifying number on each ballot, we request that a temporary unique identifying number be placed on each ballot with a sticker, immediately prior to its being scanned.

I’m writing to you on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Florida, of which I am the second VP. First, I would like to thank you for providing timely information to the League in the past. The information you provide has helped to enable us to educate voters and alert them if they needed to update their voter registration. Disposition Request Dr. of Snipes for Status waiting payment 3-7-19 A secon request sent to contact me. I also CC: Dr. Snipes Now that the certification period for Amendment 1401 is complete, I’m writing to request your assistance to obtain the final lists of all persons who signed petitions for reinstatement of voting rights, both certified petitions and rejected petitions (in separate documents if possible). We are looking for a spreadsheet with voters’ names, addresses, and in the case of rejected petitions, the reason for rejection. Excel spreadsheets are the easiest format for us to work with, but we will of course work with PDFs if that the only available format. If phone numbers and emails are available, we would like to request those as well. I understand that there is a charge for processing this request; please let me know the amount and how to pay it. Our first priority is to reach voters whose petitions were rejected because of a mismatched signature or address so that they can update their information. Did your office contact voters with mismatched signatures or mismatched addresses to alert them of the need to update their registration? We don’t want to duplicate your efforts if this has already been done. Second, if you rejected petitions because voters were previously registered but now considered ineligible, are the reasons for ineligibility broken out by category in the spreadsheet/pdf? If not, do you have a separate list of ineligible voters with the reasons they are ineligible? I would like to request that document if it exists, so we can reach out to re-register voters who have fallen off the rolls because of inactivity. Finally, we are going to work to register everyone whose petitions were rejected because they were not 13 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000154 for Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status registered. Did you make a distinction between people who were not registered at all and people who were registered but whose petitions were simply submitted to the wrong SOE? Were misfiled petitions of registered voters returned to the campaign to be submitted to the correct county? I’m aware that the addresses of people whose petitions were rejected because they were misfiled will not appear on the master spreadsheet or PDF. Were those petitions scanned, and if so, could the League acquire a disc of those scans? (In the counties where we have obtained a disc of the scans, the SOE’s office was able to use either Adobe Acrobat or the scanning program itself to redact the signatures or resize the images so that the signature line was cut off.) If the petitions are not yet scanned, could that be done, and redacted in this way? Failing that. may League members come in and obtain their addresses from the petition forms themselves? In order to expedite this process, would League members be able to take photographs of these petitions, or bring laptops to be able to type up these lists?

We specifically request that the Supervisor of Elections office not re-count or sort them prior to our meeting. 2. We seek to electronically scan 100% of the ballots cast in twelve precincts of our choosing from the above-stated election. We request that both sides of the ballots be scanned in PDF format. 3.

We may request to add a second scanner and scanning team, to expedite the process. We understand that the scanning needs to take place on your premises. 5. We will pay for the scan of the precincts in advance by providing the total number of ballots that we intend to scan, or paying for the staff time / per day in advance. (Staff costs were quoted to us as one senior staff member at $48/hour, and other junior staff members at a lower cost per hour.) We will choose the precincts that we wish to scan after viewing the complete set of ballots. We will provide each precinct as the last one is complete. We do not anticipate any cost to this part of the records request besides the staff time. If there are other costs that will arise, please notify us immediately. Since we are only scanning twelve precincts, we hope the job can be completed in one or two days at most. 6. We understand the ballots must be handled by your staff. We will provide at least 2 volunteers for each scanning team, to watch the scanning in close enough proximity to view how each ballot was cast. Observers will be respectful of the process and not impede it in any way. Observers may ask for the process to be temporarily paused or stopped if they are concerned about an issue. One of the volunteers will call out the votes to least 2 volunteers who will operate laptops attached to each scanner. Those volunteers will verify that each ballot has been scanned correctly. That is a minimum of 4 volunteers per scanning team. Additionally we will have individuals such as myself, our attorney, Tim Canova, and another professional present.

We request to have the following question answered at the soonest date possible in order for us to adequately prepare for the scanning, and make sure that we choose a scanner that is appropriate for the ballots: a) Is there a unique identifying number on each ballot? b) What size are the ballots? c) Have they been stored together by precinct, or are the vote-by-mail and other ballots like military and provisional stored elsewhere? d) Are they well-labeled by precinct? e) How much time will it take to locate each precinct? f) What is their general location? For example are they all in a warehouse? g) Are they in neat stacks, or in a more uneven state, from having been in a ballot bag for example? 8. We request a physical copy of a sample ballot from the August 30th, 2016 Democratic primary of Florida's 23rd Congressional District as soon as possible to help us prepare for the scanning. 9.

We request each stack be scanned and confirmed scanned accurately in batches of 25. We believe this will be the quickest way to scan and confirm the accuracy of the scans. At our discretion, we request the option to have the ballots for each precinct scanned without sorting if the outlined process becomes too time-consuming. 11.

I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them! Public Record 3-13-18 acknowlegdement sent via email 3-26-18 Dr. Snipes will contact Tim Donnally with the SAO, as to how we should proceed 3-29-18 Dr. Snippes said she will speak with Burnadette Disposition Request of 3-13-18 Dr. Snipes contacted Andrews reqarding his PRR, he denied everything and stated that his request was only to ask Dr. Snipes to inform the State Attorney Office that convicted felon have voted and they should not be because of their conviction. Status 5-1-18 We are waiting for the 30ty days after the news paper to follow up PENDING This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public 20 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000175 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office!

In addition, I would like to inspect and examine all of the ballots from this election (that is, in addition to the additional 10,000+ ballots that were counted the day after Election Day). I have been advised that ballots, particularly in Hollywood and Hallandale precincts, did not have my race on them. I would also like to see proof of the time of delivery of the mysterious 10,000+ ballots that appeared in the on-line vote count the day after the election. In regard thereto, I bring your attention to the following statute and request that you provide me with the time that the canvassing board met to review these additional ballots before they were counted. 101.67 Safekeeping of mailed ballots; deadline for receiving vote-by-mail ballots.— (1) The supervisor of elections shall safely keep in his or her office any envelopes received containing marked ballots of absent electors, and he or she shall, before the canvassing of the election returns, deliver the envelopes to 29 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000184 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status the county canvassing board along with his or her file or list kept regarding said ballots.

All ballots received thereafter shall be marked with the time and date of receipt and filed in the supervisor’s office. I am also requesting that you perform a recount of the ballots for my race. I suspect that these additional 10,000+ ballots that appeared the day after the election will be challenged. Prior to their appearance, I was entitled to a mandatory recount and request that you respectfully and voluntarily agree that you will perform one. I and/or my representative would like to be present when this is done. My contact information is set forth below. I thank your office for your cooperation in this regard.

A very objective standard. I know a little about the forensic document examination, having a Masters of Science in Forensic Science, and am surprised that the various SOE’s would have people on their staffs capable of comparing thousands of signatures and making the right call on all of them. A very subjective standard, especially when the only comparison is of two signatures. No extensive exemplars, and presumably a number of years between the compared signatures. I am further troubled by the not be to be counted ballot submitters receiving timely notice so that corrective action, if possible, could be taken. Would you please have someone on your staff provide me data regarding not counted vote by mail ballots for the last several elections? I’m particularly interested in the numbers rejected because of no signature and the numbers rejected because there was no match. Additionally I’d like to know the process for notifying submitters and the number of ballots that were corrected. Finally, if possible, I’d like to know how close to the election the decision not to count the ballot occurs and whether attempts at correction are made but received by your office after the election. 42 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000197 Current Public Records Requests ONLY USE THIS FILE 2014 - 2016 the current file as of 923-16 Dolly Gibson Sent: Thursday, October 04, 2018 11:53 AM To: Fred Bellis Attachments:Current Public Records Req~1.doc (2 MB) Mr. Bellis, FYI, outstanding public records request.

I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them! Public Record 3-13-18 acknowlegdement sent via email 3-26-18 Dr. Snipes will contact Tim Donnally with the SAO, as to how we should proceed 3-29-18 Dr. Snippes said she will speak with Burnadette Disposition Request of 3-13-18 Dr. Snipes contacted Andrews reqarding his PRR, he denied everything and stated that his request was only to ask Dr. Snipes to inform the State Attorney Office that convicted felon have voted and they should not be because of their conviction. Status 5-1-18 We are waiting for the 30ty days after the news paper to follow up PENDING This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public 20 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000218 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office!

Please let me know how many verified petitions you have done for this amendment and how many you have left to review. Please also give me the chart with the names of people whose petitions were rejected that shows the break down for reasons that the petitions were rejected. In addition, please give me the names, addresses, and phone numbers and other contact information of the people who had rejected petitions. Also, what is the best way to cure a petition that was rejected for the signature being different? Does the voter need to come down to the SOE's office and establish a new signature? What are the different methods of clearing up the issue that the signatures do not match? Can we correct a bad signature or a lapsed registration by having the voter register to vote again and sign a petition the same day? If someone at your office had petition that was incomplete or that the signatures did not match, or their registration had lapsed, did you send them any notice about this problem? What corrective action was taken on your office’s part, if any? 15 12-14-17 send acknowledgement via email & phone call 12-15-17 I sent email with the status report of the total processed and the cost for the rejected voters on a CD $17.50 12-14-17 Dr,.

Yesterday I received a notice from the SOE discussing the 2018 elections. I assume part of the cost of that document was charged as part of the $47,200, am I correct?

If I remember correctly it was $1.41 to mail the completed ballot back to the SOE. In the 2016 November General Election, It was my understanding, that the County Board of Commissioners agreed to pay for the return pre-paid postage, not the cities. In March of 2018 the City of Pompano Beach will be holding a City wide (not County wide) election. Logic would seem to dictate that the County Board of Commissioners would not pay for return pre-paid postage in a city wide election only. Yet in the SOE's mailout appears to say someone will be paying for the return postage pre-paid? Who will be paying and if the SOE is attempting to pass that cost to the City, on what authorization is the SOE relying to provide this service which in prior March elections did not apply? 19 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000282 Current Public Records Requests 2016-2017 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status In the current March 13, 2018 special election proposal how may dollars and how many vote-by-mail returns are estimated in the proposal submitted to the City of Pompano Beach?

We do not anticipate any cost to this part of the records request besides the staff time. If there are other costs that will arise, please notify us immediately. Since we are only scanning twelve precincts, we hope the job can be completed in one or two days at most. 6. We understand the ballots must be handled by your staff. We will provide at least 2 volunteers for each scanning team, to watch the scanning in close enough proximity to view how each ballot was cast. Observers will be respectful of the process and not impede it in any way. Observers may ask for the process to be temporarily paused or stopped if they are concerned about an issue. One of the volunteers will call out the votes to least 2 volunteers who will operate laptops attached to each scanner. Those volunteers will verify that each ballot has been scanned correctly.

We may request to add a second scanner and scanning team, to expedite the process. We understand that the scanning needs to take place on your premises. 5. We will pay for the scan of the precincts in advance by providing the total number of ballots that we intend to scan, or paying for the staff time / per day in advance. (Staff costs were quoted to us as one senior staff member at $48/hour, and other junior staff members at a lower cost per hour.) We will choose the precincts that we wish to scan after viewing the complete set of ballots. We will provide each precinct as the last one is complete. We do not anticipate any cost to this part of the records request besides the staff time. If there are other costs that will arise, please notify us immediately. Since we are only scanning twelve precincts, we hope the job can be completed in one or two days at most. 6. We understand the ballots must be handled by your staff. We will provide at least 2 volunteers for each scanning team, to watch the scanning in close enough proximity to view how each ballot was cast. Observers will be respectful of the process and not impede it in any way. Observers may ask for the process to be temporarily paused or stopped if they are concerned about an issue. One of the volunteers will call out the votes to least 2 volunteers who will operate laptops attached to each scanner. Those volunteers will verify that each ballot has been scanned correctly. That is a minimum of 4 volunteers per scanning team. Additionally we will have individuals such as myself, our attorney, Tim Canova, and another professional present.

We request to have the following question answered at the soonest date possible in order for us to adequately prepare for the scanning, and make sure that we choose a scanner that is appropriate for the ballots: Public Record Disposition Request of Status documents (via email sent on 5-15-17 & 5-3017 6-15-17 WE RECEIVED A SUBPOENA On 6-28-17 Leo delivered a CD (of all emails between Lulu and myself) to Burnadette office a) Is there a unique identifying number on each ballot? b) What size are the ballots? c) Have they been stored together by precinct, or are the vote-by-mail and other ballots like military and provisional stored elsewhere? d) Are they well-labeled by precinct? e) How much time will it take to locate each precinct? f) What is their general location? For example are they all in a warehouse? g) Are they in neat stacks, or in a more uneven state, from having been in a ballot bag for example? 8.

Stack 1: Debbie Wasserman Schultz votes; Stack 2: Tim Canova votes; Stack 3: Void ballots; Undervotes; Overvotes; write-in candidates; Stack 4: any ballots that need further examination or follow-up. We request each stack be scanned and confirmed scanned accurately in batches of 25. We believe this will be the quickest way to scan and confirm the accuracy of the scans. At our discretion, we request the option to have the ballots for each precinct scanned without sorting if the outlined process becomes too time-consuming. 11.

Release of these records is of current interest to the public because it involves a fundamental function of government, and taxpayer-funded activities. Therefore, this request involves the protection of both Florida voters and taxpayers. Together, this constitutes a compelling public need for responsive records. Relevant to open records laws, please note the Government Accountability Institute’s deadline is November 12, 2017.

We may request to add a second scanner and scanning team, to expedite the process. We understand that the scanning needs to take place on your premises. 5. We will pay for the scan of the precincts in advance by providing the total number of ballots that we intend to scan, or paying for the staff time / per day in advance. (Staff costs were quoted to us as one senior staff member at $48/hour, and other junior staff members at a lower cost per hour.) We will choose the precincts that we wish to scan after viewing the complete set of ballots. We will provide each precinct as the last one is complete. We do not anticipate any cost to this part of the records request besides the staff time. If there are other costs that will arise, please notify us immediately. Since we are only scanning twelve precincts, we hope the job can be completed in one or two days at most. 6. We understand the ballots must be handled by your staff. We will provide at least 2 volunteers for each scanning team, to watch the scanning in close enough proximity to view how each ballot was cast. Observers will be respectful of the process and not impede it in any way. Observers may ask for the process to be temporarily paused or stopped if they are concerned about an issue. One of the volunteers will call out the votes to least 2 volunteers who will operate laptops attached to each scanner. Those volunteers will verify that each ballot has been scanned correctly. That is a minimum of 4 volunteers per scanning team. Additionally we will have individuals such as myself, our attorney, Tim Canova, and another professional present.

We request to have the following question answered at the soonest date possible in order for us to adequately prepare for the scanning, and make sure that we choose a scanner that is appropriate for the ballots: a) Is there a unique identifying number on each ballot?

We request each stack be scanned and confirmed scanned accurately in batches of 25. We believe this will be the quickest way to scan and confirm the accuracy of the scans. At our discretion, we request the option to have the ballots for each precinct scanned without sorting if the outlined process becomes too time-consuming. 11. If there is no unique identifying number on each ballot, we request that a temporary unique identifying number be placed on each ballot with a sticker, immediately prior to its being scanned.

At some point whether it is in your January 31, 2017 or July 31, 2017 Certifications under Paragraph (8), above, or some other report prepared to demonstrate the actions taken to investigate the specific data I sent you, I may have to ask Maria Matthews to consider causing the Florida Department of State to “satisfy the appropriate requirements for [your] county.” You should be able to show compliance with the clear directions of the Florida statutes. I do not believe it would be wise to wait for another half year to find out why your office permits New York voters who voted in Florida’s Presidential Primary in March 2016, and then later voted in New York’s Presidential Primary, to remain on the Florida voter rolls without an investigative process. Your office can follow F.S. 98.075 paragraph (7) procedures, including holding hearings to make determinations of eligibility to vote. If more money is needed from your county commissioners, please advise how your request for same can be supported to get this investigation completed promptly. If any of the recipients needs another copy of the Excel data files, please let know. 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000344 Current Public Records Requests 2016-2017 Requ est # 2077 Date 03-10-17 @2:01p.m. COURT CASE PENDING Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Lulu Friesdat @LuluFriesdat Creative Director Shugah Works 917.543.2125 Item(s) Requested This is a public records request under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, relating to the production of records from the August 30, 2016 Democratic primary in the Broward County portion of Florida's 23rd Congressional District.

At our discretion, we request the option to have the ballots for each precinct scanned without sorting if the outlined process becomes too time-consuming. 11. If there is no unique identifying number on each ballot, we request that a temporary unique identifying number be placed on each ballot with a sticker, immediately prior to its being scanned.

We may request to add a second scanner and scanning team, to expedite the process. We understand that the scanning needs to take place on your premises. 5. We will pay for the scan of the precincts in advance by providing the total number of ballots that we intend to scan, or paying for the staff time / per day in advance. (Staff costs were quoted to us as one senior staff member at $48/hour, and other junior staff members at a lower cost per hour.) We will choose the precincts that we wish to scan after viewing the complete set of ballots. We will provide each precinct as the last one is complete. We do not anticipate any cost to this part of the records request besides the staff time. If there are other costs that will arise, please notify us immediately. Since we are only scanning twelve precincts, we hope the job can be completed in one or two days at most. 6. We understand the ballots must be handled by your staff. We will provide at least 2 volunteers for each scanning team, to watch the scanning in close enough proximity to view how each ballot was cast. Observers will be respectful of the process and not impede it in any way. Observers may ask for the process to be temporarily paused or stopped if they are concerned about an issue. One of the volunteers will call out the votes to least 2 volunteers who will operate laptops attached to each scanner. Those volunteers will verify that each ballot has been scanned correctly. That is a minimum of 4 volunteers per scanning team. Additionally we will have individuals such as myself, our attorney, Tim Canova, and another professional present.

We request to have the following question answered at the soonest date possible in order for us to adequately prepare for the scanning, and make sure that we choose a scanner that is appropriate for the ballots: Public Record Disposition Request of Status documents (via email sent on 5-15-17 & 5-3017 6-15-17 WE RECEIVED A SUBPOENA On 6-28-17 Leo delivered a CD (of all emails between Lulu and myself) to Burnadette office a) Is there a unique identifying number on each ballot? b) What size are the ballots? c) Have they been stored together by precinct, or are the vote-by-mail and other ballots like military and provisional stored elsewhere? d) Are they well-labeled by precinct? e) How much time will it take to locate each precinct? f) What is their general location? For example are they all in a warehouse? g) Are they in neat stacks, or in a more uneven state, from having been in a ballot bag for example? 8.

Stack 1: Debbie Wasserman Schultz votes; Stack 2: Tim Canova votes; Stack 3: Void ballots; Undervotes; Overvotes; write-in candidates; Stack 4: any ballots that need further examination or follow-up. We request each stack be scanned and confirmed scanned accurately in batches of 25. We believe this will be the quickest way to scan and confirm the accuracy of the scans. At our discretion, we request the option to have the ballots for each precinct scanned without sorting if the outlined process becomes too time-consuming. 11.

This information is being sought on behalf of the Government Accountability Institute for research and journalistic dissemination to the general public. Release of these records is of current interest to the public because it involves a fundamental function of government, and taxpayer-funded activities. Therefore, this request involves the protection of both Florida voters and taxpayers. Together, this constitutes a compelling public need for responsive records. Relevant to open records laws, please note the Government Accountability Institute’s deadline is November 12, 2017.

Release of the information is in the public interest because it will contribute significantly to public understanding of government operations and activities.

I have been advised that ballots, particularly in Hollywood and Hallandale precincts, did not have my race on them. I would also like to see proof of the time of delivery of the mysterious 10,000+ ballots that appeared in the on-line vote count the day after the election. In regard thereto, I bring your attention to the following statute and request that you provide me with the time that the canvassing board met to review these additional ballots before they were counted. 101.67 Safekeeping of mailed ballots; deadline for receiving vote-by-mail ballots.— (1) The supervisor of elections shall safely keep in his or her office any envelopes received containing marked ballots of absent electors, and he or she shall, before the canvassing of the election returns, deliver the envelopes to the county canvassing board along with his or her file or list kept regarding said ballots.

Prior to their appearance, I was entitled to a mandatory recount and request that you respectfully and voluntarily agree that you will perform one. I and/or my representative would like to be present when this is done. My contact information is set forth below. I thank your office for your cooperation in this regard.

Records requested: 1. We seek to examine all the Broward County ballots of Florida's 23rd Congressional District from the August 30, 2016 Democratic primary as they are stored. We request they all be brought to the same location, with as minimal disruption to their current state as possible. We specifically request that the Supervisor of Elections office not re-count or sort them prior to our meeting. 2. We seek to electronically scan 100% of the ballots cast in twelve precincts of our choosing from the above-stated election. We request that both sides of the ballots be scanned in PDF format. 3.

We will pay for the scan of the precincts in advance by providing the total number of ballots that we intend to scan, or paying for the staff time / per day in advance. (Staff costs were quoted to us as one senior staff member at $48/hour, and other junior staff members at a lower cost per hour.) We will choose the precincts that we wish to scan after viewing the complete set of ballots. We will provide each precinct as the last one is complete. We do not anticipate any cost to this part of the records request besides the staff time. If there are other costs that will arise, please notify us immediately. Since we are only scanning twelve precincts, we hope the job can be completed in one or two days at most. 6. We understand the ballots must be handled by your staff. We will provide at least 2 volunteers for each scanning team, to watch the scanning in close enough proximity to view how each ballot was cast. Observers will be respectful of the process and not impede it in any way. Observers may ask for the process to be temporarily paused or stopped if they are concerned about an issue. One of the volunteers will call out the votes to least 2 volunteers who will operate laptops attached to each scanner. Those volunteers will verify that each ballot has been scanned correctly. That is a minimum of 4 volunteers per scanning team.

I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them! Public Record 3-13-18 acknowlegdement sent via email 3-26-18 Dr. Snipes will contact Tim Donnally with the SAO, as to how we should proceed 3-29-18 Dr. Snippes said she will speak with Burnadette Disposition Request of 3-13-18 Dr. Snipes contacted Andrews reqarding his PRR, he denied everything and stated that his request was only to ask Dr. Snipes to inform the State Attorney Office that convicted felon have voted and they should not be because of their conviction. Status 5-1-18 We are waiting for the 30ty days after the news paper to follow up PENDING This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public 20 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000436 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office!

I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them! Public Record 3-13-18 acknowlegdement sent via email 3-26-18 Dr. Snipes will contact Tim Donnally with the SAO, as to how we should proceed 3-29-18 Dr. Snippes said she will speak with Burnadette Disposition Request of 3-13-18 Dr. Snipes contacted Andrews reqarding his PRR, he denied everything and stated that his request was only to ask Dr. Snipes to inform the State Attorney Office that convicted felon have voted and they should not be because of their conviction. Status 5-1-18 We are waiting for the 30ty days after the news paper to follow up PENDING This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public 20 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000466 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office!

I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them!

Status 5-1-18 We are waiting for the 30ty days after the news paper to follow up PENDING This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public 20 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000494 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office!

I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them! Public Record 3-13-18 acknowlegdement sent via email 3-26-18 Dr. Snipes will contact Tim Donnally with the SAO, as to how we should proceed 3-29-18 Dr. Snippes said she will speak with Burnadette Disposition Request of 3-13-18 Dr. Snipes contacted Andrews reqarding his PRR, he denied everything and stated that his request was only to ask Dr. Snipes to inform the State Attorney Office that convicted felon have voted and they should not be because of their conviction. Status 5-1-18 We are waiting for the 30ty days after the news paper to follow up PENDING This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public 20 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000524 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office!

In addition, I would like to inspect and examine all of the ballots from this election (that is, in addition to the additional 10,000+ ballots that were counted the day after Election Day). I have been advised that ballots, particularly in Hollywood and Hallandale precincts, did not have my race on them. I would also like to see proof of the time of delivery of the mysterious 10,000+ ballots that appeared in the on-line vote count the day after the election. In regard thereto, I bring your attention to the following statute and request that you provide me with the time that the canvassing board met to review these additional ballots before they were counted. 101.67 Safekeeping of mailed ballots; deadline for receiving vote-by-mail ballots.— (1) The supervisor of elections shall safely keep in his or her office any envelopes received containing marked ballots of absent electors, and he or she shall, before the canvassing of the election returns, deliver the envelopes to the county canvassing board along with his or her file or list kept regarding said ballots. (2) Except as provided in s. 101.6952(5), all marked absent electors’ ballots to be counted must be received by the supervisor by 7 p.m. 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000538 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status the day of the election. All ballots received thereafter shall be marked with the time and date of receipt and filed in the supervisor’s office. I am also requesting that you perform a recount of the ballots for my race. I suspect that these additional 10,000+ ballots that appeared the day after the election will be challenged. Prior to their appearance, I was entitled to a mandatory recount and request that you respectfully and voluntarily agree that you will perform one. I and/or my representative would like to be present when this is done. My contact information is set forth below. I thank your office for your cooperation in this regard.

Both Florida law and Federal law require that the ballot images be preserved for 22 months. Notice: Your voting system and the importance of preserving ballot images Your voting system counts the votes from the ballot images, not from the paper ballots themselves. Because your voting system must create a ballot image to count a vote, that ballot image is an important part of the election record and must be preserved for 22 months. The ballot images are a necessary link in the chain-ofcustody of a vote from the time a voter marks his/her ballot through the counting of that vote. The ballot images are a vital component in the verification process for any election.

To protect voter privacy, the stored files are randomly sorted so that ballots cannot be matched to the voting system transaction logs.

The retention period is based on Title 42, U.S.C. 1974, Retention and preservation of records and papers by officers of elections.

It has also been determined that digital ballots are subject to public records law. Therefore, I am reminding you that you MUST save digital ballot images because it is illegal to destroy them, or to only retain them in modified form. Please also note that my entire public information request below refers to the November 2018 General Election, culminating on November 6, but including all votes cast, and all other associated voting records generated, before November 6 for the same election. Pursuit to Florida Public Records Law (Florida Statutes §119.021, et seq), I hereby request the following public records from Broward County: 1. All digital ballot images from all voting machines and other election equipment that produced them for the November General Election. Please note this includes all digital ballot images in your county with no exceptions. I am requesting digital copies of these records in original unmodified form, i.e. original format, with the original file name as generated when they were first created, for all early voting, election day November 6 voting, absentee voting, vote by mail voting, conditional voting, and 11 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000545 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status provisional voting.

All metadata associated with all digital ballot images as described in #1. 3. All Cast Vote Records (CVRs) for every voter Please ensure that these records include the original file name and are preserved in the original format as they were generated with no modifications. 4. All metadata for all Cast Vote Records (CVRs) from #3 5. The list of vote records, which may be called the Cast Ballot Log or may be called by a different name According to election integrity experts I know, this is "typically a spreadsheet, with each row displaying the contents of one Cast Vote Record provided in the format or formats in which it is maintained by the voting system exported or exportable from the voting system (e.g., EMS). This may consist of more than one file." I Need Digital Copies of Digital Records Only For clarity, I am requesting digital copies of digital records.

Special Request For Speedy Delivery To serve the greater public good, I request that these digital records be delivered as soon as possible. We will need time to use them to verify whether or not votes were counted and recorded as cast -- and with time to spare before the election is certified. Since we are dealing with digital copies of digital records, I see no reason this would not be possible. If you disagree with my assessment, please contact me immediately with your estimated time frame for delivery, including a worse case scenario.

Important Special Note I submitted an almost identical public information request earlier today.

I make the request purely to serve the best interest of the American public and to protect our votes and our democracy. Further, I make this request to determine if votes have been counted and recorded as voters cast them. I have no commercial interest in any of these records for myself nor for any other person or entity. I will volunteer my time to ensure these digital ballot images are made available to other concerned citizens of the United States, election integrity groups, election attorneys and their staff, technical experts, news media outlets, individual reporters, academics, and other interested parties. In fact, if you do not post them to your official website, I will be asking others to post these public voting records on publicly accessible websites so they can be freely viewed and downloaded by anyone with a basic internet connection. I'm sure we can all agree that transparent, fully verifiable elections are the cornerstone of our free democracy.

"Cindy" Ashy Election Integrity Advocate November 6, 2018 P.O. Box 7132 Eureka, CA, 95502 360-325-1081 (cell) Thank you for your response to my public records request (4085). I need to point out that my request was placed on November 6, not November 9, not long after the polls closed (8:15 pm EST). You can see this in my request copied below. It looks like it was forwarded to you on November 9 and some of the header may be missing. I will check and forward it to you if there is any confusion. At this time, I need to clarify expand my request: 12-5-18 I received a reply from Joe. I will follow up with him on 12-17-18 11-30-18 sent request to Mrs. Flemming to forward to Mrs. Halll 1. I understand Broward County will be doing a recount. I want to make sure that you save all of the digital ballot images created in your ES&S machines and used to generate your currently announced vote totals. These are the images I was requesting on November 6 and I still want them in unmodifed format, along with the other digital records I requested, in the format I requested them. Please do not erase/delete/lose these 15 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000549 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status digital ballot images before, during, or after the recount. They are voting records that must be retained for 22 months, according to Federal law, and they are subject to public information requests. I even gave you a heads up on what I would be requesting earlier in the day on November 6 to make sure you knew to retain these digital ballot images. 2. I understand that you have been running ballots through a SECOND scanner, an "off the shelf" scanner, after you put them through the ES&S machines. I would like a digital copy of these digital scans as well.... so a complete digital copy of all of these additional paper ballot scans. Please make sure I receive these in a way that I can distinguish easily between the ES&S digital ballot images and the separate digital scans of the paper ballots you made on another type of machine. 3. When you conduct your recount, if you run the paper ballots back through the ES&S machines, I would like a digital copy of all of the digital ballot images created during the recount as these digital images will 16 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000550 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status be what the vote tallies are based on, along with the other digital records I requested on November 6. 4. If you again scan the ballots on another machine during the recount, I want a copy of those as well. 5. Please note that I am requesting a total of 3-4 sets of digital ballot images (4 if you scan the paper ballots again on an "off the shelf" scanner, in addition to the ES&S machine, during the recount). I do not want paper copies of any of these. I want the original digital images, unaltered in any way, including the original file names and format. 6. If you have made or plan to make any other scans of the paper ballots, I would like a digital copy of those as well. 7. Could you please provide an estimate of when I will receive these records. I would like to receive each batch of digital scans as soon as they can be made available, without waiting on the next batch(es). The sooner I receive these the better. I specifically ask they be expedited so we may 17 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000551 Current Public Records Requests 2017-2018 Requ est # Date Requestor Name/Address/Phone/Email Item(s) Requested Public Record Disposition Request of Status review them well before the election is certified.

BRENDA SNIPES, in her official capacity as the SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS of BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA Defendant, 1199SEIU UNITED HEALTHCARE WORKERS EAST, Defendant-Intervenor. DEFENDANT BRENDA SNIPES AND DEFENDANT-INTERVENOR 1199SEIU UNITED HEALTHCARE WORKERS EAST MOTION FOR AND MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF SUMMARY JUDGMENT ON COUNT I OF PLAINTIFF’S AMENDED COMPLAINT FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000569 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes, in her official capacity as Supervisor of Elections in Broward County, Florida, and Defendant-Intervenor 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East respectfully move this Court, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 56(a), for the entry of an order granting summary judgment to Defendant as to Plaintiff American Civil Rights Union’s (ACRU’s) claim in Count I that Dr. Snipes has violated Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), 52 U.S.C. § 20507. Plaintiff alleges that Defendant has failed to make reasonable efforts to conduct a voter registration list maintenance program, as required by statute. Defendant and Defendant-Intervenor are entitled to summary judgment because no disputed material facts create a triable issue, as Defendant’s maintenance of Broward County’s voter registration list unquestionably complies with the NVRA. MEMORANDUM OF LAW Congress passed the NVRA to increase opportunities for voter registration and to provide greater avenues for electoral participation. 52 U.S.C. § 20501. The NVRA achieves this purpose, in part, by regulating state voter roll maintenance programs and by requiring states to maintain accurate voter registration rolls. A state’s duty to maintain accurate voter registration rolls is met primarily through two functions, which operate as two sides of the same coin: (1) the state must ensure that registered voters remain on the rolls for as long as they continue to be eligible, id. § 20507(a)(1), (a)(3); and (2) the state must “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort” to remove voters who become ineligible due to death or change of residence, id. § 20507(a)(4). To this end, the NVRA permits states to remove registrants from the rolls only for specific reasons and in accordance with specific procedures as set forth in Section 8. See 52 U.S.C. § 20507. 1 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000570 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT Plaintiff claims that Defendant violates Section 8’s mandate to “to make reasonable efforts to conduct voter list maintenance programs.” Amended Complt. ¶ 28. As the Court has previously noted, “[w]hile Count I does not list the specific subsection of Section 8 Defendant allegedly violated,” this claim falls under § 20507(a)(4) of the NVRA, which “requir[es] that election officials ‘conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of—(A) the death of the registrant; or (B) a change in the residence of the registrant, in accordance with subsections (b), (c), and (d).’”). Order on Motions to Dismiss, 2016 WL 6248602, at *7 (quoting 52 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(4)). However, Section 8 expressly provides a safe harbor procedure that identifies how a state may comply with the Section’s requirement—specifically by using information provided by the United States Postal Service’s National Change of Address Program (“NCOA”). See 52 U.S.C. § 20507(c)(1). The safe harbor provides that: (1) A state may meet the requirement of subsection (a)(4) by establishing a program under which— (A) change-of-address information supplied by the Postal Service through its licensees is used to identify registrants whose addresses may have changed; and (B) if it appears from information provided by the Postal Service that— (i) a registrant has moved to a different residence address in the same registrar’s jurisdiction in which the registrant is currently registered, the registrar changes the registration records to show the new address and sends the registrant a notice of the change by forwardable mail and a postage prepaid pre-addressed return form by which the registrant may verify or correct the address information; or (ii) the registrant has moved to a different residence address not in the same registrar’s jurisdiction, the registrar uses the notice procedure described in subsection (d)(2) to confirm the change of address. 2 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000571 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT Id. As this Court has already found, “full compliance with subsection (c)(1) “would comply with the NVRA's mandates and accompanying constraints.” Bellitto v. Snipes, 2016 WL 6248602, at *8 (citing A. Philip Randolph Inst. v. Husted, 838 F.3d ___, 707 (6th Cir. 2016) (“APRI”)). Accordingly, a jurisdiction such as Broward County that follows a program using the Postal Service’s change of address information in the prescribed manner “meet[s] the requirements of subsection (a)(4).” See 52 U.S.C. § 20507(c)(1). Because the undisputed facts of this case demonstrate that Defendant is implementing the NCOA program in accordance with the safe harbor provision, the county’s program meets the requirements of subsection (a)(4). See id. For this reason alone, summary judgment is warranted on Count I. But even putting aside Defendant’s compliance with the safe harbor provision, summary judgment is also appropriate because the undisputed facts of the case show that Defendant takes several additional list maintenance steps—above and beyond the safe harbor process—to maintain the voter registration lists. These steps, combined with the NCOA process, satisfy Defendant’s obligations under the NVRA’s list maintenance requirement. See 52 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(4); Bellitto, 2016 WL 6248602, at *7-8. Yet despite these undisputed facts—or perhaps because of them—Plaintiff argues that Defendant’s list maintenance obligations somehow extend beyond those imposed by the statute. This is plainly untrue and contradicts the NVRA’s unambiguous language. Indeed, Section 8 allows jurisdictions great discretion to determine the methods by which they maintain their voter lists. While subsection 20507(a)(4) provides the general principle to which states must adhere, i.e. they must conduct a “general program making a reasonable effort” to remove ineligible registrants who have moved or died, it noticeably does not command that any particular process be employed. In fact, the only specific process for removing ineligible voters contained in the 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000572 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT statute is found in the safe harbor provision, which suggests one method a state “may” follow to “meet the requirement of subsection (a)(4).” 52 U.S.C. § 20507(c)(1). This is in stark contrast to the rest of Section 8, which proscribes elaborate procedures that must be followed to protect eligible voters from removal. The statute thus affords officials great discretion to design compliant list maintenance programs. Thus, Plaintiff’s claim is unconnected to both the facts of this case and the governing law. Plaintiff tries to create disputed issues where no genuine issues of material fact are in dispute by imposing obligations where the statute decidedly does not. Based on the actual requirements of the NVRA and the undisputed material facts in this case, Defendant and Defendant-Intervenor are entitled to summary judgment on Count I of Plaintiff’s complaint. UNDISPUTED FACTUAL BACKGROUND1 Dr. Brenda Snipes is the Supervisor of Elections in Broward County, Florida. In her official capacity in this role, Dr. Snipes is entrusted with fulfilling certain statutory obligations, under the NVRA and otherwise, related to voter registration list maintenance.2 SUF ¶ 4. A. Registration List Maintenance Activities Defendant regularly and actively maintains Broward County’s voter registration rolls. SUF ¶¶ 19-60. Defendant uses a number of tools and reviews and relies upon a variety of data to verify that registered voters remain eligible to vote in Broward County. See id. Through these methods and means, Defendant conducts a robust program to remove ineligible registrants, including persons who have moved out of the county or are deceased. Id. 1 For a more detailed recitation of facts, please see Defendant-Intervenor’s Statement of Undisputed Facts (“SUF”), filed separately. 2 Dr. Snipes also oversees Broward County’s voter registration activities related to adding new voters to the official list of eligible voters. See SUF ¶¶ 10-11. 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000573 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT 1. Broward County Uses Voter Registration Database Software to Interface with Florida’s Statewide Voter Registration Database. Defendant manages the Broward County voter registration list using voter registration database software provided by the company VR Systems (the “VR Systems database”). SUF ¶ 8. The VR Systems database interfaces with the statewide voter registration database. Id. 2. Defendant’s NCOA List Maintenance Program Defendant performs voter registration list maintenance using the United States Postal Service’s NCOA program. SUF ¶¶ 31-32. Defendant compares voter records in the VR Systems database against the NCOA database to identify changes to registrant information. The results of these checks are then reported to Jorge Nuñez, Defendant’s Information Technology Director. SUF ¶¶ 6, 33. If, as a result of this comparison, a registrant is identified as having information on record in the VR Systems database that conflicts with her information in the NCOA database, Defendant will take action to communicate with the registrant by mail, via a notice to the registrant identifying the problem. SUF ¶¶ 13-14; see also id. ¶¶ 15-16. Ultimately, a registrant who fails to update her registration information is sent an Address Confirmation Final Notice (“Final Notice”). See SUF ¶ 22. After a registrant receives a Final Notice, she has thirty (30) days to respond. Id. If the registrant does not respond within that time, the registrant’s status is changed from “active” to “inactive” in the VR Systems database. Id. Once a registrant is designated “inactive,” she may become “active” again if the registrant votes, appears to vote, or otherwise communicates with the SOE during the period containing two general federal elections. SUF ¶ 23. If the registrant does not vote or contact the Defendant’s office in two general election cycles, the SOE changes the registrant’s status to “ineligible,” and that individual is no longer registered to vote. SUF ¶ 24. 5 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000574 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT 3. Defendant’s Other List Maintenance Activities Defendant conducts additional list maintenance activities to verify or seek updated registration information before registrants are removed from the voter roll. Specifically, Defendant performs routine maintenance activities on daily basis using data received from the State. Each day, for example, Defendant receives from Florida’s Division of Elections a verified list of voters who have recently died.3 SUF ¶¶ 12, 40. Defendant cancels the voter registration records of those individuals included on DOE’s verified list. SUF ¶ 40. Because the State verifies the information on deceased voters prior to submitting it to Defendant, Defendant does not need to request additional information to confirm the data before removing the voter from the registration rolls.4 SUF ¶ 40. Defendant also receives daily lists from the State that identify registrants with felony convictions, SUF ¶¶ 12, 43, and registration records identified as duplicates, SUF ¶ 46. With respect to registrants identified as having a felony conviction, Defendant mails a letter to each registrant so identified, and the registrant has 30 days to reply to confirm or contest the conviction information. SUF ¶ 43. If there is no reply, Defendant publishes a notice in the newspaper. If there is no response within another 30 days, the registrant is automatically removed from the voter roll. SUF ¶ 32. With respect to registration records identified as duplicates, Defendant reviews the information and consolidates the registrant’s information so that only one registration per individual will remain active. SUF ¶ 46. Defendant uses the most recently provided address to update the registrant’s record. SUF ¶ 46. 3 This information is based on state department of health records, as well as the Social Security Death Index. SUF ¶ 40. 4 Alternatively, if Defendant receives non-verified information indicating that a registrant has died, Defendant may attempt to get a copy of the death certificate by contacting a family member through a mailing to the registrant’s last known address. SUF ¶ 41. Once Defendant receives the death certificate, she removes the individual from the registration rolls. SUF ¶ 41. If Defendant receives no response, she will send another notice and will contact the DOE to request an investigation into the voter’s status. SUF ¶ 41. 6 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000575 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT In fulfilling her voter registration roll maintenance obligations as Supervisor, Defendant works with a number of key personnel, each of whom plays a pivotal role in maintaining the voter roll. SUF ¶ 4. Jorge Nuñez, for example, is integrally involved in the list maintenance process, overseeing the voter registration database and the registration lists. SUF ¶ 6. He also aids in reporting Defendant’s activities to the state: twice per year, Mr. Nuñez prepares Certificates of Address List Maintenance Activities and Certifications of Eligibility Records Maintenance that are then provided to the state Division of Elections (“DOE”). Id. The Certification of Address List Maintenance Activities reports the actions taken to identify voters who have changed residence, to cancel the registrations of those who no longer reside in Broward County, and to update the registrations of voters who have moved within the county. SUF ¶ 13. The Certification of Eligibility Records Maintenance describes actions taken to remove voters who are ineligible because of death, felony conviction, mental incapacity, or because they are not U.S. citizens. SUF ¶ 13. In addition to Mr. Nuñez, Mary Hall, Defendant’s Voter Services Director, and Sonia Cahuesqi, a voter registration clerk, help to maintain the voter rolls by performing voter outreach and entering information into the county’s voter registration database. SUF ¶¶ 5, 7. During her time in office, Defendant has regularly used this arsenal of tools to maintain the county’s voter registration roll. SUF ¶¶ __. Through these list maintenance activities, between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed more than 240,000 registrants from the voter rolls in Broward County. SUF ¶ 14. Close to 150,000 registered voters living in Broward County on January 7, 2015, who were still registered in the county as of January 10, 2017, updated their street address to a new address within the county. SUF ¶ 16. These numbers reflect the large-scale impact of Defendant’s list maintenance activities on the 7 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000576 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT voter registration rolls. SUF ¶ 18. Defendant has made and continues to make reasonable efforts to conduct a general program aimed at removing registrants from the voter registration rolls who have moved or died, while ensuring that those eligible to vote remain on the rolls with their right to vote preserved. SUF ¶¶ __. B. This Lawsuit Plaintiff5 ACRU filed the original complaint against Defendant Snipes on June 27, 2016. Dkt. No. 1. Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint on August 4, 2016. Dkt. No. 12. Defendant-Intervenor 1199SEIU moved to intervene on September 19, 2016, Dkt. No. 23, and the Court granted the motion on September 21, 2016, Dkt. No. 29. ARGUMENT I. STANDARD OF REVIEW A motion for summary judgment must be granted if the evidence, viewed in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party, presents no genuine issue of material fact and compels judgment as a matter of law. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317 (1986). A genuine issue of material fact exists only when “a reasonable jury could return a verdict [in favor of] the non-moving party.” Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986). “A mere scintilla of evidence in support of the nonmoving party’s position is insufficient to defeat a motion for summary judgment; there must be evidence from which a jury could reasonably find for the non-moving party.” Baloco v. Drummond Co., 767 F.3d 1229, 1246 (11th Cir. 2014). Indeed, “[t]he mere existence of some alleged factual dispute between the parties will 5 Plaintiff ACRU initially filed this action, and its amended complaint, along with a co-plaintiff named Andrea Bellitto. In its Order on Motions to Dismiss dated October 26, 2016, Dkt. No. 64, the Court dismissed Plaintiff Bellitto from the case for lack of standing. Bellitto v. Snipes, --- F. Supp. 3d ----, 2016 WL 6248602, at *6 (S.D. Fla. Oct. 26, 2016). 8 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000577 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT not defeat an otherwise properly supported motion for summary judgment; the requirement is that there be no genuine issues of material fact.” Anderson, 477 U.S. at 247-48. Moreover, the burden on the moving party to show the absence of a genuine issue of material fact may be discharged by “‘showing’—that is, pointing out to the district court—that there is an absence of evidence to support the nonmoving party’s case.” Celotex, 477 U.S. at 325. “[I]f the record, taken as a whole, cannot lead a rational trier of fact to find for the non-moving party, there is no genuine issue for trial, and summary judgment is proper.” Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. v. AAR Aircraft Servs., Inc., 167 F. Supp. 3d 1311, 1316 (S.D. Fla. 2016). When viewed in the light most favorable to Plaintiff, no triable facts exist that could support Plaintiff’s Section 8 claim. Accordingly, Defendant Snipes and Defendant-Intervenor 1199SEIU are entitled to summary judgment on Count I of Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint. II. DEFENDANT’S LIST MAINTENANCE PROGRAM COMPLIES WITH THE NVRA. As the Court has noted, Plaintiff’s Section 8 claim is premised on Defendant’s alleged failure to make a “reasonable effort” to comply with the NVRA by establishing a program to remove registrants who have died or moved, and accordingly falls under 52 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(4). See Bellitto v. Snipes, --- F. Supp. 3d ----, 2016 WL 6248602, at *7 (S.D. Fla. Oct. 26, 2016). But even when viewed in the light most favorable to Plaintiff, the record simply does not support this conclusion. While this Court found that Plaintiff’s allegations were sufficient to survive a motion to dismiss, Plaintiff has not subsequently put forth sufficient evidence to survive summary judgment. See Matsushita Elec. Indus. Co. v. Zenith Radio Corp., 475 U.S. 574, 585 (1986). Indeed, a review of the record reveals that there is no genuine issue of material fact disputing Defendant’s implementation of an NCOA program, which renders her program compliant with Section 8 under the safe harbor provision of subsection (c)(1). 9 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000578 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT Moreover, the undisputed evidence also establishes that Defendant’s program employs a multitude of tools in addition to the NCOA process to maintain Broward County’s registration list while ensuring that eligible voters are not improperly removed. For either of these reasons, Defendant is entitled to summary judgment on Count I. A. The NVRA’s Removal Requirement is Narrow and Gives Defendant Discretion to Choose How to Reasonably Maintain Broward County’s Voter Registration List. The NVRA requires that states, in administering their voter registration rolls, “ensure that any eligible applicant is registered to vote in an election” where that applicant has taken the appropriate steps to register. 52 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(1) (emphasis added). To facilitate Congress’s goal that legitimate, eligible voters remain registered to vote, the statute prescribes only a narrow set of circumstances in which election officials may remove the names of registrants from the voter rolls. In particular, the law provides that election officials may not remove the names of registrants unless:  The registrant requests to be removed, id. § 20507(a)(3)(A);  The registrant is convicted of a crime or adjudicated mentally incompetent, and state law prevents such individuals from voting, id. § 20507(a)(3)(B);  The registrant has died, id. § 20507(a)(4)(A); or  The registrant’s residence has changed, and o The registrant confirms in writing that she has changed residence to a place outside the registrar’s jurisdiction (i.e., the county); or o The registrant fails to respond to written notice from the registrar and fails to vote in any election in the subsequent period that includes two general Federal elections, id. § 20507(d)(1) (emphasis added). 10 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000579 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT Moreover, systematic removal programs cannot be conducted within 90 days of a federal election, with certain exceptions.6 42 U.S.C. § 1973gg–6(c)(2)(A); see also Arcia v. Fla. Sec’y of State, 772 F.3d 1335, 1343-44 (11th Cir. 2014). Within the framework of preserving eligible voters’ right to remain on the registration rolls, the NVRA requires election officials to “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of” death or change in residence, as noted above. Id. § 20507(a)(4); 2016 WL 6248602, at *7. The NVRA gives election officials discretion to use any of a variety of sources of information to identify voters who are believed to have become ineligible, but does not mandate the use of any particular source. The law simply sets a floor for any list maintenance program: it must be “uniform, nondiscriminatory, and in compliance with the Voting Rights Act . . . .” 52 U.S.C. § 20507(b)(1). And the NVRA expressly provides that list maintenance programs cannot result in the removal of any registrant due to the person’s failure to vote. Id. § 20507(b)(2). Moreover, the NVRA’s mandates concern the procedures used to maintain voter rolls—not outcomes. B. Defendant’s Use of the National Change of Address Database Satisfies Her List Maintenance Obligations Under the NVRA. In prescribing the framework within which a state must conduct its registration list maintenance efforts, the NVRA provides a “safe harbor.” The safe harbor is a procedure that, if followed, satisfies the election official’s statutory obligation to conduct a reasonable removal program. See APRI, 838 F.3d at 707. Under the safe harbor provision, “[a] State may meet the requirement of subsection (a)(4)” by establishing a program that uses change of address 6 The NVRA only allows states to conduct three types of removals in the 90 days before a federal election: (1) at the request of the registrant; (2) as provided by State law, by reason of criminal conviction or mental incapacity; and (3) upon death of the registrant. Arcia, 772 F.3d at 1345 (citing 42 U.S.C. § 1973gg–6(c)(2)(B); id. § 1973gg–6(a)(3)– (4)). 11 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000580 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT information provided by the U.S. Postal Service “to identify registrants whose addresses may have changed.” 52 U.S.C. § 20507(c)(1)(A). Such a program requires a state or locality to provide certain notifications to the potentially ineligible registrants, and to take prescribed action if it appears from the information provided by USPS that a registrant has moved. Id. § 20507(c)(1)(B). As this Court has recognized, “full compliance with subsection (c)(1) ‘would comply with the NVRA’s mandates and accompanying constraints.’” Bellitto v. Snipes, 2016 WL 2016 WL 6248602, at *7 (quoting APRI, 838 F.3d at 707). It is undisputed that Defendant’s list maintenance efforts and voter-removal program uses change-of-address information supplied by the U.S. Postal Service through the NCOA program. SUF ¶ 28. Indeed, certifications issued by Defendant’s office indicate that Defendant has conducted consistent list maintenance activities using NCOA since at least 2009, with subsequent removals following the expiration of the statutory waiting period. As discussed supra, Defendant’s NCOA program involves a comparison between the county’s information and the NCOA database to identify voters who have moved. SUF ¶ 30. According to the results of that matching, Defendant then sends notices to registrants who have been identified as having a new address. The information generated from these mailings is then used to update the registration rolls. Defendant’s use of the NCOA data in this way establishes—as a matter of law—that Defendant complies with her obligations under Section 8 of the NVRA. There is simply no material evidence that Defendant does not use the NCOA program in her list maintenance activities. Plaintiff’s unsupported contentions otherwise simply fail as a matter of law. There is no genuine issue of dispute on this matter. Defendant unquestionably satisfies the safe harbor provision, and this alone warrants summary judgment on Count 1 in Defendant’s favor. 12 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000581 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT C. Putting Aside Defendant’s Compliance with Section 8’s NCOA Safe Harbor, the Undisputed Facts Show, on an Independent Basis, that Defendant’s Voter Removal Program is Reasonable Under the Statutory Standard. Even setting aside that Defendant has “me[t] the requirement of subsection (a)(4)” by using NCOA data as prescribed in § 20507(c)(1), the undisputed facts provide a separate, independent basis for finding that Defendant “conducts a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters” by reason of death or change in residence, as required by § 20507(a)(4). As discussed supra, Defendant conducts list maintenance activities separate and apart from the NCOA program. Defendant receives daily updates from Florida’s Division of Elections, reflecting a verified list of voters who have recently died according to state department of health records and the Social Security Death Index, SUF ¶¶ 12, 40, a list of registrants with felony convictions, id. ¶ __, and a list or registration records identified as duplicates, id. ¶ __. With respect to those individuals included on the DOE’s verified list of deceased registrants, Defendant cancels those registration records. SUF ¶ 40. With respect to registrants identified as having a felony conviction, Defendant solicits a direct response from the registrant in question, and if the registrant does not respond within the prescribed time, the registrant is removed from the registration list. SUF ¶ 43. And with respect to registration records identified as duplicates, Defendant reviews and consolidates the registrant’s information so that only one registration per individual remains active, using the most recently provided address to update the registrant’s record. SUF ¶ 46. Defendant’s registration maintenance program also includes additional processes for when she receives information indicating that a registrant has died. SUF ¶ 27. If Defendant is informed of a registrant’s death by a family member, for example, she will ask for a copy of the death certificate. Id. If one is provided, Defendant will remove the registrant from the voter rolls. 13 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000582 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT Id. If Defendant learns of a registrant’s death from someone other than a family member, she will attempt to contact a family member of the registrant to seek confirmation and to obtain a copy of the death certificate by sending a mailing to the registrant’s last known address. Id. Again, if Defendant receives a copy of the death certificate, she will remove the registrant from the rolls. Id. If there is no response to the mailing or if Defendant is unable to get a copy of the death certificate, Defendant will send another notice and will also contact the DOE and ask it to investigate the voter’s status. Id. It is important to note that Section 8 is not outcome-oriented. The NVRA does not identify a numerical an upper or lower rate of registration against which a state’s or locality’s voter removal efforts are deemed “reasonable.” But even so, the objective results of Defendant’s general program of list maintenance activities demonstrate that her program has a real, substantial outcome in terms of the removal of registrants deemed ineligible. Between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed over 240,000 registrants from the voter rolls in Broward County. SUF ¶ 39. Over 9,000 of the registration records removed during this period were duplicate registration records. SUF ¶ 30. During this same period, Defendant also removed over 37,000 registrants from Broward County’s voter registration rolls because the registrant was determined to be deceased. SUF ¶ 28. Taking a different slice of time shows that these numbers are not anomalous: between January 7, 2015 and January 10, 2017, Broward County removed over 192,000 registrants from its voter rolls. SUF ¶ 40. These facts are not in dispute. In addition to executing her program to identify and remove from Broward County’s voter roll—if and as necessary—registrants who have died or moved out of Broward County, Defendant also works to ensure that the voter registration rolls do not include registrants who are 14 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000583 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT or become ineligible to vote under the law—including non-citizens and those ineligible due to criminal conviction or mental incapacity pursuant to Florida state law. See SUF ¶¶ 48-51, 52-56. For example, Defendant uses information received directly from the Division of Elections to manage the removal of registrants based on violation of state law, as applicable. SUF ¶¶ 48-51. And if an individual who is applying for citizenship is found to have registered to vote as a noncitizen, Defendant immediately removes that person from the rolls. SUF ¶ 53. III. PLAINTIFF HAS PRESENTED NO EVIDENCE TO CREATE A GENUINE DISPUTE OF MATERIAL FACT AS TO THE REASONABLENESS OF DEFENDANT’S VOTER REMOVAL PROGRAM. Plaintiff has not presented a genuine issue of material fact disputing that Defendant takes the above-described, statutorily prescribed steps as part of her broader list maintenance and voter removal program. Rather, Plaintiff relies on two arguments in an attempt to cast doubt on the reasonableness of Defendant’s list maintenance: first, that Broward County has an “implausibly high number of registrants,” Am. Complt. ¶ 11; and second, that there are other methods that Defendant could employ, but does not. See id. ¶¶ 13, 19. Not only are these arguments meritless, but they do nothing to speak to the reasonableness of the efforts that Defendant unquestionably takes to maintain the voter registration rolls in Broward County. First, the NVRA has no outcome-based criteria for compliance. In other words, there is no registration rate threshold under or over which a state’s or locality’s list maintenance program is deemed reasonable or unreasonable. Appropriately so, as the NVRA is designed to increase voter registration and participation, 52 U.S.C. § 20501, and to protect eligible voters from improper removal, id. § 20507(a)(1). As the Court noted in its Order on Intervenor’s Motion to Dismiss, the protections and precautions built into the NVRA could plausibly explain Broward County’s high voter registration rate. See Bellitto v. Snipes, 2016 WL 6248602, at *8; Intervenor’s Mot. to Dismiss, Dkt. No. 36, at 9-10. The NVRA deliberately slows the removal 15 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000584 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT process in order to keep eligible voters from being improperly removed. See, e.g., 52 U.S.C. § 20507(d)(1) (requiring the passage of two election cycles before an inactive voter can be removed from the registration rolls). This is a beneficial feature of the NVRA—not a flaw. And even if Broward County’s registration rate could plausibly signal some potential failure by Defendant under a motion to dismiss standard, Plaintiff has failed to present any evidence to prove its case that can survive summary judgment. Second, lacking any evidence that Defendant has failed to take reasonable efforts to maintain the Broward County voter registration rolls, Plaintiff appears to argue that there are specific sources of information that Defendant is not using and that therefore, Defendant’s efforts are not reasonable. Plaintiff’s Amended Complaint offers just two—and only two—examples of this—(i) a list of registered voters in the Wynmoor Community of Broward County who Plaintiff believes have moved or died, Am. Complt. ¶ 13, and (ii) jury excusal forms, Am. Complt. ¶ 19. These allegations fall flat With respect to jury forms, the NVRA does not require election officials to employ any particular type of list maintenance technique for identifying potentially ineligible voters. In particular, there is no requirement that Defendant review jury excusal forms as part of her list maintenance efforts.7 That Defendant chooses to maintain Broward County registration rolls using multiple tools as described above, but has chosen not to include jury excusal forms in her arsenal, is not evidence that her program is unreasonable. Moreover, with respect to the list of Wynmoor residents, Plaintiff’s reliance on this list to support its argument is short-sighted. It conveniently overlooks the fact that Defendant is prohibited by law from immediately removing registrants from the registration list based on 7 Jury forms are an unreliable source of information for the purposes of voter list maintenance because, among other things, individuals who were noncitizens when called for jury duty may have subsequently been naturalized before they registered to vote. 16 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000585 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT information from a third party claiming that certain registrants should be removed. 52 U.S.C. § 20507(d); see also N.C. State Conf. of NAACP v. N.C. State Bd. of Elections, 2016 WL 6581284, at 7-8 (N.D.N.C. Nov. 4, 2016) (granting preliminary injunction under Section 8’s notice-and-waiting-period provisions). Rather, as Defendant’s Voter Services Director Mary Hall testified, if Defendant receives information from a source other than the Division of Elections indicating that a registrant may have changed addresses or died, Defendant appropriately and lawfully seeks to verify the information and determine whether removal would be appropriate. See SUF ¶ 17. And as described above, this notice process necessarily takes some time to ensure that Defendant complies with the NVRA’s protections and does not improperly remove an eligible voter from her list. Accordingly, the fact that some third party presented Defendant with a list of registrants believed to be ineligible does not prove or even support an argument that Defendant’s roll maintenance efforts are unreasonable. Rather, it indicates that Defendant is complying with her legal obligation to avoid the hasty removal of registrants from the registration list without proper verification, which, as discussed above, takes time. See also Mont. Democratic Party v. Eaton, 581 F. Supp. 2d 1077, 1081 (D. Mont. 2008) (“a state cannot prevent a citizen from voting on the ground that the citizen has changed his or her address. This rule is . . .designed to protect the citizen’s right to vote for at least two federal election cycles while the citizen updates his or her registration information.”) Because Plaintiff has not presented a genuine issue of material dispute as to the reasonableness of Defendant’s voter removal program, Defendant Snipes and DefendantIntervenor 1199SEIU are entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law on Plaintiff’s Claim I. 17 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000586 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT REQUEST FOR HEARING Defendant Snipes and Defendant-Intervenor 1199SEIU request that the Court hold a hearing on this motion, which it estimates would require approximately __ minutes. Defendant and Defendant-Intervenor believe that a hearing would be helpful to the Court to assess the validity vel non of Plaintiff’s legal theories in this case. CONCLUSION WHEREFORE, Defendant Snipes and Defendant-Intervenor 1199SEIU respectfully request the Court enter an Order granting this Motion for Summary Judgment on Claim I of Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint.

The Court granted 1199SEIU leave to intervene as to Count 1 of the above-captioned litigation on September 21, 2016. (Dkt. 29). II. STATE AND COUNTY PERSONNEL COLLABORATE USING TIGHTLY INTEGRATED INFORMATION SYSTEMS TO ENSURE BROWARD COUNTY’S VOTER ROLLS ARE ACCURATE AND UP TO DATE A. Key Personnel in Defendant’s Office Carry Out the Office’s Voter Registration and List-Maintenance Responsibilities 4. Several key personnel in Defendant’s office are responsible for carrying out the office’s responsibilities relating to voter registration and voter-roll maintenance. See, e.g., Snipes Depo. 25:8-26:9; Deposition of Dolly Gibson, Jan 30, 2017 (“Gibson Depo.”), at 25:3-26:23. In addition to Dr. Snipes, several people are involved with voter-list maintenance in Dr. Snipes’ office, including Jorge Nuñez, (“Nuñez Decl.”), Mary Hall (Deposition of Mary Hall, Jan. 27, 2017 (“Hall Depo.”), at 7:16-23), and Sonia Cahuesqui, Deposition of Sonia Cahuasqui, Jan. 30, 2017 (“Cahuasqui Depo.”) 6:23-25; 7:14. 5. Mary Hall is employed as Defendant’s Voter Services Director, and has served in that position for “at least 14 years.” Hall Depo, at 7:3-7. Ms. Hall’s duties include helping to maintain the voter rolls, including by performing voter outreach and entering data into the county’s voter-registration database. Hall Depo. 9:22-10:11. 6. Jorge Nuñez is employed as Defendant’s Information Technology Director. Mr. Nuñez maintains Defendant’s voter-registration database and is “very involved in the listmaintenance process.” Snipes 1st Depo. 25:16-18; see also id. 139:15-24; Hall Depo. 11:11-14. Mr. Nuñez prepares twice-yearly certifications summarizing the Defendant’s list-maintenance activities that are provided to the Division of Elections (“DOE”) of the Florida Department of State (“DOS”). Snipes 1st Depo. 165:11-14; Hall Depo. 44:19-21; Ex. A to Def. Resp. to Pl. First Set of Req. for Docs. (“Init. Certs.”); Supplemental List Maintenance Records 3.2.17.pdf 2 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000589 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT (“Amd. Certs.”). Mr. Nuñez is also responsible for placing orders with and sending data files to Commercial Printers, Inc. (“Commercial Printers”), a third-party vendor that performs printing and mailing services related to Defendant’s list maintenance. Snipes 1st Depo. 143:13-144:7. Commercial Printers has performed all high-volume printing and mass-mailing services for Defendant since she took office. Hall Depo. 17:16-18; Snipes 1st Depo. 34:20-22; 22:24-25, 42:14-18. 7. Sonia Cahuesqui is a voter registration clerk in Defendant’s office. Cahuasqui Depo. 6:23-25; 7:14. B. Broward County’s Voter Registration Database Is Tightly Linked to Florida’s Statewide Voter Registration Database. 8. Pursuant to the Help America Vote Act of 2002, Florida maintains a statewide voter registration database, which is referred to as a Florida Voter Registration System (“FVRS”). The DOE manages FVRS. Snipes 1st Depo. 48:14-20. 9. Broward County uses a voter registration database system that was developed by VR Systems, Inc. (“VR Systems”), an outside vendor with which the Defendant contracts. Snipes 1st Depo. 174:22-175:6. The database, often referred to by Defendant and her employees as the “VR System,” interfaces directly with FVRS. Snipes 1st Depo. 175:13-15. 10. In addition to Broward County, VR Systems supplies its voter registration database system to most other Florida counties. Snipes 1st Depo. 170:19-171:8. C. The Florida Department of State’s Division of Elections Prescribes the Procedures and Schedule Governing the County’s Voter Registration and List Maintenance Processes 11. When Defendant receives a new voter registration application, Defendant’s employees enter the applicant’s information into the county voter registration database. The applicant’s registration is initially placed in “pending” status. Hall Depo. 19:8-10. Before the 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000590 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT applicant can be registered to vote, the application must be sent to the DOE, which checks the applicant’s information against four databases: a Social Security database, Florida driver’s license records, the Florida Health and Human Services, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Snipes 1st Depo. 42:6-13; 46-47; Hall Depo. 17:19-25. The DOE also screens for duplicate registrations by checking the new registrant’s information against the FVRS. Snipes Depo 151:15-151:22. After its clearance checks, the DOE informs Defendant that the applicant is cleared to be registered. Hall Depo. 71:16-18. 12. After receiving DOE clearance, Defendant changes the voter’s status from “pending” to “active,” and the applicant is mailed a Voter Information Card, sent by nonforwardable mail. Hall Depo. 17:16-18; Snipes 1st Depo. 42:14-18, 43:14-16. 13. In addition, the DOE establishes a schedule which sets forth the timeline that Florida county supervisors of elections must follow in conducting their voter-roll maintenance. Snipes 1st Depo. 139:15-21. 14. In accordance with DOE requirements, twice each year, the Defendant provides the DOE with two certifications summarizing her list-maintenance activities. The first certification, called a Certification of Address List Maintenance Activities, reports the actions taken by Defendant to identify registrants who have changed residence, to cancel the registrations of those who no longer reside in Broward County, and to update those of registrants who have moved within the county. The second certification, called a Certification of Eligibility Records Maintenance, reports the actions taken by Defendant to remove registrants who are or have become ineligible because of death, felony conviction, mental incapacity, or because they are not U.S. citizens. See Init. Certs; Amd. Certs. 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000591 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT 15. The DOE regularly provides the Supervisors of Elections in Florida’s counties, including Defendant, with lists of registrants who are deceased or have been convicted of a felony. Defendant uses the information to update the county’s voter registration database and remove voters who have become ineligible. Snipes 1st Depo. 49:21-50:17; 141:13-19; Hall Depo. 48:15-49:2; Cahuasqui Depo. 9:13-23. That information is transmitted electronically through FVRS. Snipes 1st Depo. 141:20-23. III. DEFENDANT USES SEVERAL TOOLS TO IDENTIFY AND REMOVE VOTERS WHO ARE INELIGIBLE DUE TO A CHANGE IN RESIDENCE FROM BROWARD COUNTY’S VOTER REGISTRATION ROLLS 16. In accordance with Florida law, Defendant uses three processes to identify and update or remove voters from the Broward County voter rolls when those voters have changed residence: notifications to voters who have filed a forwarding address with the U.S. Postal Service (“USPS”); mailings related to voting matters to all registrants in the county; and targeted mailings to registrants who have not voted for a period of time. Fla. Stat. § 98.075; Snipes 1st Depo. 64:20-65:8; 66:4-68:4; Hall Depo. 37:4-18. 17. All of these mailings, as well as the mailing of Voter Information Cards, are done by Commercial Printers. Hall Depo. 17:16-18; Snipes 1st Depo. 34:20-22; 22:24-25, 42:14-18. 18. For the Voter Information Cards and other countywide mailings, the SOE’s office—specifically Jorge Nuñez and the staff he oversees—sends a list of voters to Commercial Printers, which processes and mails the notices. Declaration of Jorge L. Nuñez (“Nuñez Decl.”) ¶¶ 10-15; Snipes 1st Depo 19:16-25; 35:18-23; 143:13-144:7. A. Defendant Uses National Change of Address Information to Update or Remove Voters Who Have Changed Residence. 19. Defendant uses information from the U.S. Postal Service’s National Change of Address (“NCOA”) program in her list-maintenance efforts. Snipes Depo. 65:7-8; 91:2; 96:155 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000592 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT 19. This is an activity that Defendant does in odd-numbered years. Deposition of Dr. Brenda Snipes, April 26, 2017, (“Snipes 2d Depo”), at 15:7-16. Defendant performed list maintenance activities using NCOA change-of-address information in 2015, 2013, 2011, and 2009. Amd. Certs.; 2009 Init. Cert. (July 30, 2009); see also Snipes 2d Depo. Ex. 4, Invoice to Commercial Printers dated 5/29/2015 (“NCOA of all voter records”). 20. To identify voters with changes of address, Defendant sends voter data from VR Systems to Commercial Printers, which is licensed and certified by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to use a program called NCOALink. Nuñez Decl. ¶ 10. Using NCOALink, Commercial Printers receives updated, computerized change-of-address information on a regular basis. Id. 21. Defendant in turn receives an updated file from Commercial Printers, which it imports into a software program called Voter Focus. Nuñez Decl. ¶ 11. The records are automatically queued in the system for the office’s Voter Service’s team to process, in accordance with VR Systems’ instructions. Nuñez Decl. ¶ 12. Once those records are processed, a forwardable notice is automatically scheduled to be sent to the appropriate voters, based on the processing history. Nuñez Decl. ¶ 13. 22. One such notice is the “Final Notice.” Nuñez Decl. ¶ 14. Once a Final Notice is sent to a voter identified through the NCOA matching process, if the voter does not respond within thirty days, the voter’s status is changed from “active” to “inactive” in the VR Systems database. Nuñez Decl. ¶ 18. Once a voter is designated “inactive,” that voter may become “active” again if the voter votes, appears to vote, or contacts the SOE (such as by updating her address or requesting a vote-by-mail ballot), for two general federal election cycles. Nuñez Decl. ¶ 19. 6 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000593 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT If that voter does not vote or contact the Defendant’s office in two general 23. election cycles, the SOE changes their status to “ineligible,” and the person is no longer registered to vote. Hall Depo 41:6-14; Nuñez Decl. ¶ 20. 24. The most recent NCOA comparison was conducted in May 2015. Snipes 2d Depo. Ex. 4. IV. DEFENDANT HAS A ROBUST PROCESS FOR REMOVING DECEASED VOTERS FROM THE REGISTRATION ROLLS 25. Defendant takes consistent and regular action to remove deceased voters from the county registration rolls based on information she receives from the DOE. Snipes Depo. 49:2150:17; Hall Depo. 48:15-49:2. 26. Each day, the DOE provides the Defendant with a list of voters who have recently died. Snipes Depo. 49:21-50:5. DOE transmits the lists of deceased voters electronically through FVRS. Snipes Depo. 75:19-22. As the information has already been verified, Defendant cancels those voter registration records upon receiving the list from DOE, without the need to send a notice or take other steps to confirm the information. Hall Depo. 48:15-49:2; Snipes Depo. 49:21-50:13. 27. Defendant occasionally receives information indicating a registrant is deceased from sources other than DOE. If the SOE’s office is informed of a registrant’s death by a family member, the office will ask for a copy of the death certificate and, if provided, will remove the registrant from the rolls. Snipes Depo. 149:9-14. If the SOE’s office learns of a registrant’s death from a source other than a family member, she will attempt to contact a family member to get a copy of the death certificate by sending a mailing to the registrant’s last known address. Hall Depo. 48:24-49:18. If Defendant receives a copy of the death certificate, she will remove the registrant from the rolls. Hall Depo. 49:9-12. If there is no response to the mailing or if 7 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000594 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT Defendant is unable to get a copy of the death certificate, Defendant will send another notice and will also contact the DOE and ask them to investigate the voter’s status. Hall Depo. 49:9-18. Between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed 37,095 28. registrants from Broward County’s voter registration rolls because the registrant as determined to be deceased. Ineligible Voters, cannot be reinstated, From 01-01-2014 to 12-31-2016.pdf (“Inelig. Rep.”), at 17,781. V. DEFENDANT USES INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE DIVISION OF ELECTIONS TO REMOVEREGISTRATION RECORDS AND REGISTRANTS CONVICTED OF A FELONY 29. Each day, Defendant receives notifications of potential duplicate registrants from the DOE via FVRS. Snipes Depo. 152:6-153:6. Defendant then, on a daily basis, “consolidate[s] the registration and make[s] it one so only one registration would be active.” Hall Depo. 53:1954:6; see also id. 26-27; see also Cahuasqui Depo. 26:23-25 (registrant has the same voter registration number as long as they remain in state). The correct county of residence is determined by the most-recently provided update to the voter’s record. Hall Depo. 54:7-19. [Input cite to Dr. Snipes’s Jan depo in SUF.] 30. Between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed more than 9,000 duplicate registrants. Inelig. Rep. at 17,781. 31. Defendant also takes consistent and regular action to remove registrants who are convicted of a felony based on information she receives from the DOE. Snipes Depo. 49:2150:17; 141:13-19; Hall Depo. 48:15-49:2. 32. Defendant’s office receives an electronic list of individuals with a felony conviction from DOE on a daily basis. Cahuasqui Depo 9:3-10:24. Defendant then generates a letter to mail to each registrant on that list. Cahuasqui Depo. 9:13-23. The registrant has 30 days 8 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000595 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT to reply, to either confirm or contest the state’s information. If there is no reply, Defendant publishes a notice in the newspaper. If there is no response within another 30 days, the registrant is automatically removed from the rolls. Cahuasqui Depo. 9:24-10:8; Snipes Depo. 85:7-18; Hall Depo. 46:1-47:8. 33. Unlike other mailings conducted by Defendant, mailings to individuals convicted of a felony are handled by Defendant rather than Commercial Printers. Hall Depo. 47:24-48:1. 34. From January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016, Defendant removed 5,102 registrants from the voter rolls for “Civil Rights, etc.” (felony conviction). Inelig. Rep. 17,781. VI. DEFENDANT ROUTINELY TAKES STEPS TO REMOVE NON-CITIZENS FROM THE ROLLS 35. The Florida voter registration form and the National Voter Registration Form each require applicants to affirm their citizenship under penalty of perjury. See Fla. Stat. Ann. § 97.052(2)(s); 52 U.S.C. § 20508(b)(2). 36. The Department of Homeland Security occasionally sends individuals applying for citizenship to Defendant’s office to get a document indicating whether or not the individual has registered to vote. If such an individual is found to have registered to vote as a non-citizen, Defendant immediately removes the person from the rolls. Snipes Depo. 127:17-25, 128:1-11. 37. Between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed four registrants from the voter rolls as non-U.S. Citizens. Inelig. Rep. DEFENDANT’S LIST-MAINTENANCE EFFORTS ROUTINELY RESULT IN SUBSTANTIAL NUMBERS OF INELIGIBLE VOTERS BEING REMOVED FROM BROWARD COUNTY’S VOTER ROLLS. 38. The number of registrants removed from the county’s voter rolls and the number VII. of in-county address updates confirms that the Defendant is conducting a substantial amount of 9 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000596 DRAFT CONFIDENTIAL ATTORNEY WORK PRODUCT list maintenance. Dr. Daniel A. Smith, Expert Rebuttal in Response to Expert Declaration of Scott E. Gessler (“Smith Rebuttal”), at 5. 39. Between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed approximately 240,028 registrants form the voter rolls in Broward County. Inelig. Rep. at 17,781. 40. Likewise, between January 7, 2015 and January 10, 2017, Broward County removed approximately 192,157 registered voters from its voter rolls, including approximately 108,152 Inactive voters and approximately 83,052 Active voters. Smith Rebuttal at 3. 41. Approximately 148,645 registered voters who lived within Broward County who were registered as of January 7, 2015, and who were still registered in the county as of January 10, 2017, updated their street address to a new address within Broward County.

Snipes Final Corrections November 24, 2018 Dear Mr. President, BOLD is now of the opinion that this country's sovereignty has been turned over to so-called white skinned central Americans and/or over to all other white skinned Europeans sir. This is very a dangerous analysis because we believe that these forces in the future eventually will join together for the purposes of replacing so-called white skinned United States Americans. Therefore, putting the future of American born children at risk of a possible takeover or overthrowing of the country when they are of age to run the federal government in 2059 thru 2099. It is BOLD opinion this happened because US Leaders in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s placed a devaluation of American citizenship, so they could go into these foreign countries and rape them of important resources. They renamed earmarked anti-poverty funds that can only be approved by Mrs. Mary L. Hill founder of EOPI and National Regional Community Service Director to humanitarian aide, Community Development Block Grant funds, Social Service Block Grants, Welfare, Affordable Housing Funds, Community Redevelopment Funds in the 1990s under the Clinton administration. Now sir, you are having a difficult time closing this Pandora box because Illegal voting and election stealing by foreigners have replaced the children of former slaves legal standing to American lands because election fraud and the stealing of America from Americans is now a way of life because non-citizens or green card holders are prohibited by federal INS law to serves in restrictive employment or elected offices throughout Congress and beyond; whereas they are changing US laws to fit their own future agendas and purposes which is why foreign influences control all political parties now. In addition they run any and all Economic Opportunity Act earmarked funding programs under Public Laws 88452, 92-424, 93-644 and 95-568 fraudulently in Miami and beyond that were passed by Congress in 1960s to help poor black and white natural born Americans out of poverty. These anti-poverty programs were hijacked by foreign born citizens in the 1980s under the Carter Administration. These earmarked anti-poverty funds are now unlawfully being used aiding illegal immigrants and non-citizens that helps improve their lives and not black Americans under the right legally established setup. A number of black Americans are disappointed with America because fromFL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000599 their shared sacrifices and loyalty in helping to fight in US wars, the country would rather free non-citizens from their inhumane conditions before letting natural born black citizens used these earmarked anti-poverty funds created in part for them to receive their full-fledged citizenship as mentioned in the 14th Amendment. Mr. President children of former slaves whose families been here since 1619. We were given full American citizenship with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the passing of 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1868. Sir, no other group of people coming into this country have remained more loyal than natural born black Americans. We cared for white America's lands, protect their families, nursed their babies and gave our life's protecting and defending the United States Constitution, yet we are hated by every elected member serving in the Congress who would rather see illegals and foreign born citizens out of their poverty and not natural born black Americans. Our black children are being displaced and separated from their families every day because foreign born judges, prosecutors, police officials and defense attorneys use allegedly fake and fraudulent evidence to convict and incarcerate black men i.e. Drewery Geter in order to put them in prisons and use a judicial scheme that takes away their civil rights, human rights and voting rights done intentionally to destroy and separate black children; which also destroys black women and/or wives who later becomes prey and/or victims of these foreign born influences or non-citizens. Foreign influences that ultimately impregnate these black poor women leaving behind illegitimate families that will eventually wipe out or replace the legitimacy of both black and white races. We need your help Mr. President to save the natural born black citizens race in America from such a threat of destroying and erasing our families black history long after we are gone from this place. That's why Miami Dade County and it's home rule charter must be demolished or abolished to strike that last blow to Jim Crowism and expose Miami Dade County and the City of Miami as being a sanctuary city or county, since so many foreign born citizens or non-citizens serves in elected offices without being citizens of the United States of America. See 18 USC 611. These citizens have stolen America from Americans. We need signing Service her and your help sir in restoring black citizen's pride, dignity and respect that must come with your an executive order enforcing the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, 1967, 1972, 1978 and the Community Act of 1974 once and for all thus returning Mrs. Mary L. Hill to her position and justly compensating her children for this alleged wrongful doing. BOLD thank you sir for your time and attention. We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New years!

Snipes November 12, 2018 Dear President Trump, Governor Rick Scott and Ron Desantis, Re: Election Contests B.O.L.D. is writing to request that you not permit Dr. Brenda Snipes and the DEMOCRATIC party to spin the party committing election fraud and/or make it appear that Governor Scott and Mr. Desantis is denying voters the right to have illegal votes counted in the 2018 general elections. Dr. Snipes is now taking her alleged talking points from the Democratic party who acts of fraud are treasonous because foreign influences and non-citizens serving in Congress and various other elected offices throughout this country are promoting anarchy, lawlessness and the overthrowing of the US at the lowest levels of governments. See US Sup Ct Case #17-6620 and 4DCA 18-2221. Mr. President and Governor Scott it appears everytime Dr. Snipes work with her party allegedly to steal or disrupt an election she makes excuses and never take blame as the elected official in charge for management; this is why I sought her position in 2015, but withdrew to focus my attention on Clerk of the Circuit Court in Miami Dade County becoming first person in the State of Florida to run for 5 or 6 elected together in 2015 thru 2016. Sirs both these counties are known allegedly for stealing elections and/or for committing election fraud to keep their power and/or elect persons who will not help enforcement of the Economic Opportunity Acts and Amendments. See Public Laws 88-452, 92-424, 93-644 and 95-568 whereas they have been blocking in Miami Dade County since 1980s the establishment of the National Regional Community Service Administration headed by a Mrs. Mary L. Hill founder of EOPI and National CSA Director to authorize the approval of earmarked antipoverty funds to alleviate absolute and abject poverty for poor natural born black and white Americans within these United States. Nevertheless, it is our duty to protect the integrity of all elections because "election is the process of choosing a person to fill an office. An election contest is a right of action conferred on every candidate to contest the certification of nomination or the certificate of vote as made by the appropriate officials in any election. It is a post-election contest between two competing candidates. Fraud, corruption, or irregularities in regard to the method of holding an election in a division can affect the entire vote. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000601 Thus an election contest is a special proceeding created by the legislature to provide a remedy for elections tainted by fraud, illegality, or other irregularity. Generally, there are two types of election contests: Motion seeking to oust and replace the certified winner; and Motion seeking to declare an election void altogether. The fundamental purpose of an election contest is to ascertain the true will of the electorate. Moreover, an election contest provides a simple and speedy means of contesting elections. Additionally, an election contest presupposes a full and fair litigation of election disputes in an expeditious manner. The remedy provided in an election contest is a statutory one and equity cannot be invoked to determine an election’s validity. An election can be contested only for matters that would impeach the fairness of the result. any public office can be contested on the following grounds: An election to When illegal votes have been received; When legal votes rejected at the polls, sufficient to change the result; Where any error is committed by any board of canvassers in counting the votes or declaring the result of the election. There is no provision under the common law to contest an election. The right to contest an election exists only under the constitutional and statutory provisions. An election contest is a special statutory proceeding. One who seeks the benefit of a statutory proceeding must comply with all the procedural terms of the statute. Courts cannot exceed the provisions of applicable statutes in resolving election contests. Thus the procedure proscribed by a state must be strictly followed in deciding election contests. The judicial determination of election contests requires strict adherence to the constitutional and statutory provisions in the various jurisdictions. All candidates have the right to protest the returns of an election by filing a protest with the appropriate canvassing board. In order to contest election results, the petitioner must show that the result of the election will be different in the absence of irregularities. A candidate intending to contest the election of a member of the House of Representatives must file a notice of his/her intention to contest the election with the Board of Canvassers within thirty days after the result of the election. S/he must serve a copy of notice upon the contestee. The court or board authorized by statute or the constitution has jurisdiction to hear an election contest. The jurisdictional facts must appear on the face of the proceedings. raised at any time. However, jurisdictional defects can be A judge who may be affected by the result of the decision is disqualified from sitting in the hearing. proper or necessary parties to election contest proceedings are usually prescribed by each statute. The The right to contest an election is generally conferred on Electors; Candidates; or Both. However, a private citizen cannot initiate an election contest to remedy a public wrong. In order to seek a remedy under election contest, the petitioner must seek personal relief. A petition for an election contest must present more than mere charges of fraud and irregularity in the election. Specifications are necessary to avoid indefinite and indeterminable inquiry. In an election contest, courts usually grant such relief which the statutes specifically authorize. In deciding an election contest, the court can also uphold the entire election or declare it invalid; declare a winner of FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000602 the election or order a new election between the candidates; declare the election void if it concludes that it cannot determine the true outcome of the election; or conclude that a new election is the fairest way to ascertain the true will of the people. In many jurisdictions, statutory or constitutional provisions provide appeal from election contests available in many jurisdictions. Moreover, the judgment of the trial court can be stayed pending the decision of the appellate court. In reviewing the trial court’s findings of fact in an election contest, the appellate court will not disturb the trial court’s findings of fact unless those findings are plainly and palpably wrong and not supported by the evidence." Therefore, President Trump, Governor Scott and Mr. Desantis B.O.L.D. have included a number of statutes below for your review. We thank you in advance for time and attention.

FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000604 July 26, 2017 Office of the Secretary of State of Florida The Honorable Ken Detzner, Secretary of State R.A. Gray Bldg., 500 South Bronough Street Tallahassee, FL 32399 Dear Secretary Detzner, In my capacity as Vice Chair of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, I wrote to you on June 28, 2017, to request publicly available voter registration records. On July 10, 2017, the Commission staff requested that you delay submitting any records until the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled on a motion from the Electronic Privacy Information Center that sought to prevent the Commission from receiving the records. On July 24, 2017, the court denied that motion. In light of that decision in the Commission’s favor, I write to renew the June 28 request, as well as to answer questions some States raised about the request’s scope and the Commission’s intent regarding its use of the registration records. I appreciate the cooperation of chief election officials from more than 30 States who have already responded to the June 28 request and either agreed to provide these publicly available records, or are currently evaluating what specific records they may provide in accordance with their State laws. Like you, I serve as the chief election official of my State. And like you, ensuring the privacy and security of any non-public voter information is a high priority. My June 28 letter only requested information that is already available to the public under the laws of your State, which is information that States regularly provide to political candidates, journalists, and other interested members of the public. As you know, federal law requires the States to maintain certain voter registration information and make it available to the public pursuant to the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). The Commission recognizes that State laws differ regarding what specific voter registration information is publicly available. I want to assure you that the Commission will not publicly release any personally identifiable information regarding any individual voter or any group of voters from the voter registration records you submit. Individuals’ voter registration records will be kept confidential and secure throughout the duration of the Commission’s existence. Once the Commission’s analysis is FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000605 complete, the Commission will dispose of the data as permitted by federal law. The only information that will be made public are statistical conclusions drawn from the data, other general observations that may be drawn from the data, and any correspondence that you may send to the Commission in response to the narrative questions enumerated in the June 28 letter. Let me be clear, the Commission will not release any personally identifiable information from voter registration records to the public. In addition, to address issues raised in recent litigation regarding the data transfer portal, the Commission is offering a new tool for you to transmit data directly to the White House computer system. To securely submit your State’s data, please have a member of your staff contact Ron Williams on the Commission’s staff at ElectionIntegrityStaff@ovp.eop.gov and provide his or her contact information. Commission staff will then reach out to your point of contact to provide detailed instructions for submitting the data securely. The Commission will approach all of its work without preconceived conclusions or prejudgments. The Members of this bipartisan Commission are interested in gathering facts and going where those facts lead. We take seriously the Commissions’ mission pursuant to Executive Order 13799 to identify those laws, rules, policies, activities, strategies, and practices that either enhance or undermine the integrity of elections processes. I look forward to working with you in the months ahead to advance those objectives. Sincerely, Kris W. Kobach Vice Chair Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000606 RICK SCOTT KEN DETZN ER Governor Secretary of State July 6, 2017 The Honorable Kris W. Kobach Secretary of State Memorial Hall, 1St Floor 120 SW 10th Avenue Topeka, KS 66612-1594 Dear Secretary Kobach, The right to vote is one of the most sacred rights available in the democratic process. Any efforts to dilute its importance cannot be taken As you know, people have died for the right to vote and we must ensure we preserve it. Of course, the responsibility for the accuracy and fairness of our election process in Florida lies on us, not with the federal government in Washington. As Governor Scott often says, in Florida, our goal for each election is to have 100 percent participation of eligible voters with zero fraud. We take this mission extremely seriously and work each day to ensure that Floridians can participate in fair, honest elections. In fact, in 2016, we are proud that Florida had record turnout and a smooth, secure election which re?ected the will of the people of Florida. The Department of State constantly works with Florida?s 67 independent Supervisors of Elections to increase access to voting for Floridians. This includes legislation in 2013 that gave Supervisors of Elections more ?exibility in setting early voting hours and locations to ?t their communities? needs and limiting the length of ballots in Florida to help prevent long lines at the polls. On June 28, 2017, you requested certain voter roll information, much of which is publicly available to you under the Florida Public Records Law, Chapter 119 of Florida Statute. In fact, each year, our of?ce already ful?lls hundreds of public records requests for some of the same information that you have requested. We are glad to continue following Florida?s Public Records Law by providing the requested information to you that is publicly available. R.A. Gray Building - 500 South Bronough Street 0 Tallahassee, Florida 32399 850.245.6500 - 850.245.6125 (Fax) DOS.MyFlorida.com Page 2 Secretary Kobach Although most of the information you?ve requested is available to the public in Florida, we cannot fully comply with your entire request. Driver?s license information and social security numbers are not, and cannot be provided under section 97.0585, Florida Statutes. We will also not release any information that is exempt or con?dential under Florida law, including certain information regarding law enforcement of?cers, judges, prosecutors, and victims of stalking and domestic violence. Additionally, Florida?s public record voter database does not capture information on felonies. We are hopeful that the public information provided, in accordance with Florida law, will be useful to your efforts.

FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000610 Fwd: Integrated Draft of Pre-Trial Stip Burnadette Norris-Weeks [bnorris@bnwlegal.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 12, 2017 7:33 AM To: Michelle Austin [maustin@apnwlaw.com]; Lisa K. Crawford [lisacrawford954@gmail.com]; Dr. Brenda C. Snipes Cc: Jorge Nunez; Mary Hall Attachments:Snipes+SEIU Pretrial Draf~1.docx (42 KB) ; Quarantined Attachment.txt (406 B) Confidential Attorney/Client Communications As an FYI, this is a pre-trial draft of a document that we will need to confer with the Plaintiffs on and then eventually file with the Court soon. The plaintiffs did the first draft. I, along with the intervenors modified their document (not sure if redlines are showing) and put in our own version of the facts and law. Don't worry about the start of the document with their facts as we each have our own sections. We all have a portion of the document where we place the facts that will be relevant to what we will each present. This document, while not complete, is basically a roadmap for where we are with trial preparation matters and what the court still has to decide and more importantly, what we are all saying. Later today, I'll forward already filed documents that will contain some similar language but will give more detail of everyones positions. Once the Defendant sees the attached document again they will likely object to certain portions ....so it may be slightly modified. This is a good document for you to review in order to determine if anything is inaccurate. Jorge - on the question of what we discussed of whether VR has the capability of pulling the NVRA data that we discussed, it appears that you produced some documents in the second batch of production where ineligible voters that cannot be reinstated was mentioned. I think it was 0101 2014 - 12/31/16. Mary testified that the system could not pull this info, however, we see this info on the document and need to be able to understand how the system produced reports. It is important that we are able to produce the reports because NVRA requires, at a minimum, that we are able to list the names and addresses of all persons to whom notices are sent and show whether or not each such person has responded to the notice at the time of an inspection. It could be that if a person is looking at the computer they can see the info there but the info cannot be printed for some reason. Let's talk Jorge. Do not write me back let's talk by telephone. I am writing from my cellphone so forgive any typos.

Snipes, Trial Es mate Good afternoon! Checking on the request for a split of the transcript costs. I am including the cost breakdown. Let me know either way what everyone decides to do, so I may begin transcription. The trial transcript is an estimated 2,000 pages. The rates for a two-way split are $4.92/page. Plaintiff would pay for 1,000 pages. Defendant Intervenor would pay for 1,000 pages. The rate for a three-way split is $5.02/page. Plaintiff would pay for 666 pages, Defendant 666 pages. Defendant Intervenor 666 pages. If there is no split, the rate is $4.02/page for the full 2,000 pages. Also, keep in mind any pages the parties have already purchased will be deducted from their final amount. No one will be charged twice for those pages. Thank you!

Chambless Clay County Supervisor of Elections 500 N. Orange Ave. Green Cove Springs, FL 32043 Dear Mr. Chambless: I am writing on behalf of the Public Interest Legal Foundation to notify you that your county is in apparent violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act based on our research. The Public Interest Legal Foundation is a nonpartisan, nonpro?t, public?interest law that specializes in conducting civil litigation in high?profile matters affecting elections, voting, and other political processes of the nation and providing the public with information regarding efforts to damage the integrity of American elections. Voter rolls across America contain substantial numbers of ineligible voters, resulting in the possible disenfranchisement of legally eligible voters via ballot dilution that threatens to taint the integrity of the electoral process. Based on our comparison of publicly available information published by the US. Census Bureau and the federal Election Assistance Commission, your county is failing to comply with Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NV RA). Federal law requires election of?cials to conduct a reasonable effort to maintain voter registration lists free of dead voters, ineligible voters and voters who have moved away; 52 U.S.C. 20503 and 20507. In short, your county has an implausible number of registered voters compared to the number of eligible living citizens. The Attorney General of the United States may enforce the list maintenance requirements of Section 8 of NVRA to ensure that ineligible voters are not participating in the political process, but she has failed to do so. Public Interest Le gal Foundation has therefore taken on the task of notifying you of your county?s violation. 209 West Main Street, Plainfield, Page 2 This letter serves as the statutory notice to your county, required by 52 U.S.C. 20510(b) prior to the commencement of any lawsuit in order to enforce provisions of Section 8 of the NVRA, 52 U.S.C. 20507. It is our hope that your county will work quickly towards full compliance with 52 U.S.C. 20507. If not, according to the federal statute, a lawsuit under the NVRA may be ?led twenty (2 0) days after the receipt of this notice by a private party since the NVRA contains a private right of action to enforce the provisions of the statute. For any lawsuits initiated by a private party, an award of attorney?s fees, expenses and costs incurred are available under 52 U.S.C. ?20510(c). If you believe the information reported by the Election Assistance Commission for 2014 (?2014 EAC Report?) or to the Secretary of State currently is inaccurate, please state the basis for that belief. In particular, if the publicly available information cited above is no longer accurate, it would be help?il if you could provide: updated registration data since the publication of the 2014 EAC report; records your office obtained or received from Florida district court clerks, United States District Court clerks, or other sources regarding individuals who were ineligible to serve on juries because of a lack of American citizenship, death, or relocation out of the jurisdiction, including but not limited to records concerning juror quali?cation questionnaires?whether completed via the Internet or returned through the mail?on which the individual that completed the questionnaire indicated that he or she is not a United States citizen, please include subsequent list maintenance records produced pursuant to inquiries based on this information; (0) the number of ineligible voters purged by category dead, duplicate, ineligible) and by date; the source agency that provided the identifying information of the purged deceased and when the data was provided; the number of notices sent to inactive voters since the publication of the 2014 EAC Report including the date, scope and contents of any countywide mailing to all registered voters; the names of the staff in your of?ce responsible for conducting list maintenance obligations who may appear on list maintenance records or who alter list maintenance records in furtherance of the duties of the office; the number of ineligible voters removed for criminal conviction, if applicable, and the date of the most recent dataset containing criminal convictions against which you compared voter lists, including communications with other agencies regardin criminal convictions; Page 3 the total number of voters registered in your county as of the date of your response; any records indicating the use of citizenship or immigration status for list maintenance activities, including but not limited to the Systematic Alien Veri?cation for Entitlements (SAVE) Program database. Any other records produced in reliance on other sources of citizenship veri?cation data; all list maintenance records including federal voter registration forms containing citizenship eligibility questionnaires for the last 22 months; Section 8 also requires your county of?ce to make available for public inspection ?all records concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of of?cial lists of eligible voters.? 52 U.S.C. 20507(i); See also, Project Vote 12. Long, Slip Op. 11?1809, (4th Cir. June 12, 2012) (The NVRA requires local election of?cials to provide voter registration data to the public). We would like to discuss with your of?ce how to implement a remedial plan which could cure what appears to be a violation of Section 8 of the NVRA. We also request the opportunity to inspect the list maintenance documents outlined above. Since steps necessary to ensure that only eligible voters are on the rolls will not involve signi?cant effort or cost, we believe it is reasonable to expect your county?s voter roll violations to be resolved before voting begins in the November 2016 elections. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please feel free to call to arrange a convenient time to discuss and arrange an inspection by contacting me at the below address or email. Sincerely, Shawna Powell, Secretary Public Interest Legal Foundation foia@publicinterestlegal.org CC: The Hon. Ken Detzner Florida Secretary of State R.A. Gray Building 500 South Bronough Street Tallahassee, FL 32399-0250 Chris H~ ChaIDhless Supervisor of Elections Clay County, Florida January 22, 2016 VIA EMAIL Shawna Powell Public Interest Legal Foundation 209 West Main Street Plainfield, Indiana 46168 Dear Mrs. Powell: I am writing to confirm receipt of your letter dated January 12, 2016. Regarding your assertion that Clay County, Florida and specifically the Clay County Supervisor of Elections Office is in violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act is completely unfounded. 98.065 FS outlines list maintenance activities, as well as, details the various procedures or paths that Supervisors of Elections can take in the performance of list maintenance. While supervisors must conduct at a minimum, in each odd-numbered year and must be completed not later than 90 days prior to the date of any federal election, Clay County chooses to conduct its list maintenance program every 90 days. Clay County utilizes change-of-address information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees which is used to identify registered voters whose addresses might have changed. In addition to our list maintenance activities, Clay County aggressively pursues information it receives through the Florida Voter Registration Statewide Database (FVRS) or other reporting agencies that provide details in questioning a voter's eligibility due to American citizenship, death, or confirmed felony convictions. In my cursory review of your claim that "Your county has an implausible number of registered voters compared to the number of eligible living citizens." I reviewed the American FactFinder website provided by the United States Census Bureau and compared the ACS DEMOGRAPHIC AND HOUSING ESTIMATES for 2014 which reports an estimate of 153,872 for total population 18 and over. I then compare that number to our monthly voter registration numbers of each month of 2014 and I found the total number of registered voters in Clay County never exceeds 136,863 which is far below the ACS estimate. This fact alone directly discredits your claim and causes me to question the accuracy of your own sources. Therefore, I request the names of all individuals and documentation that supports your claim so that we may properly investigate this matter rather than relying on generalities and estimates. P.O. Box 337 • • Green Cove Springs, FL 32043 500 N. Orange Ave. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000653 (904) 269-6350 • Fax (904) 284-0935 While we are discussing accuracy in sources, I would like to point out two concerns I have with using the census as the basis for population. First, the US Census is nothing more than an estimate of population within a jurisdiction. Second, Clay County hosts a military community with its members often deployed but permitted to remain registered in their home county, as well as, a large transient population of travelers who reside in RVs and boats elsewhere. In my opinion, both of the points provided would distort the basis for population compansons. In conclusion, to satisfy the FOIA portion of your letter, I provide the following; 1.

REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1: All records and communications relating to the creation or revision of the Certifications of List Maintenance and other documents produced FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000665 by Defendant on March 8, 2017, which included the documents attached to this request as Exhibit A. RESPONSE: Using Plaintiff’s broad interpretation of discovery contemplated by the Court’s March 27, 2017 Order -- as argued by Plaintiff’s counsel during the deposition of Dr. Brenda Snipes on or about April 26, 2017, the following documents are hereby provided: 1. a) 3/28/2014 email from Dr. Brenda Snipes to employees regarding Project Integrity, including a 3/272014 Memorandum from Ken Detzner, Secretary of State RE: Project Integrity; b) Election Date Calendar 2015-2017 from the Florida Division of Elections. See Exhibit “A”. REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2: All records showing the number of total registered voters, both active and inactive, in Broward County for each month during the time periods covered by the Certifications of List Maintenance and other documents produced by Defendant on March 8, 2017, attached as Exhibit A. These time periods include: July-Dec 2011, July-Dec 2012, July-Dec 2013, Jan-June 2014, July-Dec 2015, July-Dec 2016. RESPONSE: Active voters by month for the periods requested are available on the Supervisor of Elections website: browardsoe.org. Instructions: Go to the website and look under Election Information and then Voter Statistics. Inactive voters are not available on the website. Inactive voters become active or ineligible at various points in time. The VR System is constantly updating and inactive voters are no longer available in the format requested in its entirety. Some reports were captured and could 2 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000666 be considered responsive. Those reports were sent in a separate DROPBOX document from Jorge Nunez on 5/5/17. REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: Invoices or other records showing the purported mass-mailings, NCOA mailings, and targeted mailings done in July-Dec 2011 and July-Dec 2012. In her opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel and Re-Open Discovery, Defendant Snipes represented that the mass mailings in the revised certifications "came as no surprise" to ACRU because they were "shown by discovery" and "documents were sent and received from Commercial Printing." No documents whatsoever have been received by ACRU correlating to purported mass-mailings done in 2011 or 2012. RESPONSE: Objection to the extent that the Court’s Order relates specifically to documents from 2013 forward. Objection to the extent that the question is confusing. Without waiving said objection, any and all responsive records have been produced or are no longer available. Deposition testimony has clearly revealed that (at all relevant times) mass mailings were conducted on a regular and consistent basis as required by law. Hundreds of invoices have been previously provided showing mass-mailings, NCOA mailings, and targeted mailings performed by Defendant Snipes. 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000667 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 4: All records and communications relating to the production to ACRU in discovery of the Certifications of List Maintenance and other documents produced by Defendant on March 8, 2017, attached as Exhibit A. RESPONSE: See attached all available records for the periods requested in the DROPBOX email from Jorge Nunez dated 5/5/17. REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 5: All records and communications relating to the filing of the Certifications of List Maintenance and other documents produced by Defendant on March 8, 2017, attached as Exhibit A, with the State of Florida and the relevant state agencies.

Last fall the Department of State launched Project Integitg a series of publicly noticed workshops around the state to seek your collaboration for the proposed addition of a new process to ensure the integrity and safeguarding of our voter rolls. From the beginning, I have said that the law requires state officials to ensure that the voter rolls are accurate and only contain eligible voters. An ineligible vote nullifi es I an eligible vote. I don?t think that?s fair to Floridians- It is our statutory duty and responsibility to maintain updated voter rolls. We fought for access to the Department of Homeland Security?s (DHS) Systematic Alien Veri?cation for Entitlements (SAVE) pro gram because we knew it would give us added access to additional credible and reliable information. Once we gained access to the database, we worked to deveIOp a new proposed process to remove ineligible persons on the voter rolls. Our most recent focus has been to ?nalize internal case management procedures, conduct pre~ launch testing and quality control analysis of program codes and procedures, and put the ?nal touches to the Department of State?s trairn'ng' webinar. In early February, we redei'ved notice that the SAVE program would be undergoing a mold-phase redesign. On February 23, Phase One was of?cially launched and included, at a minim a revised screen design, new ?elds and features. We also learned that Phase II is expected to include more UnSpeci?ed expanded and enhanced functionalities for SAVE. These changes will enhance and improve the credibility and reliability of the potential ineligible matches, but DHS anticipates Phase Two Will not be complete untii 2015. RA.

As Supervisors of Elections, it still remains your responsibility, should you receive information regarding potentially ineligible voters, to review and make a determination of removal to maintain updated voter rolls. It has always been our duty to ensure the integrity of the voter rolls. must provide public trust, con?dence and transparency in a credible and reliable process, and afford due process protection to every voter.

I will send this using gmail since the file is large and can’t be included in the email. She did not verify if they voted or not, nor did she check if their felony convic ons was before or a er they cast their ballot. I took the liberty of having my so ware check which felons she removed voted in 2016 and have summarized them in an excel spread sheet. I couldn’t pay for all 900 felons but had her office kindly randomly select 2 felons from the list and those 2 were confirmed to have felony convic ons prior to cas ng their ballot. I would encourage you to contact Dr. Snipes office, they were fully coopera ve with me. I am sure they will provide you the same hospitality. I did a similar report to Miami Dade state a orney office and they are working on it. I would highly recommend you contact them.

Gray Bldg., 500 South Bronough Street Tallahassee, FL 32399 Dear Secretary Detzner, In my capacity as Vice Chair of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity, I wrote to you on June 28, 2017, to request publicly available voter registration records. On July 10, 2017, the Commission staff requested that you delay submitting any records until the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ruled on a motion from the Electronic Privacy Information Center that sought to prevent the Commission from receiving the records. On July 24, 2017, the court denied that motion. In light of that decision in the Commission’s favor, I write to renew the June 28 request, as well as to answer questions some States raised about the request’s scope and the Commission’s intent regarding its use of the registration records. I appreciate the cooperation of chief election officials from more than 30 States who have already responded to the June 28 request and either agreed to provide these publicly available records, or are currently evaluating what specific records they may provide in accordance with their State laws. Like you, I serve as the chief election official of my State. And like you, ensuring the privacy and security of any non-public voter information is a high priority. My June 28 letter only requested information that is already available to the public under the laws of your State, which is information that States regularly provide to political candidates, journalists, and other interested members of the public. As you know, federal law requires the States to maintain certain voter registration information and make it available to the public pursuant to the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) and the Help America Vote Act (HAVA). The Commission recognizes that State laws differ regarding what specific voter registration information is publicly available. I want to assure you that the Commission will not publicly release any personally identifiable information regarding any individual voter or any group of voters from the voter registration records you submit. Individuals’ voter registration records will be kept confidential and secure throughout the duration of the Commission’s existence. Once the Commission’s analysis is FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000735 complete, the Commission will dispose of the data as permitted by federal law. The only information that will be made public are statistical conclusions drawn from the data, other general observations that may be drawn from the data, and any correspondence that you may send to the Commission in response to the narrative questions enumerated in the June 28 letter. Let me be clear, the Commission will not release any personally identifiable information from voter registration records to the public. In addition, to address issues raised in recent litigation regarding the data transfer portal, the Commission is offering a new tool for you to transmit data directly to the White House computer system. To securely submit your State’s data, please have a member of your staff contact Ron Williams on the Commission’s staff at ElectionIntegrityStaff@ovp.eop.gov and provide his or her contact information. Commission staff will then reach out to your point of contact to provide detailed instructions for submitting the data securely. The Commission will approach all of its work without preconceived conclusions or prejudgments. The Members of this bipartisan Commission are interested in gathering facts and going where those facts lead. We take seriously the Commissions’ mission pursuant to Executive Order 13799 to identify those laws, rules, policies, activities, strategies, and practices that either enhance or undermine the integrity of elections processes. I look forward to working with you in the months ahead to advance those objectives. Sincerely, Kris W.

Snipes Subject: RE: Follow-up: Elec on law viola on by Snipes office Mark, I understand that you may be interested in trying the Canova case against the Broward County Supervisor of Election in the media (as you told us by telephone you did not have a problem doing) but for your to go back and mischaracterize other cases makes me clearly understand some people feel that the media is dishonest. Please see my comments below: Before the election last year, her office mistakenly sent out some absentee ballots to voters that failed to list a popular medical marijuana measure that ultimately passed by wide margins, but not before the office was sued by the Florida chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. There was a trial in this case. Four test ballots were accidentally added by our off-site printer. This case was tried and the Broward County Supervisor of Election office prevailed. In another case during the election, the office mailed out about 1,700 ballots that had the word “no” in Creole where it should have said “wi” for “yes.” Ballots were reduced to a precinct and there was no such case ever filed. This is not true. Please correct this information. Right before the general election, the Republican Party of Florida sued Snipes for the way in which her office handled the opening of absentee ballots. The matter was settled promptly, but the party refiled its lawsuit to get a court order enforcing the procedures. That case is ongoing. There was NEVER a “settlement” with Snipes of any such issue. The office opened FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000739 the ballots properly, however, the Republican Party wanted their own suggested procedure followed. The Republican Party does not have a legitimate case. Please correct this information. Meanwhile, Snipes is defending herself in another lawsuit over the way the office removes ineligible voters from the rolls. That case, filed in federal court in South Florida by the conservative American Civil Rights Union, alleges Broward had more registered voters than voting-age population. Snipes office denies the charges and says ACRU is using outdated census information. Progressive groups say ACRU’s goal is to suppress minority votes, an accusation the group denies. This lawsuit is purely political and was strategically filed in the bluest state in Florida. You obviously have no interest in covering any defenses raised by the Broward SOE or the fact that the Plaintiff sends its witnesses to different parts of the country on behalf of the Republican Party. Broward County has the most registered Democrats in Florida, 593,000. And the 254,000 Republicans are outnumbered by the more than 333,000 voters who are registered in neither major political party. During the trial, Snipes’ office also botched producing a voter-roll maintenance manual it was supposed to furnish after the suit was filed. There was a legal and contractual reason why the computer manual was not produced and it was well stated in discover. The court later ruled that it could be produced under seal. SOE Employees testified that they regularly use the electronic manual from the computer system. The computer manual is the most up-to-date manual. The rarely used hard copy manual contains printouts from the online computer manual -- which contains proprietary information from the vendor. This is proven because the manual was filed under seal as agreed to by the parties and approved by the Court. There was no issue of a “botched manual”. The office refers to the computer manual as the manual that they use. When it was discovered that there was a printed hard copy manual printed from the computer it was produced and the one section missing was also produced. The manual was found four days before trial, but the office didn’t produce it until the morning of the second day of trial. The following day, Snipes’ office admitted that a portion of the manual, concerning the process of removing voters, was missing. We hope that you will do the proper research and correct your article today. We sincerely hope that you will be fair in your representations to the public. I hope that it is NOT your intent to report that there were lawsuits and settlements that never took place. Also, you may consider researching Mr. Adams’ background. Seems that you are holding him out as a disinterested attorney just doing his job. If you do any investigation at all, you will see that is not the case. I will refrain from addressing your references to the prior Supervisor. Thank you.

Non-citizens voting the newest 'civil right' Wednesday, August 9, 2017 Steve Jordahl (OneNewsNow.com FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000750 Voting is considered a privilege that comes with American citizenship but there is a movement to give that privilege to noncitizens. New York City and San Francisco have given non-citizens the franchise – at least in some local elections. Six local governments in Maryland also allow resident aliens to vote, and College Park wants to be the seventh - with one additional twist, according to Bob Popper of Judicial Watch. "What they propose to do is particularly problematic," Popper says of College Park, "because they would not make any distinction between legal and not-legally present non-citizens." College Park, a city of 32,000 in Prince George's County, would allow citizens 28 days before the election to register to vote, and non-citizens can register to vote within 14 days of the election. It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, and states can say they can't vote in statewide contests either, but it's actually not illegal for cities or counties to allow the practice. The argument is that residents who have kids in local schools and pay local taxes should be allowed to vote on the government bodies that affect their lives. But that's not how it's supposed to work, Popper insists, because there is the "fundamental question of equity," he says. "People who are the citizens of this country," he says, "people who will have to pay any income taxes to support what happens, people who don't have another country where they can leave to as citizens, those people have a different relationship to the country than non-citizens." He also stresses the additional security and organization to keep separate ballots for citizens and non-citizens, increasing the odds that the latter can vote by accident – or by design – in national elections.

The Weekly News Alert is intended to provide situational awareness of the cyber risk landscape and cybersecurity best practices to election officials through open source news reporting and analysis by the EI-ISAC and other experts. If you would like to submit security-related stories that may be of interest to the elections community, please contact elections@cisecurity.org. --U.S. Election Infrastructure Security Update - U.S. House Committee on Oversight and Reform (5/22/2019) TLP: WHITE The U.S. House of Representative's Committee on Oversight and Reform held a hearing on "Securing U.S. Election Infrastructure and Protecting Political Discourse." This hearing examined the security of the nation’s election systems, including the government’s response to ongoing attempts by malicious actors to interfere in our elections, influence public opinion, and undermine U.S. electoral processes. Additionally, it examined the important role of state and local governments, as well as private sector partners, in protecting U.S. election security systems, infrastructure, and technology platforms. Witnesses that testified at the hearing included: Richard Salgado, Director of Law Enforcement and Information Security, Google; Nathaniel Gleicher, Head of Cybersecurity Policy, Facebook; Kevin Kane, Public Policy Manager, Twitter; Christopher Krebs, Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, DHS; Adam S. Hickey, Deputy Assistant Attorney General, Department of Justice; Ellen L. Weintraub, Commissioner, Federal Election Commission; Christy McCormick, Chairwoman, Election Assistance Commission; and Bill Galvin, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Massachusetts. · Government officials discussed both the initiatives and resources necessary to improve cybersecurity and combat social media interference. o Christopher Krebs testified that “auditability is a key tenant of cybersecurity” and that it is important to take “systems that don’t have paper out" and replace them with "systems with paper.” o Christy McCormick spoke about the need for additional resources and personnel at the EAC. o Ellen Weintraub testified that hidden money from foreign sources represents a significant vulnerability for American democracy. o Ellen Weintraub and Bill Galvin highlighted the need for greater congressional oversight of social media companies and information technology platforms to improve transparency about how, and by whom, political and campaign advertisements are financed. · Representatives from Facebook, Twitter, and Google testified about their improved information-sharing relationships with federal law enforcement since the 2016 election, but emphasized the need for continued coordination as our adversaries’ information operations and tactics evolve. o Facebook has increased the information required in order to purchase an ad on Facebook or Instagram and advertisers must confirm their identity before running ads to ensure foreign actors are not buying ads related to United States elections. These ads are placed into an ad library for seven years. In the library, users can find out how much was spent, how many times the political or issue ad was seen, as well as the demographics ofFL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000755 who saw it. Additionally, Facebook has several teams working across their various applications on elections, and has a team in place working to prepare for the 2020 elections. Facebook continues to develop their machine learning tools, which are used to detect, identify, and delete misinformation, unauthorized activity, and fake accounts that are related to elections. o Google has also started an ad library including transparency reports on election advertisements. Additionally, Google continues to partner with organizations like Voting Information Project to protect elections along with their Protect Your Election initiative program, which is a free service that was released in 2016. o In April 2019 Twitter rolled out a new policy dictating that users cannot share false or misleading information about how to participate in elections or civic events nor fake or misleading information intended to intimidate or dissuade voters from participating in an election. Additionally, the policy prohibits the creation of accounts that misrepresent their affiliation or share content that falsely represents its affiliation to a candidate, elected official, political party, electoral authority, or government entity. Twitter has also increased its ability to detect and ban automated accounts or bots from their services by utilizing reCAPTCHAs as well as making new accounts verify their identity through phone numbers and email addresses. They use internal automated tools to help them find accounts spreading misinformation and lock them until the account can verify it is legitimate. If this is not done the accounts are deactivated. Lastly, Twitter created a cross-functional team to focus specifically on elections and election-related issues to positively identify malicious activity and reduce it, while allowing legitimate activities. --Iranian Social Media Influence Network Taken Down - Politico 05/28/19 TLP: WHITE Facebook and Twitter have taken down an Iranian social media campaign used to spread disinformation and influence public opinion after receiving a tip from FireEye. Facebook has removed 51 Facebook accounts, 36 Pages, 7 Groups and 3 Instagram accounts that coordinated inauthentic behavior, while Twitter has removed more than 2,800 inauthentic accounts. This network of accounts originated in Iran. Over the course of the network's operation, it managed to obtain approximately 21,000 Facebook followers across all of its pages, and of these followers, 1,900 joined more than one page. Approximately 2,600 users followed one or more of the identified Instagram accounts. These accounts pushed both progressive and conservative political stances. Furthermore, some accounts impersonated real American individuals, including a handful of Republican political candidates that ran for seats in the House of Representatives in 2018. These Facebook accounts, groups, and pages and Twitter and Instagram accounts attempted to sway public opinion on topics like public figures and politics in the U.S. and UK, U.S. secessionist movements, Islam, Arab minorities in Iran, and the influence of Saudi Arabia in the Middle East. EI-ISAC Analyst Note: Foreign actors continue to use social media platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to attempt to sway public opinion and create ideological rifts within other nations. EI-ISAC recommends election offices report any activity or accounts they believe to be inauthentic or fake in order to reduce the impact of disinformation and foreign influence social media campaigns. These types of accounts and campaigns can be reported to Facebook or Twitter. Additionally, election offices are encouraged to leverage the EI-ISAC as an intermediary for reporting suspected social media disinformation to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Corley; lchurchwell@publicinterestlegal.org; Maria Matthews Subject: Over 900 felons voted in the Nov 2016 Election in Broward, Trump may be right there appears to be a lot of fraud in South Florida! Dr. Snipes, I am requesting immediate actions on properly investigating and forwarding any voter fraud to the state attorneys who lost their legal right to vote and voted in the Nov 2016 election, there were in access of 900 felons who have appeared to have voted in the Nov 2016 Presidential Election, and you have appeared to be ignoring this. I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of these felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them! FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000757 This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office! I have cc’d the State Supervisor of Elections, various media, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and the local State attorney’s office.

(1) Except as provided in s. certi?cation of election or nomination of any person to of?ce, or of the resulton any question submitted by referendum, may be contested in the circuit court by any unsuccessful candidate for such iof?ce or nomination thereto or by any elector qualified to vote in the- . election related to such candidacy, or by any-taxpayer, respectively. I (2) Such contestant shall ?le a_complaint, together with the fees prescribed in chapter 23, with the clerk of the circuit court within 10 days after midnight of the date the last board reSponsible for certifying the results of?cially certi?es the results of the election being contested. (3) The complaint shall set forth the grounds on which the contestant intends to establish his or her right to such of?ce or set aside the resultof the election on a submitted referendum. The grounds for contesting an election under this section are: Misconduct, fraud, or corruption on the part of any election of?cial or any member of the canvassing board suf?cient to change or place in doubt the result of the election.

Proof that any elector, election of?cial, or canvassing board member was given or offered a bribe or revvard in money, property, or any other thing of value for the purpose-of procuring the success?tl candidate?s nomination or election or determining the result on any question submitted by referendum. (4) The canvassing board responsible for canvassing the election is an indispensable party defendant in county and local elections. The Elections Canvassing Commission is an indispensable parry defendant in I federal, state, and multicounty elections and in elections for justice of the Supreme Court, judge of a district 3 court of appeal, and judge of a circuit 001111.

However, the court in its discretion may limit the time to be consumed in taking testimony, with a view therein to the circumstances of the matter and to the proximity of any succeeding election. In any contest that requires a review of the canvassing board?s decision on the legality of a vote-by- mail ballot pursuant to s. based upon a comparison of the signature on the voter?s certi?cate and the signature of the elector in the registration records, the circuit court may not review or consider any evidence other than the signature on the voter?s certi?cate and the signature of the elector in-the registration records. The court?s review of such issue shall be to determine only if the canvassing board abused its discretion in making-its decision. An election is the process of choosing a person to ?ll an of?ce. An election contest is a right of action conferred on every candidate to contest the certification of nomination or the certi?cate of vote as made by the appropriate of?cials in any election[i]. It is a post-election contest between two competing Fraud, corruption, or irregularities in regard to the method of holding an election in a division can affect the entire vote. Thus, an election contest is a special proceeding 4 . FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A1000766 created by the legislature to provide a remedy for elections tainted by fraud, illegality, or other irregularity?ii]. - Generally, there are two types of election contests[iv]: 0 Motion seeking to oust and replace the certi?ed winner; and . Motion seeking to declare an election void altogether. The iundamental purpose of an election contest is to ascertain the true will of the electorate[v]. Moreover, an electibn contest provides a simple and speedy means of contesting elections. Additionally, an election contest presupposes a full and fair litigation of election disputes in an expeditious manner[vi]. The remedy provided in an election contest is a statutory one and equity cannot be invoked to determine an election?s validity. Arr election can be contested only for matters that would impeach the fairness of the result. Anelection to any public of?ce can be contested on the following grounds[vii]: . When illegal votes have been received; . 0 When legal votes rejected at the polls, sufficient to change the result; 0 Where any error is committed by any board of canvassers in counting the votes or declaring the result of the election. I There is no provision under the common law to contest an election. The right to contest an election exists only under the constitutional and statutory provisions. An election contest is a special statutory proceeding. One who seeks the benefit of a statutory proceeding must comply with all the procedural terms of the statute. Courts cannot exceed the provisions of applicable statutes in resolving election Thus, the procedure proscribed by a state must be strictly followed in deciding election contests. The judicial determination of election contests requires strict adherence to the constitutional and statutory provisions in the variousjurisdictions?x]. All candidates have the right to protest the returns of an election by ?ling a protest with the appropriate Canvassing board[x]. In order to contest election results, the petitioner must show that the result of the election will be different in the?absence of I irregularities[xi]. I - 5 .

The jurisdictional facts must appearon the face of the proceedings.

The proper or necessary parties to election contest proceedings are usually prescribed by each statute. See Exhibit A and . 6" .93 Exhibit A Date: August 23, 1977 Subject: Elections, contested elections and legal costs ELECTIONS-SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE MAY NOT USE PUBLIC FUNDS TO DEFEND CONTESTED ELECTION RESULT To: Willie Mae Jones, Gilchrist County Supervisor of Elections, Trenton Prepared by: Patricia R. Gleason, Assistant Attorney General QUESTION: May county funds or funds available in the of?ce budget of the supervisor of elections be expended 'to'provide a defense for a supervisor of elections who has-been inade a party defendant in an election contest in his or her individual capacity as the successful candidate or nominee and where the county canvassing board of which such supervisor is a member is a party defendant as required by s. SUMMARY: . Neither county funds nor funds available in the of?ce budget of the supervisor of elections may be expended to defend a supervisor of elections who has been made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. Such litigation is personal - to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in expending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. According to your letter, you were made a party defendant in an election contest proceeding instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. That section provides' 1n pertinent part: I?The certi?cation of election ,or nomination of any person to of?ce may be contested in the circuit court . . . by any unsuccessful candidate for such office. "The successful candidate and the canvassing board or election board shall be the pi aperparly defendants. (Emphasis supplied.) An examination of the complaint ?led by the unsuccessful candidate for nomination to the of?ce of supervisor of elections, a COpy of which you have attached to your letter, reveals that you were made a party defendant in your individual capacity as the successful candidate for nomination to the office of supervisor of elections and that the county canvassing board was also made a party defendant as required by the terms of s. 102.161, F. 8., above quoted. The complaint further reveals that no charges are made against or relief sought from the defendant canvassing board with respect to any act 011 the part of such board in carrying out its statutorily assigned duties and functions. (See 35. 101.68, 102.141, 102.151, and 102.166, F. S., as to the duties and functions of the county canvassing board.) To the contrary, the complaint alleges that the supervisor of elections unlawfully solicited the casting of absentee ballots. Thus, the complaint prays that "the returns from the absentee ballots in said election be rejected? and that the unsuccessful candidate be "declar ed the rightful winner of said election. i The foregoing analysis of the allegations contained in the complaint makes clear that the action is simply an election contest predicated upon the validity of certain absentee votes and challenging the right of the successful candidate or nominee to hold the of?ce to which 'she was elected. The question of whether or not public funds may prOperly be expended to provide a legal defense for the successful candidate?in such an election contest proceeding has been recently considered by the court in Markham v. State by and Through the Department of Revenue, 298 So.2d 210 (1 D.C.A. Fla., 1974). The Markham case involved an election contest challenging the action of the Broward County Canvassing Board in canvassing and counting certain absentee ballots. The unsuccessful candidate for the office of Broward County Tax IAssessor sued both the successful candidate in his individual capacity and the county canvassing board. The question under consideration by the court-was whether or not the successful candidate for the of?ce of I tax assessor could use funds available in his of?ce budget for legal expenses to pay attorneys he had retained to defend him in the election contest. In ruling that such an expenditure would be improper, the court held: "The suit giving rise to the incurring of the attorney's fees was not against the [tax assessor] in his of?cial capacity nor did it arise from a discharge of his of?cial duties nor serve a public purpose. The suit was a pure and simple election contest relating to the validity of certain absentee. votes. The questioned absentee votes were suf?cient in number to affect the result of the election. Under the law Of Florida as FL-BRQWARD-19-0523-AL000769 announced in cases too numerous to cite, had the contestant been successful in his attack upon the votes the appellant would have ceased to be tax assessor and his opponent would have taken of?ce. The office, functions and duties of tax assessm would not have been 111 any manne1 alte1edThe1e would simply have been another man ?lling the position. The legal battle between the political contestants was purely personal. Each wanted to be tax assessor ofB1owa1d County and the challenged absentee votes furnished the key to the door." [298 So.2d at 212.] Accord: Peck v. Spence-1,7 So. 642, 644 (Fla. 1890) (town council was without authority to authorize the acting mayor to defend at the town?s expense a suit which had been ?led against the acting mayor by a defeated candidate to test the validity of the town election); Williams v. City of 'Miami 42 So. 2d 582 (Fla. 1949) (city had no 111te1 est in defending a suit arising out ofa recall election); AGO's 071- 185 and 071?.276 Applying the foregoing cases and Attorney General Opinions to your inquiry, it is my opinion that the expenditure of public funds, either from your of?ce income or budgeted funds or county funds, to defend you in your capacity as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S., would be'improper. To the extent that the lawsuit represents a "legal battle" between an unsuccessful and a successful candidate or nominee to determine who is entitled to the office of Supervisor of elections, it would appear that the outcome of such litigation is dependent upon the validity of the absentee ballots cast and is, therefore, personal to the candidates involved. Furthermore, no additional factors which would indicate sufficient public interest in the outcome of the election contest are made apparent from the face of the complaint. Compare Estes v. City of North Miami Beach, 227 So.2d 33, 34 (Fla. 1969), wherein the Supreme Court found that it was not an abuse of discretion for the city council to engage special counsel to defend a law suit filed against four of the seven members of the city council and the city attorney by a defeated candidate ?for city councilman. The court held that the challenged apprOpriation of municipal funds to pay such special counsel must be considered in light of the following facts: a majority of the city council were defendants in the law suit; the plaintiff sought a judicial construction of the p1ovisions of the municipal election code and an injunction against the defendants 1est1aining them f1 om pe1fo1m1ng all their official duties on behalf of the municipality othe1 than legislative action. See also Mille1 v. Ca1bonelli, 80 So.2d 909 (Fla. 1955), holding that the town council was authorized to engage an attorney to defend the mayor in a quo warraiito proceeding brought by one councilman against the new mayor elected by the council from their own number challenging both the right of the newly elected mayor to assume office and the action of the council electing him where .?the issue not only immediately and directly affected the proper governance and administration of village affairs but the official action of the councilmen as electors was challenged." The fact that the supervisor of elections is a member of the county canvassing board does not alter the conclusion set forth above. Section 102.161, supra, requires that the canvaSsing board be made a party defendant, as an entity, to an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to that section. The members of such canvassing board, therefore, are only nominal defendants who are required to be joined by statute. [It should be noted that theLegislature has recently amended 3. 102.141, F. S., to provide for the replacement of a member of the county canvassing board if such member is unable to serve or "is a candidate who has . opposition in the election being canvassed. or is an active participant in the campaign or candidacy of any candidate who has opposition in the election being canvassed . . 26 of C11. 77-175, Laws of Florida, effective January 1, 1978. With specific regard to the supervisor of elections, 3. 26 of Ch. 77-175 provides that if the supervisor of elections is unable toiserve or is disqualified pursuant to the section, then the chairman of the board of county commissioners shall appoint a member of the board or county commissioners?who is not a candidate with opposition in the election be'ing?canvassed; however, the supervisor is required to act in an advisory capacity to the canvassing board] Cf. State ex ref. Hutchins v. Taylor, 143 So. 754, 757 (Fla. 1932), holding that, in the absence of statutory authorization, a countyjudge cannot be replaced as a member of the canvassing board because he is a candidate in the election canvassed. The'duties imposed upon the county canvassing board "to canvass the returns of a[n] . . . election is ministerial in their nature, involving no discretion.? (Emphasis supplied.) State ex rel. Knott v. Haskill, 72 So. 651 (Fla._ 1916), See also State ex rel. Peacock v. Latham, 170 So. 472 (Fla. 1936). Accordingly, a county canvassing board possesses no authority to pass upon the regularity of an election or the quali?cations of persons thereat. State v. McLin, l6 Fla. 17 (1876). County canvassers have no power to go beyond the?inspectors? returns except to determine their'genuineness, nor may the canvassing board reject returns which are genuine on their face. State ex rel. Bisbee v. Board of Canvas'sers of Alachua County, 17 Fla. 9 (1878). Applying these principles to your inquiry, it is clear that the canvassing beard is not authorized to determine whether or not the supervisor of elections unlawfully solicited absentee ballots; such a determination can only be made by the judiciary by means of the election contest. Thus, while the county is authorized to defend the canvassing board as an entity in an election contest (see AGO 068-70), I neither county funds nor funds budgeted in the office account of the supervisor of elections may be used to defend the supervisor of elections who was the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest predicated on the validity of absentee ballots, which absentee ballots were alleged to have been unlawfully solicited by the supervisor of elections.Your question is accordingly answered in the negative. as Exhibit . Number: AGO 93-48 Date: July 29, 1993 Subject: Inspection of ballots The Honorable Fred Galey Supervisor of Elections Brevard County PostOf?ce Box 1119 Titusville, Florida 32781-1119 RE: OF ELECTIONS--individual may take notes during inSpection of ballots but may not touch ballots. s. 119.07 (1992 Supp.) and s. 101.5615, F.S. Dear Mr. Galey: You ask substantially the following question: Is an individual or group inspecting ballots pursuant to Ch. 1 l9, F.S., precluded from counting votes for an individual candidate in any precinct or race? In sum: An individual or group is entitled to inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 1 19.07, F.S. 1992 Supp.) prohibits any person other than the supervisor of elections or his employees from touching the ballots.- The notes or count taken by the individual or group do not constitute a recount of ballots for purposes of the Florida Election Code. I According to the information provided to thisof?ce, the Supervisor of Elections of Brevard County has received a request to examine and count certain selected precinct ballots of the 1992 general election. You are concerned that individuals, by counting the ballots during their inSpection pursuant to Ch. 1 19, F.S., will be conducting a recount of the ballots. Initially, I would note that this opinion is con?ned to a consideration of your responsibilities under Ch. 119, F.S., the Public Records Law. Any question arising under the Florida Election Code, Chs. 97-106, .S., should be addressed to the Division of Elections in the Department of State, which is authorized to render advisory opinions regarding the interpretation of the Election Code. i I It is a general policy of this state that the records of the state and local government shall be open for inspection by any person. Such a right of access is now recognized in our State Constitution. Pursuant to s. .S. (1992 Supp), every person having custody of a public record "shall permit the record to be inspected and examined by any person desiring to do so, at any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the public record or his designee." Only 10 those public records which are provided by law to be con?dential or which are prohibited from being inspected by the public, whether by general or special law, are exempt from the disclosure provisions of s. 1 19.070), F.S. (1992 Supp). 1 am not aware of, nor have you drawn my attention to, any provision of law which makes ballots or ballot stubs con?dential or exempt from disclosure. Section 119.070) F.S. (1992 Supp), however, provides: "When ballots are produced under this section for inspection or examination, no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his employees shall touch the ballots. The supervisor 'of elections shall make a reasonable effort to notify all candidates by telephone or otherwise of the time and place of the inspection or examination. All such candidates, or their representatives, shall be allowed to be present during the inSpection or examination." I I While 5. F.S. (1992 Supp), places restrictions on who may handle the ballots, it does net remove the ballots from the inspection requirement of s. 119.070), F.S. (1992 Supp). Nor am I aware of any provision restricting full inspection of the ballots other than the restriction contained in section 1 F.S. (1992 Supp), that no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his or her employees may tou'ch the ballots. This office has previously stated that a custodian of public records may not impose a rule or condition on inspection which operates to restrict or circumvent a person's right of access. I I I I You have expressed your concern that individuals making notations or counting ballots during their inspection of such ballots pursuant to s. .S. (1992 Supp), would constitute a recount of such ballots in violation of the Florida Election Code. While questions involving the interpretation of the election cede should be addressed to the Division of Elections,.1 would note that 3. 101.5615, F.S., states that recounts and election contests shall be? conducted as provided for in the election code. - Section.102.166, F.S., provides for the protest of election returns and the recounting of ballots. Clearly, therefOre, any notations or count made by individuals during their inspection of the ballots or ballot stubs pursuant to s. 119.070), F.S. (1992 Supp), would not constitute a recount of the election returns and, thus, could not be used to challenge the results of an election under the Florida Election Code, _1_cann_ot, however, conclude that the provisions of the Florida Election Code which requires that a recount of election returns shall be as prescribed in the code imposes a limitation or restriction on the inspection of the ballots under 1 19, F.S., by prohibiting an individual from taking notes while inspecting such ballots. Moreover, an individual requesting access to inSpect such records under Chapter 1 19, Florida Statutes, need not show a special interest or legitimate interest in the public record before being allowed to inspect the records. As the court stated in Lorei v. Smith, the legislative objective underlying the creation of chapter 119 was to insure to the people of Florida the right freely to gain access to governmental records. The purpose for such inquiry is immaterial. 11 Nor may an agency refuse to allow inspection on the grounds that the request is overbroad or extensive. The courts have recognized that the breadth of the right to inspect is virtually unfettered, save for statutory exemptions. If, however, the nature or volume of the records to be inSpected is such as to require extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, 3. .S. (1992 Supp.), authorizes . the imposition of a special service charge. Such charge must be- reasonable and must be based upon the actual labor cost of the personnel providing the service incurred by the agency. . Accordingly, I. am of the opinion that an individual or group is entitled to? inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 119.07, F.S. (1992 Supp), however, prohibits any person other than the supervisor of elections or his employees from touching the ballots. Moreover, the notes or count taken by such individual or group do not constitute a recount 'of ballots for purposes of the Florida EleCtion Code. Sincerely, Robert A.

Expansive plans also have been drafted for a long-term push to scrutinize employers' hiring practices more closely. Under a 1986 federal law, companies must verify their employees are authorized to work in the United States by reviewing their documents and verifying to the government the employees' identity and work authorization. If employers are found to hire someone without proper documents, the employers may be subject to administrative fines and, in some cases, criminal prosecution. The recent focus on employers comes after a surge of deportation arrests of workers that started immediately after Trump took office in January 2017. The crackdown is likely to please immigration hawks among Trump's supporters but may alienate industries and companies that rely on immigrant labor. There were 2,282 employer audits opened between Oct. 1 and May 4, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday, nearly a 60 percent jump from the 1,360 audits opened between October 2016 and September 2017. Many of those reviews were launched following the January ICE audits and employee interviews at about 100 7-Eleven franchises in 17 states. There were 594 employers arrested on criminal immigration charges from Oct. 1 to May 4, up from 139 during the previous fiscal year, and 610 civil immigration charges during the same period, compared to 172 in the preceding 12-months. Derek Benner, head of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, told The Associated Press that another nationwide wave of audits planned this summer would push the total "well over" 5,000 by Sept 30. ICE audits peaked at 3,127 in 2013. The agency has developed a plan to open as many as 15,000 audits a year, subject to funding and FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000801 support for the plan from other areas of the administration, Benner said. The proposal calls for creation of an Employer Compliance Inspection Center to perform employer audits at a single location instead of at regional offices around the country, Benner said. Electronically scanning the documents will help flag suspicious activity, and the most egregious cases will be farmed out to regional offices for more investigation. Audit notices will be served electronically or by certified mail, instead of in person. Benner said that putting up to 250 auditors in one center with the right technology and a team of attorneys to quickly levy fines would enable his agency to audit between 10,000 and 15,000 companies annually. The proposal aims to create a "reasonable expectation" among employers that they will be audited, Benner said. "This is kind of our vision of creating this culture of compliance," he said. "I think it's a gamechanger." In October, Thomas Homan, ICE's acting director, pledged to increase workplace enforcement by "four or five times," opening a new front in an immigration crackdown that includes a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and initial funding for a border wall with Mexico. In April, ICE agents made 97 arrests at a meatpacking plant in rural Tennessee with a helicopter flying above, reminiscent of the high-profile shows of force that were common during President George W. Bush's administration. Benner said the agency will focus both on criminal cases against employers as well deporting employees who in the country illegally. Illegal hiring creates unfair advantages for companies, encourages people to come to the U.S. illegally, results in document and identity fraud and exposes workers to potentially dangerous conditions without overtime pay or health insurance, he said. It remains to be seen whether immigration authorities can perform enough audits to compel a similar degree of compliance that the Internal Revenue Service does on personal and corporate tax returns. One measure may be the number of employees who voluntarily enroll in the federal government's EVerify system to electronically confirm if a person is authorized to work in the U.S. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000802 Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

If you think not because it sound foreign then may be the country can work together on issues dividing us such as illegal immigrants & violations of PL 88452, 92424, 93644 & 95568. They are known as the Economic Opportunity Acts and Amendments and the Community Service Act of 1974 which are the supreme laws of the land sir. If we can do anything on the ground please let us know. We'll even use the organization or natural born people to become bounty hunters and track down those illegal immigrants and/or non citizens serving in elected offices and public administrations. Individuals who may be passing laws supporting a different agency and creating an environment for the purposes of overthrowing America or (Trumpica) in the future. Keep up the good work sir, we know they are trying to turn the country against you like they did Richard Nixon in order to impeach you. There are a lot of bad people who have gotten hold of our governments foreigners and others and they are not letting go without a serious attempt from us to stop the take over sir within America. They are stealing America with election fraud for example Miami Dade County and the City of Miami, have what is known as 14 days voting or early voting for various elected positions. There is no Florida election laws that grant this power of a 14 days election or early voting, yet foreign born citizens use this election method to give the advantage of primary and/or general elections to well financed candidates. This is a condition of involuntary servitude in violation of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Nonetheless, you can't complain about it because foreigners or illegal immigrants run all governments which make you feel you're living in concentration camps or prison as a native and natural born black American or others. ICE must investigate and verify the people who are working in all county and city governments because immigration laws in order to work for federal, state and local governments you must be a United States citizen and that doesn't appear to be the FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000803 case here in Miami Dade County, Florida, sir. There is no justice in our courts because foreigners have taken over almost all the circuit and court judges position and foreign lawyers make up evidence to people natural born citizens in prison, like the invasion of the body snatchers. We need to know if these foreign citizens serving in elected officials are in fact Americans, if not sir they should be removed from our governments immediately and deported for breaking immigration law. Sir, we request that the ICE investigation include the following, Miami Dade County Mayors and staff, City Mayors and staff, Circuit and County Court judges and staff, State Representatives and staff, State Senators and staff, School Superintendents, Board Members and staff, Democratic Party and Republican Party Chairpersons and staff, County and City Commissioners and staff, County and City Managers and staff, County and City Clerks and staff, City Council members and staff and/or alike, let's make America great again together sir and let American hand do the construction here at home and no one else who will claim that America was built by foreign laborers. We thank you for your time and for your service to our country sir and thank you for listening Mr. President, I know your hands are tied and you can't focus on these issues. If you have any questions or wish that we appear before any hearings to testify whether or not natural born Americans citizens are being abused by foreigners in local government or placed in mental or psychological prisons we stand ready and available, please let us know sir.

RESPONSE: See response to Interrogatory No. 1. INTERROGATORY NO. 3: Describe Plaintiff’s mission and purpose as an organization. RESPONSE: The American Civil Rights Union, Inc., (“ACRU”) is a non-profit corporation, incorporated in the District of Columbia, which promotes election integrity, compliance with federal election laws, government transparency, and constitutional government. (See Amended Compl., Dkt. 12, ¶ 4.) INTERROGATORY NO. 4: Identify all forms and sources of funding, of any kind, directed, donated or accepted by Plaintiff. RESPONSE: Plaintiff objects that this request is not proportional to the needs of this case and could not plausibly lead to relevant information. Plaintiff’s allegations concern the list maintenance activities of Defendant Snipes in Broward County. This request is not reasonably tailored to request only matters relevant to this lawsuit. Further, this request is not limited to the subject matter of this lawsuit and is not limited to a particular time period that is reasonably related to claims involved in this suit. As such, this request seeks information that is irrelevant and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. 5 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000813 Plaintiff further objects to this request to the extent Defendant seeks to identify nonparties, as well as their private contact information, who have provided financial support to Plaintiff’s organization. Plaintiff has brought this action so individual members and supporters need not endure the costs, hardships and attention that bringing this lawsuit individually would entail. Disclosure of the private information about these members would not likely lead to the discovery of any relevant information, would invite abuse and the invasion of privacy of those members and supporters, would constitute an intrusion into the Plaintiff’s rights of association and would violate and offend the reasonable expectations of privacy and peace that members and supporters of the Plaintiff enjoy and which led to the Plaintiff serving in a representative capacity as an organization advancing the interests of individual members and supporters. See NAACP v. Ala. ex rel. Patterson, 357 U.S. 449, 78 S. Ct. 1163 (1958) (hereinafter, NAACP v. Alabama). INTERROGATORY NO. 5: Please state whether Plaintiff, as an entity, was established with any involvement from Charles G. Koch, David H. Koch, Koch Industries or any subsidiary, fiduciary, trustee or agent of said parties. RESPONSE: Plaintiff objects to this request to the extent Defendant seeks to identify nonparties, as well as their private contact information, who have provided financial support to Plaintiff’s organization. Subject to and without waiving the above objection(s), and while reserving the right to supplement in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff answers as follows: Plaintiff was not established with any involvement from the named people or entities. 6 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000814 INTERROGATORY NO. 6: Please identify any and all lawsuits, including the name, state, county and jurisdiction and outcome of any lawsuit filed by Plaintiff since 2009. The response should also include any lawsuit in which Plaintiff was an Intervenor in the action. RESPONSE: Plaintiff objects that this request is not proportional to the needs of this case and could not plausibly lead to relevant information. Plaintiff’s allegations concern the list maintenance activities of Defendant Snipes in Broward County. This request is not reasonably tailored to request only matters relevant to this lawsuit. Further, this request is not limited to the subject matter of this lawsuit and is not limited to a particular time period that is reasonably related to claims involved in this suit. As such, this request seeks information that is irrelevant and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Subject to and without waiving the above objection(s), and while reserving the right to supplement in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff answers as follows: Other than the lawsuits described in response to Interrogatory No. 7, no such lawsuits exist. INTERROGATORY NO. 7: Please state all lawsuits filed by Plaintiff since 2009 alleging any of the causes of action so alleged in the present action. RESPONSE:  ACRU v.

State the specific nature of the Complaint and employee or agent to whom the Complaint was made. 8 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000816 RESPONSE: ACRU is aware of complaints made to the Broward County Supervisor of Elections regarding voter list maintenance by Mr. Richard Gabbay and Mr. Gregg Prentice over the past two years. INTERROGATORY NO. 9: State any and all persons and/or entities in Broward County contacted by Plaintiff within one-hundred and eighty days (180) prior to the filing of the subject lawsuit and concerning the allegations in the lawsuit, including the reason and nature of the contact and month the contact was made. RESPONSE: Plaintiff objects that this request pertains to work product and information subject to the attorney-client privilege. Subject to and without waiving the above objection(s), and while reserving the right to supplement in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff answers as follows:  On January 26, 2016, Susan Carleson, the President of the ACRU, writing on behalf of ACRU and its members and supporters who are registered to vote in the State of Florida, sent a statutory notice letter to Defendant notifying her that she was in violation of federal voter registration laws. (Attached as Exhibits A and C.) A copy was sent to the Florida Secretary of State. (See Amended Compl, Dkt. 12, ¶ 18.)  In March and April, 2016, a representative of ACRU contacted the following persons concerning list maintenance issues in Broward County: Gineen Bresso, Karin Hoffman, Andrea Bellitto, and Richard Gabbay. INTERROGATORY NO. 10: Describe in detail what you believe the specific legal obligations of Defendant are as it pertains to conducting a general program that makes a reasonable effort to 9 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000817 remove names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters in Broward County, Florida. RESPONSE: Plaintiff objects in so far as this request requires a narrative response and conclusions of law. Plaintiff objects to the extent the information requested has already been made known to Defendant Snipes. Subject to and without waiving the above objection(s), and while reserving the right to supplement in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff answers as follows: Section 8 broadly imposes an obligation on Defendant to conduct a reasonable list maintenance program. Defendant must “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters.” 52 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(4). A wide range of tools are available to Defendant. The NVRA mandates two separate methods to cancel voter registrations if the registrants no longer reside at the registered address. The first method is the notice mailing and two-cycle wait. The second method is using postal records and actively mailing voters a notice requesting them to cancel their registration or correct their address. On information and belief, Defendant Snipes has not utilized the United States Postal Service’s National Change of Address database (NCOA), or has not used it effectively. This method described in the NVRA allows election officials to obtain the NCOA database to determine which voters may have moved. Election officials then mail these voters, through forwardable mail, a notice containing a postage pre-paid card asking them to confirm their current residence address. If no response is received, the election official must wait two federal election cycles during which the voter does not attempt to vote before the registration may be cancelled. If the voter happens to return the card admitting they no longer live at the 10 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000818 registered address, the registration may be cancelled immediately and very often such mailings result in significant rates of corrective cancellation. Moreover, if Defendant Snipes has ever used any aspect of NCOA data, she has not used it effectively. For example, effectiveness requires regular and robust use of the data, not intermittent and haphazard use of the data. To the extent Defendant Snipes has used any NCOA date in the past, the use has been intermittent and haphazard, not regular and robust. Nor does it appear that Defendant Snipes has utilized many of the other means of list maintenance available and utilized by other jurisdictions, including, but not limited to, the use of private or government databases to analyze registration records or the use of other state databases to identify registrants who are no longer eligible to vote in Broward County. For example, data available from juror recusal form identifies numerous Broward County residents who self-identify, under oath, that they are non-citizens or non-residents of Broward County. The data also identifies potentially obsolete mailing addresses of registrants. Other counties in Florida have arrangements whereby the Supervisor of Elections has provided information to the County Clerk regarding changes of address for potential jurors. Though potential jurors are drawn from the Florida Department of Transportation database, which includes both citizens and noncitizens, it would be simple to cross-check the excusal forms or other data regarding jurors who have moved, died, or declared non-United States citizenship to ensure that those persons are not on the voter registry. Defendant Snipes undertakes absolutely no effort whatsoever to use data available from the Broward County Circuit Court Clerk obtained from jury excusal forms. There are multiple others means to conduct voter roll maintenance available to Defendant Snipes, but Defendant Snipes has not utilized them or has not utilized them effectively. One such 11 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000819 means, but by no means the only one, is to make direct contact with questionable registrants, either by mail, email or telephone, and seek information about their current residence, and remove those registrants upon receiving the appropriate responses permitted by the National Voter Registration Act and Florida law. Many counties across the country conduct this procedure. Broward County does not and has not, resulting in voter rolls there continuing to contain impossible and implausible registration rates, as demonstrated by the number of ineligible registrants included on Broward’s voter registration lists. This is not the only means whereby Defendant Snipes could ensure that Broward County’s rolls are reasonably maintained. Defendant Snipes is free to engage in a variety of remedial actions, including, but not limited to, communications with neighboring counties regarding new residents, active county mailings conducted more frequently than every two years, and cross referencing lists of registrants with various other government and commercial databases to scrub the lists on registrants who no longer reside in Broward County. All of these activities are consistent with reasonable list maintenance required by the National Voter Registration Act and are permissible under Florida law. The NVRA prescribes but two, non-exhaustive methods to maintain voter rolls. But if a registrant has died, become ineligible to vote or moved from Broward County and admits or informs the government of that circumstance, the registrant may be removed immediately. Given the impossible registration rate in Broward County (described more thoroughly in response to Interrogatory No. 13, below) Defendant Snipes has not conducted a list maintenance program that is reasonable under the circumstances. 12 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000820 INTERROGATORY NO. 11: Describe in detail Plaintiff’s position as to the specific legal obligations of Defendant as it pertains to conducting a program to remove names from the voter registration lists based on records of criminal convictions and incarcerations or ineligibility. RESPONSE: Plaintiff objects in so far as this request requires a narrative response and conclusions of law. Plaintiff objects to the extent the information requested has already been made known to Defendant Snipes. Subject to and without waiving the above objection(s), and while reserving the right to supplement in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff answers as follows: Florida law requires Defendant Snipes to cancel the registration of registrants who have been convicted of a felony. Fla. Stat. § 98.075(5). Florida law requires the Department of Elections to transmit data concerning criminal convictions to Defendant Snipes. Given that the data is readily available to each supervisor, it is unreasonable for any supervisor to not utilize such data as part of his or her program to maintain accurate and current voter rolls. This is especially true in Broward County, where the voter registration rates have reached impossible levels, as demonstrated by the number of ineligible registrants included on Broward’s voter registration lists and evidence regarding ineligible felons who have voted in the past. INTERROGATORY NO. 12: Describe in detail Plaintiff’s position as to the specific legal obligations of Defendant as it pertains to conducting a program to remove names from the voter registration lists based on deaths of voters, including review of obituaries in newspapers, access to the U.S. Social Security Administration's Social Security Death Index (“SSDI”) database, review of the Florida Department of State Health Services records, notices by next of kin or any 13 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000821 other effort to remove voters by reason of the voter’s death (include the date those programs commenced). RESPONSE: Plaintiff objects in so far as this request requires a narrative response and conclusions of law. Plaintiff objects to the extent the information requested has already been made known to Defendant Snipes. Subject to and without waiving the above objection(s), and while reserving the right to supplement in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Plaintiff answers as follows: Each of the sources listed in Interrogatory No. 12 is a source from which Defendant Snipes can identify registrants who are no longer eligible to vote by reason of death. The National Voter Registration Act explicitly requires Defendant to “to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of . . . the death of the registrant.” 52 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(4)(A). Given that legal obligation and the availability of these sources, it is unreasonable for any supervisor to not utilize these sources as part of his or her program to maintain accurate and current voter rolls. This is especially true in Broward County, where the voter registration rates have reached impossible levels, as demonstrated by the number of ineligible registrants included on Broward’s voter registration lists. INTERROGATORY NO. 13: Describe in detail Plaintiff’s allegation that the total number of registered voters in Broward County exceeds the total number of living adults eligible to vote in Broward County. 14 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000822 RESPONSE: As is explained in the First Amended Complaint, Plaintiff uses data disseminated by the United States Census Bureau (including the American Community Survey) and the federal Election Assistance Commission to support its allegations. The 2010-2014 5-Year American Community Survey1 data set shows that there were 1,187,020 age-eligible citizens in Broward County. In response to the 2014 Election Administration and Voting Survey, Broward County reported that there were 1,198,616 persons registered and eligible to vote in its jurisdiction. Using this data, the registration rate in Broward County exceeds 100 percent. Plaintiff brought a similar claim against the local election official in Zavala County, Texas, relying on the same data as Plaintiff relies on here. The court found that “[t]he high registration rate in Zavala County creates a strong inference that the Defendant has neglected her duty to maintain an accurate and current voter registration roll.” Am. Civ. Rights Union v. Martinez-Rivera, 166 F. Supp. 3d 779, 793 (W.D. Tex. 2015). The same “strong inference” is present here.                                                              1  https://www.census.gov/rdo/data/voting_age_population_by_citizenship_and_race_cvap.html  15 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000823 Dated: January 31, 2017 Respectfully submitted, William E.

Plaintiff has asked for numerous documents that are overly broad and would be overly burdensome to produce since 2009. Defendant’s office processes numerous documents on a daily basis from numerous sources. The expansive and extensive document request would cause Defendant to stop or significantly slow operations to the detriment of the office operations. 7. Defendant objects to the production of documents dating back beyond a period of two years from the date of the filing of subject Complaint. Documents within the last two years, however, have already been made available for public inspection and copying on January 13, 2017. All such records concerning implementation of registration list maintenance programs and activities conducted pursuant to the NVRA have already been made available for public inspection and copying.

FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000827 SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1: Defendant objects to the production of documents dating beyond a period of two years as inconsistent with the National Voters Registration Act (NVRA). Defendant previously responded, in part, to Plaintiff’s Request for Production by making available for inspection and copying the documents requested. Plaintiff’s attorney committed on January 13, 2017 to revise its Request for Production in order to make clear that the documents requested in Plaintiff’s First Request for Production of Documents would be limited to a two-year period. Plaintiff has failed to correct the Request for Production as agreed. Defendant Snipes makes clear her objection to production of documents outside of the two-year period on the basis that a response to the request would be overly broad, unduly burdensome, irrelevant and cause undue harm. Furthermore, Defendant Snipes objects to this request as duplicative to the extent that it calls for documents already produced pursuant to Plaintiff’s October 31, 2016 request, including but not limited to Eligibility Records Maintenance Activities and Address Maintenance forms.

SUPPLEMENTAL RESPONSE TO REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2: Plaintiff’s request for production of records going back to 2009 is overly broad and unduly burdensome and outside the maintenance period required by the NVRA statute. Without waiving said objection, communications requested (to the extent they exists) are maintained within the VR System and were made available for inspection on January 13, 2017. The STEVE system is not a system used by Defendant’s office. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000828 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: An electronic copy of al l registered voters in Broward County kept pursuant to 52 U.S.C . § §21083(a) or state law.

One of the park's receiving an EKIP grant is Chamizal National Memorial. Here, fourth graders rotated through various stations designed to teach hiking and camping skills.

Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes has been sued in United States District Court for violations of federal voter roll maintenance obligations. Broward County has had more registered voters on the rolls eligible to cast a ballot than citizens alive. The complaint states: According to public data, “over the past several election cycles the voter rolls maintained by Defendant Supervisor of Elections for Broward County have contained either more total registrants than eligible voting-age citizens or, at best, an implausibly high number of registrants. According to this data, at the time of the 2014 general election, approximately 103% of the citizens of voting age were registered to vote and could cast a ballot in Broward County.” The plaintiff in the case is the American Civil Rights Union. The plaintiff originally sent the defendant a notice letter in January 2016 describing potential violations of federal election law, asking to review election records, and seeking a cure. The defendant refused to discuss a resolution with the American Civil Rights Union. The case is American Civil Rights Union and Andrea Bellitto vs. Brenda Snipes. Andrea Bellitto is a registered voter in Broward County and a member of ACRU. The Public Interest Legal Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public interest law firm dedicated to election integrity. PILF exists to assist states and others to aid the cause of election integrity and fight against lawlessness in American elections. William Davis at Foley and Lardner is serving as local counsel for the plaintiffs.

New York City and San Francisco have given non-citizens the franchise – at least in some local elections. Six local governments in Maryland also allow resident aliens to vote, and College Park wants to be the seventh - with one additional twist, according to Bob Popper of Judicial Watch. "What they propose to do is particularly problematic," Popper says of College Park, "because they would not make any distinction between legal and not-legally present non-citizens." College Park, a city of 32,000 in Prince George's County, would allow citizens 28 days before the election to register to vote, and non-citizens can register to vote within 14 days of the election. It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, and states can say they can't vote in statewide contests either, but it's actually not illegal for cities or counties to allow the practice. The argument is that residents who have kids in local schools and pay local taxes should be allowed to vote on the government bodies that affect their lives. But that's not how it's supposed to work, Popper insists, because there is the "fundamental question of equity," he says. "People who are the citizens of this country," he says, "people who will have to pay any income taxes to support what happens, people who don't have another country where they can leave to as citizens, those people have a different relationship to the country than non-citizens." He also stresses the additional security and organization to keep separate ballots for citizens and non-citizens, increasing the odds that the latter can vote by accident – or by design – in national elections.

FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000918 Message from the EI-ISAC: Weekly News Alert 1/9/2019 - TLP: WHITE EI-ISAC Advisory [EI-ISACAdvisory@cisecurity.org] Sent:Wednesday, January 09, 2019 5:18 PM To: Thomas Duffy [Thomas.Duffy@cisecurity.org] TLP: WHITE EI-ISAC Weekly News Alert TO: All EI-ISAC Members and Partners DATE: January 9, 2019 SUBJECT: EI-ISAC Weekly News Alert 1/9/2019 The EI-ISAC Weekly News Alert is a summary of open source reporting on election security and topics that may be of interest to election officials. The Weekly News Alert is intended to provide situational awareness of the cyber risk landscape and cybersecurity best practices to election officials through open source news reporting and analysis by the EI-ISAC and other experts. If you would like to submit security-related stories that may be of interest to the elections community, please contact elections@cisecurity.org. --*Due to a pause for the holiday season, this edition of the Weekly News Alert covers relevant content from December 19, 2018, through January 9, 2019.* --ODNI Assessment Concludes No Intelligence to Support a Compromise of 2018 U.S. Midterm Elections – ODNI (12/21/18) TLP: WHITE On December 21, 2018, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) submitted the Intelligence Community's (IC) report on foreign interference in the 2018 U.S. General Election as directed by Executive Order 13848. The report states that no intelligence reporting "indicates any compromise of our nation’s election infrastructure that would have prevented voting, changed vote counts, or disrupted the ability to tally votes." Additionally, the report notes that observed interference activity during the election paralleled previously known campaigns originating from nation-states, such as Russia, China, and Iran, which aimed to conduct strategic information operations in the U.S. The ODNI also reaffirmed that preserving the integrity of U.S. elections is a "top priority" of the IC. EI-ISAC Analyst Note: On September 12, 2018, President Trump signed Executive Order 13848 mandating sanctions on foreign entities or individuals participating in U.S. election interference. Sanctions automatically go into effect against any foreign government identified as interfering in U.S. elections. The order also dictates that following Election Day, ODNI must conduct an investigation to determine whether election meddling took place. After a 45-day review period, that assessment must be passed to the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security, which will have 45 days to determine if any malicious actions warrant a response. Consistent with ODNI's findings, the EI-ISAC did not observe any successful strategic cyber targeting affecting election outcomes. Cyber activity observed by the EI-ISAC included normal scanning activity and typosquatting of election-related domains, while non-cyber activity included mostly accidental misinformation regarding polling locations and times (via text, phone, and social media) and weather related power outages. For a more detailed summary of Election Day activity, members may contact elections@cisecurity.org. --USDT Sanctions Russian Operatives for Malign Activities Including 2016 U.S. Election Interference – USDT (12/19/18) TLP: WHITE On December 19, 2018, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s (USDT) Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) announced sanctions against 15 Russian operatives associated with Russian intelligence agencies for their involvement "in cyber operations to interfere with the 2016 election and a wide range of other malign activities." Nine of the 15 sanctioned operatives are acting or former officers in the Main DirectorateFL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000919 of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (G.U., formerly GRU) and were previously indicted by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) on July 13, 2018, for "Hacking Offenses Related to the 2016 Election." --U.S. Senate Confirms Two Additional Commissioners to the EAC – The Hill (1/2/19) TLP: WHITE On January 2, 2019, the U.S. Senate confirmed two additional Commissioners, Benjamin Hovland and Donald Palmer, to the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), thereby filling the remaining vacancies and allowing the commission to hold a quorum for the first time since March 2018. The newly confirmed Commissioners are scheduled to join current EAC Commissioners, Thomas Hicks and Christy McCormick, early this year. --House Bill Designed to Strengthen and Enhance Cyber Capabilities Signed Into Law – Congress (12/21/18) TLP: WHITE On December 21, 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump signed into law the "Strengthening and Enhancing Cyber-capabilities by Utilizing Risk Exposure (SECURE) Technology Act (H.R. 7327)". The bill requires U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen to establish a security vulnerability disclosure policy and a bug bounty program, and to enhance Federal acquisition supply chain security within a predetermined timeline. The timeline sets deadlines for each requirement, spanning from 90 days to one year after the Act's establishment. EI-ISAC Analyst Note: The bill includes similar components from other cyber initiatives introduced to Congress, such as the Public-Private Cybersecurity Cooperation Act (H.R.6735), Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act of 2018 (S.3085), and Hack the Department of Homeland Security Act of 2018 (S.1281). --U.S. County Vendor Phished Using Spoofed County Email Address – Government Technology (12/19/18) TLP: WHITE On December 19, 2018, the Government Technology magazine reported that malicious cyber actors spoofed a Sedgwick County, Kansas, email address in a phishing attempt designed to socially engineer a vendor into providing information on the county's past financial transactions. The county confirmed the scam was unsuccessful and that no sensitive information was compromised. EI-ISAC Analyst Note: Election offices and supporting members are strongly encouraged to review the EI-ISAC Cybersecurity Spotlights on BEC scams, Spoofing, Phishing, and Social Engineering to ensure employees are properly trained and that mitigation techniques are in place to avoid becoming victim to similar malicious tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). On Wednesday, January 23rd, the MS-ISAC will host a best practice webcast on Domain-based Message Authentication, Reporting & Conformance (DMARC), which is an email authentication, policy, and reporting protocol, designed to detect/prevent email spoofing. --Upcoming Events: Upcoming elections-related events to be included in this list can be sent to the EI-ISAC at elections@cisecurity.org.

The Weekly News Alert is intended to provide situational awareness of the cyber risk landscape and cybersecurity best practices to election officials through open source news reporting and analysis by the EI-ISAC and other experts. If you would like to submit security-related stories that may be of interest to the elections community, please contact elections@cisecurity.org. --CISA Publishes Security Tip: Best Practices for Securing Elections Systems and Questionnaire - CISA (5/21/2019) TLP: WHITE To aid state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) governments in securing election infrastructure, CISA has published Security Tip (ST19-002): Best Practices for Securing Elections Systems at: https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST19-002. This security tip is based on lessons learned from CISA engagements with SLTT governments, election stakeholders, and others. The product addresses actionable, low, or no-cost best practices that election offices can implement to harden their networks and protect election infrastructure. As a reference to the security tip, CISA also released an Election Infrastructure Questionnaire to help election offices gain greater understanding of their election infrastructure by developing a systematic, catalogued set of practices employed by the election offices. CISA recommends completing this questionnaire ahead of time as it helps to have as much information on hand prior to an incident. Organizations will be better prepared to take action when an incident occurs and will have information at the ready to provide any third-party incident response personnel. Items addressed in the questionnaire include web presence, social media, voter registration, pollbooks, electronic voting machines and systems, vote tabulation, auditing, election night reporting, and recommendations for notice and consent for the use of computer systems. EI-ISAC Analyst Note: Best practices addressed in the security tip, such as software and patch management, log management, network segmentation, and credential management are key cybersecurity mitigations that are also identified in A Handbook for Election Infrastructure Security from CIS. By pairing these documents, as well as CISA's Election Infrastructure Questionnaire, election offices can establish a baseline cybersecurity posture to improve upon and maintain good cyber hygiene. --Facebook Bans Israeli Firm for Election Meddling - Facebook (5/17/2019) TLP: WHITE On May 16, 2019, Facebook's Head of Cybersecurity Policy revealed that it had banned the Israeli company Archimedes Group after identifying coordinated attempts to influence voters in Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. Facebook identified and removed 265 Facebook and Instagram accounts, pages, groups, and events involved in "coordinated inauthentic behavior." The group's social media accounts had more than 2.8 million followers. Archimedes Group used fake accounts to represent themselves as local residents and news organizations in order to publish allegedly leaked information about politicians. According to Facebook, the group spent about $812,000 on Facebook ads between 2012 and 2019. EI-ISAC Analyst Note: Leveraging social media to spread disinformation is likely to continue and grow. This reporting suggests organizations are both capable and willing to dedicate substantial resources for sustained campaigns spanning several years. As organizations beyond nation-states begin to leverage these social media tactics it may become harder to identify targeted election meddling. --Upcoming Events: Upcoming elections-related events to be included in this list can be sent to the EI-ISAC at elections@cisecurity.org. · May 22, 2019 at 2:00PM EST: Hearing: - House Oversight and Reform Committee on Securing U.S. Election FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000922 Infrastructure and Protecting Political Discourse. o Attendees include: § § § § § § Richard Salgado, Director of Law Enforcement and Information Security, Google Nathaniel Gleicher, Head of Cybersecurity Policy, Facebook Kevin Kane, Public Policy Manager, Twitter Christopher Krebs, Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Ellen Weintraub, Commissioner, Federal Election Commission Christy McCormick, Chairwoman, Election Assistance Commission --24×7 Security Operations Center Elections Infrastructure Information Sharing and Analysis Center (EI-ISAC) 31 Tech Valley Drive East Greenbush, NY 12061 SOC@cisecurity.org - 1-866-787-4722 TLP: WHITE Disclosure is not limited.

Moody Boulevard, Building 2, Suite 101 at PO Box 901 it Bunnell, Florida 32110?0901 Phone (386) 313-4170 Fax (386) 313?4171 it 5E February 1, 2016 VIA EMAIL Shawna Powell Public Interest Legal Foundation 209 West Main Street Plainfield, Indiana 46168 Shawna Powell: Your letter dated January 11, 2016 was received in the Flagler County Supervisor of Elections Of?ce on January 15, 2016. The alleged violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act is unsupported by facts and more recent population estimates in Flagler County. I completely disagree with your interpretation of US Census data and further, I disagree with the allegation that Flagler County has ?about the same number of voters on the registration rolls as it has eligible living citizens. The voter registration list in Flagler County is maintained through the regular list maintenance, which is mandated by Section 98.065, Florida Statutes. Supervisors of Elections in the State of Florida are required to conduct these list maintenance activities on a schedule which is in accordance with the law, once during every odd- numbered year and no later than 90 days prior to a Federal election. The Flagler County Supervisor of Elections conducts these list maintenance activities according to schedule and also processes deceased matches regularly, along with information received which matches voter records for those persons who are ineligible for a variety-of statutory reasons, which include felony convictions or those who have been adjudicated mentally incapacitated in respect to voting. These match ?les are processed in accordance with Section 98.075, Florida Statutes and the outlined procedures for removal. According to the US Census Bureau ACS Demographic and Housing Estimates (2010- 2014 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates), Flagler County?s estimated population of residents aged 18 years and older in 2014 was 80,047. I reviewed the voter registration totals for every month in 2014 and the total of active registered voters never exceeded 72,567. When making comparisons, you . . . . Kalil Lenhart a FLAGLER COUNTY SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS 1769 E. Moody Boulevard, Building 2, Suite 101 at PO Box 901 it Bunnell, Florida 32110?0901 Phone (386) 313?4170 sir Fax (386) 313-4171 if should "also consider that the 2014 EAC Survey includes combined county totals for active and inactive voters. For many years, Flagler County was the fastest growing county in Florida. This county continues to grow and flourish despite recent variability in the local economy. I am concerned that the comparison of outdated US Census data estimates is being used as fact to determine population. Estimates can be only used for speculation. What is also concerning is that unfounded claims such as these continue to undermine the electoral process and contribute to voter apathy. Please ?nd the attachments to this email for the 2014 and 2015 list maintenance certi?cations provided by Flagler County to the Division of Elections. Other public records you have requested concerning the current voter registration statistics are available online: Voter Registration Totals: Sincerely, Kaiti Le?nhart Flagler County Supervisor of Elections FLORIDA DE PAHTMEHT an CIF Gam?aatran afAddra-aa Lraf Maintenance Til-Ia Farm is I'd ba salad ta a Saran-visors!

I am trying to summarize the number of voters who have been removed from the voter rolls in recent years and I am confused by this sentence in the judge's order on motions for partial summary judgment: "They point out that Snipes removed from the Broward County voter rolls over 240,000 registrants between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016, and 192,000 registrants between January 7, 2015 and January 10, 2017. Id. at 15." Notice the dates overlap, so I can't tell if that means the total removed is 240,000 PLUS 192,000 or if those two sets of numbers overlap and therefor should not be added up. https://publicinterestlegal.org/files/Doc-182-ORDER-denying-SJ-and-Motion-to-Exclude-Expert-Testimony.pdf If you are able to clarify this please let me know.

GESSLER 1. I have been asked by the American Civil Rights Union (“ACRU”) to provide an opinion on whether the Broward County Supervisor of Elections conducts reasonable voter list maintenance activities in order to remove the names of ineligible voters from the Broward County voter rolls. 2. In developing this opinion, I have relied upon documents provided to me by ACRU, additional documents I have retrieved from the U.S. Census Bureau and Florida Secretary of State, as well as my experience as an election attorney, election law professor, and former Secretary of State for the State of Colorado. 3. ACRU has retained me to review documents and provide an opinion. My rate for this matter is $350 per hour. Education and Experience 4. My education is as follows: I received a B.A. from Yale University, a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School, and an M.B.A. from the J.L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. I also received a certificate for the Senior 1 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000939 Executives in State and Local Government at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. 5. I served as the Colorado Secretary of State from January, 2011, until January, 2015. In Colorado, the Secretary of State serves as the state’s chief election officer. In that capacity my responsibilities included: supervising the conduct of primary, general, congressional vacancy, and statewide ballot issue elections in Colorado; enforcement of the Colorado election code; interpretation of the election code and promulgation of statewide regulations; statewide coordination and compliance with all federal election laws, including the Voting Rights Act (“VRA”), the National Voter Registration Act (“NVRA”), the Help America Vote Act (“HAVA”), and the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (“UOCAVA”); training, review, and oversight of local countywide election officials and local election practices and procedures; maintenance and modifications to the statewide voter database and state voter registration systems, maintenance of the statewide voter rolls, testing and certification of voting equipment, implementation and enforcement of campaign finance laws, and development of election policies; development of statewide election legal strategy and responses to legal actions; and management of office personnel, policies, and procedures. 6. I have worked as an attorney, primarily in the area of election law, from 2001 until 2010, and again from 2015 until the present. In this capacity I have represented candidates, parties, ballot issue committees, and independent groups in nearly all aspects of election-related activities. Further, I have litigated voter registration issues, primarily involving petition signatures and ballot access. 7. In addition, I am an adjunct professor at the University of Denver Law School, where I teach election law. I have previously taught election law at the University of Colorado Law School. 8. I have attended multiple conferences involving voter registration and list maintenance activities, include conferences conducted by the National Association of Secretaries of State, the Pew Foundation, and the Heritage Foundation, among others. 9. As Secretary of State I implemented various new programs and initiatives involving the administration of Colorado’s elections. These include: a. Participation in the Election Registration Information Center (“ERIC”) program, launched by the Pew Charitable Trusts. As Secretary of State, I evaluated the ERIC program and ensured Colorado was one of the very first states to join. During my time Colorado served as one of the first states to use voter registration and driver’s license matching to improve voter registration efforts, as well as improve the accuracy of voter rolls. b. The expansion and rebuilding of online voter registration in Colorado, which enabled voters not only to register online, but to also maintain their registration records online and remove their names from Colorado’s voter rolls. To my knowledge, 2 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000940 this system has been the most popular and heavily used system nationwide, from 2012 until the present. For this, Colorado was awarded the 2013 “State Technology Innovator Award” from the National Association of State Chief Information Officers. c. The review of all election procedures and the implementation of process mapping to improve and refine statewide and local procedures for election administration. This includes voter list maintenance and voter registration procedures and policies. d. regulations. A complete rewriting and streamlining of Colorado’s election e. Development of a program to remove non-citizens from the voter registration rolls. During my time as Secretary of State, Colorado became the first state to match driver’s license and voter roll information to identify potential non-citizens on the voter rolls, and Colorado and Florida were the first two states to obtain access to the Systematic Verification for Entitlements (“SAVE”) program for purposes of maintaining voter rolls. f. In response to new legislation, the development of an online, statewide electronic poll book and real-time access to the statewide voter database, to allow election-day voter registration and voting throughout the state. Colorado developed this complete system overhaul in nine months and is the only state to have such a system. g. Development of new online training programs for the public and for local election officials. For this program, Colorado won the 2014 “Ideas Award” from the National Association of Secretaries of State. h. Development and implementation of the “Accountability in Colorado Elections” (“ACE”) program, which provides online, interactive maps for election information, including voter registration statistics, registration by districts, voter turnout, election cost statistics, and county election activity and legal compliance information. For this project, Colorado was a finalist for the 2016 “Ideas Award” from the National Association of Secretaries of State. i. The launch and improvement of a statewide electronic delivery system for ballots to military and overseas civilian voters, which resulted in a substantial turnout increase. 10. Relevant to this matter, while serving as Secretary of State I was served with a completed, but unfiled, legal complaint for a federal lawsuit, alleging noncompliance with Section 8 of the NVRA. Following a series of discussions and the release and posting of information online, the Secretary of State’s office was able to satisfy the potential plaintiff’s concerns and the plaintiff did not file the suit. I personally developed the office’s strategy and served as lead negotiator in responding to that potential lawsuit. 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000941 Documents and Materials Relied Upon 11.

Summary of Opinion 12. It is my opinion that the Broward County Supervisor of Election has failed to conduct a general program and has failed to take reasonable steps to maintain the accuracy of the county voter rolls. Lack of a General Program 13. A modern election is complicated. It requires voter registration and voter roll maintenance for thousands, sometimes millions of voters. Election officials must use and compare databases, consistently and regularly update information, implement procedures to ensure that all citizens can exercise the fundamental right to vote, and simultaneously take steps to avoid fraud and abuse. Finally, election officials must follow state and federal law, and oftentimes are constrained by technological issues or local public opinion. 14. Because of the complexity and importance of elections, it is my opinion that any list maintenance system or program must include consistent and well-articulated policies and procedures. These are necessary for several reasons: to ensure equal and consistent treatment of all voters, to ensure the same steps are followed every time; to minimize human error and forgetfulness; to ensure consistency in the face of personnel turnover; 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000942 and to enable election officials to examine policies and procedures to identify deficiencies and problems. Consistent with my education and experience as an election official, any general program of list maintenance must include written or online training programs, written or online policies and procedures, and adequate recordkeeping and reporting to allow for later examination, analysis, or audit. 15. Broward County does not have, in my view, a reasonable list maintenance program that includes training, documentation, and reporting, and it has not taken reasonable steps to create one. My opinion is based on the following: a. Ms. Mary Hall, the Broward County Voter Services Director, has stated that Broward County has no written policies or procedures for list maintenance.1 b. Likewise, Ms. Dolly Gibson, a registration clerk at the Supervisor of Elections office, stated that there were no policies or procedures for updating voter registration records.2 c. Ms. Sonia Cahuasqui, a voter services clerk at the Supervisor of Elections office, stated that she does not use training materials when she trains people working for her. Instead, newly trained employees take notes and use them for reference. She further stated there are no manuals or procedures built into the voter registration database.3 d. In response to discovery requests, the Supervisor of Elections could not produce any written office policies, manuals, directives, or procedures concerning its programs for maintaining an accurate and current voter registration list and conducting a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible votes from the official lists of eligible voters.4 e. County officials are unable to search or sort the registration list to discover registrations that have been terminated based on the reason for termination, such as non-citizenship or felony disenfranchisement.5 f. Dr. Brenda Snipes, the Broward County Supervisor of Elections, personally expressed frustration about the lack of a process to verify or validate registrations. She believed that the State of Florida should participate in the ERIC system, because of the responsibilities placed on county Supervisors of Elections.6 1 Hall Deposition 13:17-14:4.

Exhibit A, attached to this report, contains a summary of the semi-annual Certification of Address List Maintenance Activities completed by the Supervisor of Elections for Broward county and submitted to the Florida Secretary of State, from 2011 to 2016.7 Additionally, it contains notices for printing mail pieces sent to the Supervisor’s outside vendor for the years 2014 to 2016. As seen on that exhibit, the total number of mail notices sent fluctuates wildly from year to year. Likewise, the number of inactive voters removed from the voter rolls fluctuates wildly. I have been unable to discern any pattern to explain this variation. These haphazard, varying numbers are inconsistent with a program of list maintenance. There is no semblance of consistency, which in my opinion shows a lack of regular activities or pattern of activities that would serve as a “program.” h. According to her statement, Ms. Hall does not recognize the semi-annual Certification of Address List Maintenance Activities completed by the Supervisor of Elections office and signed by Dr. Snipes,8 even though she is the Director of Voter Services and in charge of voter list maintenance activities for the office.9 These documents contain basic information about address list maintenance activities and are the official record sent to the Florida Secretary of State. The notices 2014 to 2016 show a pattern of process. As for pattern of removals and mailings it is all based on voter activity or inactivity. There probably is some sort of pattern. It just has never been identified. i. Finally, Ms. Hall, the voter services director, was not familiar with the term “mass non-forwardable mailing to all registered voters”10 on the certifications sent to the Florida Secretary of State every six months. Further, she had no knowledge and could not confirm whether no voters were removed from inactive status in 2016. In my opinion, the Director of Voter Services, who is responsible for voter list maintenance activities, should be generally aware of basic information regarding the removal of inactive voters from the voter rolls. 16. Taken together, these factors show an absence of training materials, an absence of written policies and procedures, and office leadership’s lack of familiarity regarding basic voter maintenance data. 17. Accordingly, it is my opinion that Broward County does not have a general program that allows election officials to properly manage, train, or consistently engage in list maintenance activities. Adherence to Minimum Statutory Requirements 18. Florida law grants Supervisors of Elections considerable latitude and authority to conduct list maintenance. For example, Florida law expressly allows Supervisors of Elections to: 7 See Defendant’s Response to Plaintiff’s Requests for Production, Exhibit A. Hall Deposition 43:25-44:13. 9 Hall Deposition 69:9-12. 10 Hall Deposition 64:13-23. 8 6 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000944 a. Request and use information from out-of-state voter registration officials We run NCOA in order to identify duplicates.11 b. Use National Change of Address (“NCOA”) database information to identify registered voters who may have moved.12 process every odd year. I believe this is a requirement of the state. c. Use nonforwardable mailings sent to all registered voters in the county, We have sent both active and inactive, to identify registrants who may have moved.13 d. Send mailings to registrants who have not voted or contacted the office in 2 years.14 voter id cards and other mailings to all voters. Mary can better explain. e. Obtain and use information from returned jury notices for list maintenance purposes.15 Jury noticesf. Obtain and use information from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles for list maintenance purposes.16 The DHSMV has such a system that is free for Supervisors to use called DAVID.17 g. Obtain and use information from “other sources” for list maintenance purposes.18 Death, felony and non-citizen questions for Mary. DAVID-Fred is working on this. h. Obtain and use information regarding death, felony status, non-citizen status, or change of address from “sources other than those identified.”19 i. Remove ineligible registrants based on information from other sources, not explicitly stated in the statute. 19. Florida law does, however, establish a minimum level of activity for Supervisors of Elections. Specifically, Supervisors must engage in at least one of the following three activities biannually: (a) Change-of-address information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees is used to identify registered voters whose addresses might have changed; 11 Fla. Stat. 98.045(2)(b). Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(a). 13 Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(b). 14 Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(c). 15 Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(a). 16 Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(a). 17 Snipes Deposition 61:13-25, 62:1-15. 18 Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(b) 19 Fla. Stat. 98.075(6) 12 7 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000945 (b) Change-of-address information is identified from returned nonforwardable return-if-undeliverable mail sent to all registered voters in the county; or (c) Change-of-address information is identified from returned nonforwardable return-if-undeliverable address confirmation requests mailed to all registered voters who have not voted in the last 2 years and who did not make a written request that their registration records be updated during that time.20 20. It is my opinion that Broward County does not engage in any of the above minimum activities. My basis for this opinion is as follows. Section (2)(a) 21. First, Broward County does not identify registered voters whose address might have changed by using “change-of-address information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees.” According to Ms. Hall, the only information the office receives from the Post Office is returned mail with yellow labels stating that a particular mail piece is not deliverable at a particular address. 21 Ms. Hall was clear that this is the only information from the post office used by the Supervisor of Elections.22 22. The yellow labels are not “change-of-address information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees.” Although Ms. Hall stated that her office uses NCOA data because it processes information on the yellow return labels,23 her understanding of NCOA data is incorrect. The United States Postal Service has developed and maintains a database of all address changes and forwarding information throughout the United States. It licenses this information to vendors, who in turn use the information to provide updated address information to customers. Election officials will purchase services from the vendors and use NCOA data to learn, among other things, if and where a voter has moved. This allows officials to communicate with the voter (usually by mail) to confirm whether, in fact, the NCOA data is correct. By doing this, an election official may begin the deregistration or registration update process without sending mail and having it returned as undeliverable. It is a way to save substantial time and money, because an election official can avoid sending mail that the Postal Service already believes is undeliverable. According to the statute, when a supervisor receives change of address information from the NCOA database, the supervisor “must change the registration records to reflect the new address” and then send an address change notice to that new address.24 We run NCOA scrub every other year, that data was provided in CD (last process was 2015). NCOA scrub results (output file)is returned to SOE then data is imported into VR for VS department to process. 20 Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(a)-(c). Hall Deposition 50:19-51:20 22 Id. 23 Id. 24 Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(a). 21 8 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000946 23. Further, in response to a request for production, the Supervisor could not produce any records of “United States Postal Service National Change of Address database requests.”25 24. In its responses to interrogatories, the Supervisor stated that she does not obtain or use data from commercial vendors regarding changes of address for registrants on the rolls.26 Accordingly the Supervisor does not receive NCOA information from any USPS vendor. 25. Finally, processing information from yellow return labels is not using “change-ofaddress information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees.” Not true. on CD we provided data for 2015. Not true we use Commercial Printers you should have invoices. Section (2)(b) Mary might be 26. Second, the Supervisor of Elections does appear to use “change of address able to clarify information” from “returned nonforwardable return-if-undeliverable mail.” But the Supervisor does not receive this information from “mail sent to all registered voters in the this. county,” as required by Section (2)(b). 27. To be sure, Ms. Hall stated that the county sends a mailing to all registered active and inactive voters every odd year, 27 and that the mail is nonforwardable.28 But it is my opinion that Ms. Hall is incorrect. As an initial matter, Ms. Hall is mistaken about NCOA information,29 and she does not appear to recognize or understand reporting terms used by the Florida Secretary of State, such as “mass non-forwardable mailing to all registered voters.”30 28. More importantly, responses and documentary evidence produced by the Supervisor of Elections directly contradicts Ms. Hall’s testimony. 29. Every six months, the Supervisor certifies Address List Maintenance Activities to the Florida Secretary of State. These activities are personally signed and certified by Dr. Brenda Snipes, and they were provided by the Supervisor in response to Plaintiff’s requests for production.31 In my opinion, an election official like the Supervisor would only certify these documents, send them to the Secretary of State, and provide them in this case, if the official believes they contain accurate information regarding list maintenance activities conducted by the Supervisor. 25 Def.

Exhibit A summarizes information in the certified address list maintenance activities conducted by the Supervisor from 2011 through 2016. a. During these years, not once did the Supervisor certify that she had done a “Mass (nonforwardable) mailing to all registered voters in county.” Take a look at corrected certs. Dr. Snipes has them. b. The number of mailings sent is wholly inconsistent with the number of registered voters in Broward County. In 2015 and 2016, the number of registered voters in Broward County ranged from approximately 1.2 million to 1.3 million. The year 2015 saw a total of 67,648 pieces of mail sent, which is extremely small compared to the number of voters. c. These certified numbers are corroborated by the notices for mail sent to the off-site printer. The numbers sent to the off-site printer are extremely close to the certified numbers, and in some instances they match exactly. 31. Based upon the documentary evidence in this case, my opinion is that the Supervisor has not sent mail to every registered voter in the county in accordance with Section (2)(b). Section (2)(c) 32. Third, Section (2)(c) allows a supervisor to use “change-of-address information” that is identified from returned nonforwardable return-ifundeliverable address confirmation requests. These address confirmation requests must be “mailed to all registered voters who have not voted in the last 2 years and who did not make a written request that their registration records be updated during that time.”32 33. None of the testimony addressed this situation. Therefore, for this opinion relies upon the summary contained in Exhibit A of the certified reports produced by the Supervisor. The Supervisor certified that she met this section for all or part of every year, by checking the box titled “Targeted address confirmation request (nonforwardable) mailing to registered voters who have not voted or requested an update to their records within the last 2 years.” 34. Although the supervisor certified compliance, the number of mail pieces is impossibly small. In other words, based upon the amount of mail sent by the Supervisor, it is impossible for her to have sent mail to all voters who failed to vote or requested an update. 35. Section (2)(c) requires the Supervisor to send “address confirmation requests.” For the half-years from 2011 to 2016, the number of address confirmation requests fluctuated between 456 at the lowest (in 2011 H2) to 7,025 (in 2015 H2). But the number 32 Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(a)-(c). 10 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000948 of voters who did not vote in the previous two years was far, far higher. Take, for example, the two years prior to the second half of 2015, which would be June 2013 through June 2015. In the 2014 November election, Florida had 51% turnout.33 I assume that Broward County had a similar voter turnout of 51%, which would be 476,474.34 That means in the two years prior to the second half of 2015, approximately 447,788 voters did not vote. 36. Even though approximately 448,000 voters did not vote in the two years preceding the second half of 2015, the Supervisor only sent out 7,025 address confirmation requests. 37. Even if Broward County had slightly greater or lower turnout than statewide turnout, it makes no material difference. The difference between approximately 448,000 non-voters and 7,025 address confirmation pieces is too large. Likewise, it does not matter whether the Florida Secretary of State calculates voter turnout based on active voters or all registered voters. In either instance, the number of non-voters dwarfs the number of address confirmation requests sent. And in my experience, there is no possibility that nearly all of non-voters in the preceding two years requested a change of address. 38. Even if one adds up all of pieces of mail sent in the second half of 2015 (67,648), it still does not come even close to the number of non-voters. 39. As with my earlier analysis, the number of mail pieces sent in 2015 is corroborated by the notices sent to the off-site printer. Accordingly, the certified numbers accurately reflect the number of mail pieces mail sent. 40. Finally it is impossible that the Supervisor sent mail to all non-voters in other years, even the two-year period following a presidential election. For example, take the second half of 2013. Using the same analysis: Preceding two years: June 2011 to June 2013 Federal Election: 2012 (presidential election) Statewide voter turnout: 72% Broward County voters: 762,34535 Broward County non-voters: 296,468 Address confirmation requests sent in 2013 H2: 5,034 Total of all mailings sent in 2013 H2: 61,495 33 Florida Department of State, Voter Turnout, available at http://dos.myflorida.com/elections/data-statistics/elections-data/voter-turnout/. 34 Florida Department of State, Ballots by Type Activity for 2014 General Election, available at http://dos.myflorida.com/media/694976/2014ballotscast.pdf. 35 Florida Department of State, Ballots by Type Activity for 2012 General Election, available at http://dos.myflorida.com/media/693340/2012ballotscast.pdf. 11 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000949 41. Accordingly, it is my opinion that the Broward County Supervisor of Elections has not conducted a mail program that meets the requirements of Section (2)(c). Bloated Voter Rolls and Other Warning Signs 42. In my opinion and experience, election officials must look closely at voter registration or list maintenance problems and determine whether they have implemented procedures and policies to address the problems. The Broward County Supervisor of Elections has not, in my opinion, taken reasonable steps to address well-known or easily identified problems with its list maintenance programs. 43. An unusually high percentage of registered voters serves as one of the main indicators that a jurisdiction does not take reasonable steps to maintain voter registration lists. Broward County is a classic example of a jurisdiction that has alarmingly high voter registration rates, often exceeding the voting age population. The following exhibit table shows Broward County’s registration rates. Broward County Registration Rates Year 2010 2012 2014 2016 Citizen Voting Age Population 1,098,140 1,134,385 1,187,020 1,240,000 Total Active Voters 1,042,290 1,140,454 1,071,305 1,194,192 Total Active and Inactive voters 1,214,714 not avail 1,198,616 1,301,470 Registration rate, active only 95% 101% 90% 96% Registration rate, all voters 111% Not available 101% 105% Sources: • ACS data, 5-year CVAP estimates for 2010 (ACRU00720), 2012 (ACRU0072100724), 2014 (ACRU00726-00729) • EAC data, 2010 (ACRU00317), 2012 (ACRU00403), and 2014 (ACRU00715) Election Administration and Voting Survey Comprehensive Report • The data has been produced by Plaintiff’s in discovery as document numbers ACRU00237-00730 • 2016 Citizen Voting Age Population was estimated, based on historical growth • 2016 total current active was taken from the SOE’s website • Total registration at the time of the 2016 election was taken from the Voter Extract File CD available from the Florida Division of Elections Look at the doc I sent you over email as per Dr. Snipes request. comparing registered voters to population in broward county. 44. These registration rates range from 101% to 111%. Accordingly, in each election year Broward County had more registered voters than eligible voters living in the county. Even if one takes registration rates for active voters only, in my opinion and experience the numbers are still exceedingly high. 45. Bloated voter rolls do not, standing alone, show an unreasonable list maintenance program. They do, however, serve as a warning sign that problems exist. With voter registration rates in these ranges, it is my opinion that any election official must analyze his or her processes and procedures to determine whether he or she is taking reasonable steps to maintain voter rolls. 12 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000950 46. Broward County has not taken reasonable steps to maintain voter rolls, as evidenced by the county’s lack of documented and consistent procedures, inadequate mail program, and bloated voter rolls. As noted above, the county does not use NCOA data, does not mail to all registered voters, and does not mail to even a substantial portion of non-voters. But Broward County’s exceedingly high registration rates show that the Supervisor has taken inadequate steps to maintain voter rolls. 47. Media reports and complaints to the Supervisor of Elections show that the Supervisor of Elections has knowledge of specific deficiencies in her list maintenance programs, and she has not taken reasonable steps to address known, and often pervasive, problems. Use of Driver’s License Data 48. One of the most powerful tools that are available for obtaining accurate address information and removing duplicate voter registrations is driver’s license information. The ERIC database provides an important example of this. In order to belong to ERIC, a state must provide both voter registration information and driver’s license information. By using minimum matching criteria, ERIC can match names and other personal information to identify errors in voter rolls. In my experience, the comparison between these two state databases – voter rolls and driver licenses – is far and away the most powerful tool for cleaning and maintaining voter rolls. 49. The Supervisor of Elections cannot participate in ERIC because the system is available only to states (including Washington D.C.), and Florida has chosen not to participate thus far. Nonetheless, the Supervisor of Elections can get most of the benefit of participating in ERIC simply by comparing her voter rolls to Florida’s driver’s license information. 50. Currently the Supervisor does not seek or receive driver license information. For example, a person may move and update their driver’s license, and the Supervisor will not have this information to update the voter rolls. 36 51. The Supervisor does not use the Driver and Vehicle Information Database (“DAVID”) provided by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to check for duplicate registrations and address accuracy.37 This database is available to the Supervisor and it is free of charge.38 52. In my opinion, use of DAVID to compare voter information to driver license information is not only a reasonable, but also very important step to take as part of a list maintenance program. In my opinion this tool will greatly help list maintenance efforts. It 36 Snipes Deposition 155:10-25. Snipes Deposition 61:13-25; 62:1-15; 63:1-22. 38 Snipes Deposition 62:20-63:13. 37 13 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000951 is free of charge. Further, other Florida counties already use DAVID,39 and thus the Supervisor will be able to learn from their experiences. Jury notices 53. When called for jury duty, people will sometimes seek to recuse themselves because they no longer live in the jurisdiction or are not a citizen. Likewise, relatives or friends may inform the court that the person called for jury duty has died. This is all extremely valuable information to help maintain voter rolls. The information is a direct admission of ineligibility, or in the case of a deceased person the information comes from a highly credible source. Indeed, Florida law expressly empowers Supervisor Snipes to obtain and use jury notice information for list maintenance purposes.40 Despite concluding that it would be helpful to utilize this data, she does not.41 54. Currently the Supervisor does not obtain jury excusal forms or information from courts, including the local circuit court.42 This information can easily be obtained, because the clerk of the county court and Supervisor’s office are very near one another. 43 Furthermore, the Supervisor already has at least one staff member who is familiar with the forms and understands what information is available.44 55. In my opinion, use of jury recusal forms is a reasonable step to maintain voter rolls and reduce the bloated registration numbers. Duplicate voter registrations 56. Duplicate voter registrations are generally divided into two categories: instances where the voters have two registrations within the same state and instances where voters are registered in two or more states. 57. The Supervisor relies heavily upon the Florida Secretary of State to identify voters who are registered at more than one Florida address.45 Nonetheless, the Supervisor is the election official who determines whether or not to remove a duplicate voter registration. By relying upon the Secretary, it seems that the Supervisor takes reasonable steps to remove duplicate voter registrations. 57. But my opinion must be qualified, because I have not received information about the specific matching criteria that the Secretary or the Supervisor uses to identify 39 Snipes Deposition 63:3-13. Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(a)-(b). 41 Snipes Deposition 31:19-32:9. 42 Def. Resp. to Request for Admission No. 3; Def.

The effectiveness and reasonableness of efforts to remove duplicate voter registrations depend heavily upon the matching criteria used. Absent knowledge of these criteria, I cannot form an opinion as to whether this activity is a reasonable step towards maintaining accurate voter rolls. 59. With respect to duplicate registrations in which a voter has registered in Florida and another state, the Supervisor has been made aware of many duplicate registrations in Florida and New York.46 Nonetheless, the Supervisor has not sought or obtained any information regarding potential duplicate registrations in Broward County and other states.47 60. If the Supervisor were to receive information regarding an out-of-state duplicate voter registration, she would send that voter a piece of mail to confirm residence in Broward County, or alternatively begin the removal process.48 61. In my experience, every state49 except Alabama makes their voter registration databases publicly available at low cost. Because there are known problems with duplicate voter registrations in New York, it is my opinion obtaining the New York voter registration database and comparing it to the Broward County database is a reasonable step that will reduce the bloated registration rolls and address a known problem. Obtaining and using this information for list maintenance purposes is expressly permitted under Florida law.50 Felon Registrations 62. As with in-state duplicate information, the Supervisor relies entirely upon the Florida Secretary of State for felon voting information. This is her primary source of information and the only consistent database check that she conducts.51 In addition, she will occasionally receive news reports or complaints about felons who are illegally registered to vote.52 63. At this point, I am unable to form an opinion as to whether reliance upon the Secretary of State is reasonable, because I do not know whether the Secretary transmits only felons convicted under state law, or also includes felons convicted under federal law. In my experience, the two types of convictions come from separate databases, and some states have occasionally failed to use federal conviction data. The Supervisor herself does 46 Snipes Deposition Exhibit 7; Plaintiff’s Production ACRU00165-00166, 00183, 00185. Hall Deposition 54:11-22. 48 Hall Deposition 56:15-18. 49 As used here, the term “state” includes Washington D.C. and United States territories. 50 Fla.

Although there is some fluctuation in the yearly number of felons removed from the Broward County voter rolls, Exhibit A shows generally shows a consistent pattern of activity that does not, in my opinion, give rise to concerns. 65. In my opinion, the Supervisor should confirm that the Secretary of State felon updates include felons convicted in federal courts. If the Secretary of State does not include that information in felon updates, then the Supervisor should take reasonable steps to obtain that information and regularly use it to remove convicted felons from the Broward County voter rolls. Non-Citizen Registrations 66. The Supervisor does not check voter registrations for citizenship and does not verify citizenship,54 despite the fact that as of 2015, there were 259,115 noncitizens in Broward County, which represented 14.1% of the population.55 67. There is substantial confusion regarding whether there are any checks to determine whether voters are citizens. At one point, Dr. Snipes surmised that potential voters were vetted for citizenship based upon a driver license comparison or Social Security number comparison,56 but she later admitted she did not know.57 In my experience, none of the comparisons described by Dr. Snipes provide citizenship information. 68. In any event, the Supervisor does not check for citizenship, but Dr. Snipes believes that it would be a good idea for Broward County to independently check for citizenship.58 69. I agree, and my opinion is that the Supervisor should take reasonable steps to identify non-citizens on the Broward County voter rolls, for at least the following reasons: a. Non-citizens form a very large percentage of Broward County’s population. 53 Def. Resp. to Production Request No. 4. Hall Deposition, 29:3-5. 55 ACS data for 2015, available at https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/community_facts.xhtml. 56 Snipes Deposition, 46:12-19, 76:14-17, 77:20-24 57 Snipes Deposition, 77:25-78:3 58 Snipes Deposition, 80:4-7. 54 16 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000954 b. The Supervisor has specific knowledge that non-citizens may be on her voter rolls. In response to inquiries by the Department of Homeland Security, the office has identified registered voters who are seeking to become citizens or whose registration status is being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security.59 c. As shown in Exhibit A, the Supervisor has removed very few non-citizens from Broward County’s voter rolls. From 2011 until mid-2016, the Supervisor removed a total of 19 non-citizens. In my experience, a county the size of Broward County very likely has far more than 19 non-citizens on its voter rolls over the course of over five years. 70. In 2012, Florida (along with Colorado), was one of the first states to obtain access to the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (“SAVE”). Authorized officials may use this program to determine the citizenship of legal and formerly-legal residents. Currently, the Supervisor does not use this program in connection with removal of ineligible voters from the rolls, nor does she request or obtain any other type of information from the Department of Homeland Security regarding ineligible noncitizen registrants.60 71. As an election official who has substantial experience with the SAVE program, in my opinion the SAVE program can be a very valuable tool to identify potential noncitizens. 72. In addition, the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles verifies the citizenship status of all non-citizen driver’s license applicants.61 73. It is my opinion that because of the known issues with non-citizens on Broward County voter rolls, the Supervisor use both the SAVE program and driver’s license data to check for, and remove, non-citizens from the county voter rolls. Deceased Voters on Voter Rolls 74. Currently, the Florida Secretary of State provides information to the Supervisor regarding deceased voters. The Supervisor only uses information received from Florida Secretary of State regarding deaths in the state.62 She does appear to take consistent and regular action to remove deceased voters from the county registration rolls based on this information.63 59 Snipes Deposition, 127:18-22 Def. Resp. to Request for Admission No. 4; Def. Resp. to Production Request No. 6. 61 Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, Florida DMV Online Guide, available at: http://www.dmvflorida.org/drivers-license-nc.shtml. 62 Snipes Deposition, 75:12-76:11 63 Snipes Deposition, 49:21-50:17. 60 17 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000955 75. Nonetheless, the Supervisor does not take reasonable steps to remove deceased voters from the voter rolls, for the following reasons. 76. Initially, the number of older voters on the Broward County voter rolls is extremely – and implausibly – high. The following table shows that the number of centenarians (voters 100 years old or older), far exceeds the expected number of voters in that age category.64 This is an example of bloated voter rolls with respect to this demographic group: Population, 2015 85+ population Percentage of 85+ County 85+ population rate increase for Broward County Centenarians (ACS data 2015) National rate of centenarians Expected Broward rate of centenarians Expected Broward number of centenarians Actual number of centenarians on Broward voter rolls National 321,418,297 6,161,617 1.917% Broward 1,896,425 45,071 2.377% 24% Isn't south florida a place where people come to retire and die? 76,974 0.0239% 0.0297% 563 3,044 77. The ACS data does not provide the specific number of centenarians living in Broward County. Accordingly, the above table adjusts the expected number of centenarians living in Broward County by comparing the national and county percentages of those 85 years and older. Using this measure, Broward County’s percentage of centenarians should be 24% higher than the national number. 78. Even using these adjusted numbers, the above chart shows that Broward has approximately 563 centenarians, compared to 3,044 centenarians on the voter rolls.65 In other words, the number of centenarians on the Broward County voter rolls is 8.5 times the expected centenarian population. 79. The exceptionally bloated voter rolls, combined with problems identified below, show that the Supervisor is not taking reasonable steps to remove deceased voters from the voter rolls. 80. Although the Supervisor receives updates of deaths from the Secretary, there is no indication that she compares the cumulative, total universe of deceased voters against the voter rolls. It is necessary to periodically compare the cumulative list of deceased voters against the voter rolls, because; (1) the Supervisor can identify deceased voters who were overlooked during the update process, and (2) the Supervisor can identify deceased voters 64 65 Data obtained from ACS 2015. Plaintiff’s Discovery Production ACRU00189. 18 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000956 whose names were fraudulently or mistakenly registered after their names had been removed during the update process. 81. In my experience, state authorities generally receive information about deaths that occur within the state. But they can only obtain information about deaths occurring outside of the state by accessing other state records or the U.S. Social Security Administration’s Social Security Death Index (“SSDI”). Accordingly, information about a Florida voter who dies outside of the state will not automatically be forwarded to Florida authorities. 82. The Supervisor is aware that the information received from the Florida Secretary of State does not adequately identify out-of-state deaths. For example, the office regularly receives calls from relatives of registered Florida voters who died in another state.66 Without these calls, the Supervisor does not remove names from the voter rolls. 83. In another instance, in 2012 the Supervisor received information that 23% of a sample that included about one quarter of all County voters who passed away in 2011 remained on the voter rolls. This constituted 481 voters.67 84. The Supervisor does not obtain or use the U.S. Social Security Administration’s Social Security Death Index (SSDI).68 She also does not obtain or use data provided by the State and Territorial Exchange of Vital Events (STEVE) program, which also contains notices of deaths.69 85. It is my opinion that the Supervisor should take two reasonable steps: First, periodically compare cumulative death information against voter rolls. Second, use both the SSDI and the STEVE program to identify voters who have died outside of Florida. Recommendations 86. No single list maintenance activity can reasonably address the potential problems of inaccurate and incorrect voter registration data. For example, information about deceased voters is useless in identifying ineligible voters or non-citizens, or duplicate voter registrations. Accordingly, any general program that contains reasonable list maintenance steps must include a variety tools that address known problems and potential issues. For these reasons, a reasonable program should address all of the issues identified above. 66 Snipes Deposition, 47:18-48:9. Plaintiff’s Discovery Production ACRU00207. 68 Def.

Based upon the opinions expressed above, it is my opinion that the following actions are reasonable steps that Broward County should take in order to develop a general program and maintain the accuracy of the county voter rolls. a. Develop written training materials for staff engaged in list maintenance activities. b. Develop written policies and procedures for list maintenance activities. c. Ensure that key office personnel, to include the Supervisor of Elections and the Director of Voter Services are familiar with the information and reports filed with the Florida Secretary of State regarding list maintenance activities. d. Conduct regular and consistent list maintenance programs. e. Conduct at least one of the required activities under Florida law. In my experience, use of NCOA data is cheaper and more effective than the other methods. Further, these activities should be done at least once each year. f. Obtain access to DAVID and compare driver license data to the county voter rolls to identify errors and inaccuracies in the voter rolls. g. Obtain jury recusal information and use that as part of the process to remove ineligible voters, update voter information, or merge duplicate voter registrations. h. Confirm whether the Secretary of State provides felon information that includes felons convicted under federal law. If not, the Supervisor should directly contact the U.S. Department of Justice to obtain that information. i. Use driver license information and use the SAVE program to identify voters who are non-citizens. j. For deceased voters, periodically compare the voter rolls to a cumulative index of deceased voters, to remedy past errors and weed out attempts to register deceased voters. Also, use both the SSDI and the STEVE program to obtain information about voters who have died outside the State of Florida. Supplementation 88.

FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000964 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA FORT LAUDERDALE DIVISION AMERICAN CIVIL RIGHTS UNION, in its individual and corporate capacities, ) ) ) Plaintiff, ) ) v. ) ) BRENDA SNIPES, in her official capacity ) as the SUPERVISOR OF ) ELECTIONS of BROWARD COUNTY, ) FLORIDA, ) Defendant, ) ) v. ) ) 1199SEIU UNITED HEALTHCARE ) WORKERS EAST, ) ) Intervenor-Defendant ) ) Civil Action No. 16-cv-61474 EXPERT DECLARATION OF SCOTT E. GESSLER 1. I have been asked by the American Civil Rights Union (“ACRU”) to provide an opinion on whether the Broward County Supervisor of Elections conducts reasonable voter list maintenance activities in order to remove the names of ineligible voters from the Broward County voter rolls. 2. In developing this opinion, I have relied upon documents provided to me by ACRU, additional documents I have retrieved from the U.S. Census Bureau and Florida Secretary of State, as well as my experience as an election attorney, election law professor, and former Secretary of State for the State of Colorado. 3. ACRU has retained me to review documents and provide an opinion. My rate for this matter is $350 per hour. Education and Experience 4. My education is as follows: I received a B.A. from Yale University, a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School, and an M.B.A. from the J.L. Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University. I also received a certificate for the Senior 1 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000965 Executives in State and Local Government at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. 5. I served as the Colorado Secretary of State from January, 2011, until January, 2015. In Colorado, the Secretary of State serves as the state’s chief election officer. In that capacity my responsibilities included: supervising the conduct of primary, general, congressional vacancy, and statewide ballot issue elections in Colorado; enforcement of the Colorado election code; interpretation of the election code and promulgation of statewide regulations; statewide coordination and compliance with all federal election laws, including the Voting Rights Act (“VRA”), the National Voter Registration Act (“NVRA”), the Help America Vote Act (“HAVA”), and the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (“UOCAVA”); training, review, and oversight of local countywide election officials and local election practices and procedures; maintenance and modifications to the statewide voter database and state voter registration systems, maintenance of the statewide voter rolls, testing and certification of voting equipment, implementation and enforcement of campaign finance laws, and development of election policies; development of statewide election legal strategy and responses to legal actions; and management of office personnel, policies, and procedures. 6. I have worked as an attorney, primarily in the area of election law, from 2001 until 2010, and again from 2015 until the present. In this capacity I have represented candidates, parties, ballot issue committees, and independent groups in nearly all aspects of election-related activities. Further, I have litigated voter registration issues, primarily involving petition signatures and ballot access. 7. In addition, I am an adjunct professor at the University of Denver Law School, where I teach election law. I have previously taught election law at the University of Colorado Law School. 8. I have attended multiple conferences involving voter registration and list maintenance activities, include conferences conducted by the National Association of Secretaries of State, the Pew Foundation, and the Heritage Foundation, among others. 9. As Secretary of State I implemented various new programs and initiatives involving the administration of Colorado’s elections. These include: a. Participation in the Election Registration Information Center (“ERIC”) program, launched by the Pew Charitable Trusts. As Secretary of State, I evaluated the ERIC program and ensured Colorado was one of the very first states to join. During my time Colorado served as one of the first states to use voter registration and driver’s license matching to improve voter registration efforts, as well as improve the accuracy of voter rolls. b. The expansion and rebuilding of online voter registration in Colorado, which enabled voters not only to register online, but to also maintain their registration records online and remove their names from Colorado’s voter rolls. To my knowledge, 2 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000966 this system has been the most popular and heavily used system nationwide, from 2012 until the present. For this, Colorado was awarded the 2013 “State Technology Innovator Award” from the National Association of State Chief Information Officers. c. The review of all election procedures and the implementation of process mapping to improve and refine statewide and local procedures for election administration. This includes voter list maintenance and voter registration procedures and policies. d. regulations. A complete rewriting and streamlining of Colorado’s election e. Development of a program to remove non-citizens from the voter registration rolls. During my time as Secretary of State, Colorado became the first state to match driver’s license and voter roll information to identify potential non-citizens on the voter rolls, and Colorado and Florida were the first two states to obtain access to the Systematic Verification for Entitlements (“SAVE”) program for purposes of maintaining voter rolls. f. In response to new legislation, the development of an online, statewide electronic poll book and real-time access to the statewide voter database, to allow election-day voter registration and voting throughout the state. Colorado developed this complete system overhaul in nine months and is the only state to have such a system. g. Development of new online training programs for the public and for local election officials. For this program, Colorado won the 2014 “Ideas Award” from the National Association of Secretaries of State. h. Development and implementation of the “Accountability in Colorado Elections” (“ACE”) program, which provides online, interactive maps for election information, including voter registration statistics, registration by districts, voter turnout, election cost statistics, and county election activity and legal compliance information. For this project, Colorado was a finalist for the 2016 “Ideas Award” from the National Association of Secretaries of State. i. The launch and improvement of a statewide electronic delivery system for ballots to military and overseas civilian voters, which resulted in a substantial turnout increase. 10. Relevant to this matter, while serving as Secretary of State I was served with a completed, but unfiled, legal complaint for a federal lawsuit, alleging noncompliance with Section 8 of the NVRA. Following a series of discussions and the release and posting of information online, the Secretary of State’s office was able to satisfy the potential plaintiff’s concerns and the plaintiff did not file the suit. I personally developed the office’s strategy and served as lead negotiator in responding to that potential lawsuit. 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000967 Documents and Materials Relied Upon 11.

Summary of Opinion 12. It is my opinion that the Broward County Supervisor of Election has failed to conduct a general program and has failed to take reasonable steps to maintain the accuracy of the county voter rolls. Lack of a General Program 13. A modern election is complicated. It requires voter registration and voter roll maintenance for thousands, sometimes millions of voters. Election officials must use and compare databases, consistently and regularly update information, implement procedures to ensure that all citizens can exercise the fundamental right to vote, and simultaneously take steps to avoid fraud and abuse. Finally, election officials must follow state and federal law, and oftentimes are constrained by technological issues or local public opinion. 14. Because of the complexity and importance of elections, it is my opinion that any list maintenance system or program must include consistent and well-articulated policies and procedures. These are necessary for several reasons: to ensure equal and consistent treatment of all voters, to ensure the same steps are followed every time; to minimize human error and forgetfulness; to ensure consistency in the face of personnel turnover; 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000968 and to enable election officials to examine policies and procedures to identify deficiencies and problems. Consistent with my education and experience as an election official, any general program of list maintenance must include written or online training programs, written or online policies and procedures, and adequate recordkeeping and reporting to allow for later examination, analysis, or audit. 15. Broward County does not have, in my view, a reasonable list maintenance program that includes training, documentation, and reporting, and it has not taken reasonable steps to create one. My opinion is based on the following: a. Ms. Mary Hall, the Broward County Voter Services Director, has stated that Broward County has no written policies or procedures for list maintenance.1 b. Likewise, Ms. Dolly Gibson, a registration clerk at the Supervisor of Elections office, stated that there were no policies or procedures for updating voter registration records.2 c. Ms. Sonia Cahuasqui, a voter services clerk at the Supervisor of Elections office, stated that she does not use training materials when she trains people working for her. Instead, newly trained employees take notes and use them for reference. She further stated there are no manuals or procedures built into the voter registration database.3 d. In response to discovery requests, the Supervisor of Elections could not produce any written office policies, manuals, directives, or procedures concerning its programs for maintaining an accurate and current voter registration list and conducting a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible votes from the official lists of eligible voters.4 e. County officials are unable to search or sort the registration list to discover registrations that have been terminated based on the reason for termination, such as non-citizenship or felony disenfranchisement.5 f. Dr. Brenda Snipes, the Broward County Supervisor of Elections, personally expressed frustration about the lack of a process to verify or validate registrations. She believed that the State of Florida should participate in the ERIC system, because of the responsibilities placed on county Supervisors of Elections.6 1 Hall Deposition 13:17-14:4.

Exhibit A, attached to this report, contains a summary of the semi-annual Certification of Address List Maintenance Activities completed by the Supervisor of Elections for Broward county and submitted to the Florida Secretary of State, from 2011 to 2016.7 Additionally, it contains notices for printing mail pieces sent to the Supervisor’s outside vendor for the years 2014 to 2016. As seen on that exhibit, the total number of mail notices sent fluctuates wildly from year to year. Likewise, the number of inactive voters removed from the voter rolls fluctuates wildly. I have been unable to discern any pattern to explain this variation. These haphazard, varying numbers are inconsistent with a program of list maintenance. There is no semblance of consistency, which in my opinion shows a lack of regular activities or pattern of activities that would serve as a “program.” h. According to her statement, Ms. Hall does not recognize the semi-annual Certification of Address List Maintenance Activities completed by the Supervisor of Elections office and signed by Dr. Snipes,8 even though she is the Director of Voter Services and in charge of voter list maintenance activities for the office.9 These documents contain basic information about address list maintenance activities and are the official record sent to the Florida Secretary of State. The notices 2014 to 2016 show a pattern of process. As for pattern of removals and mailings it is all based on voter activity or inactivity. There probably is some sort of pattern. It just has never been identified. i. Finally, Ms. Hall, the voter services director, was not familiar with the term “mass non-forwardable mailing to all registered voters”10 on the certifications sent to the Florida Secretary of State every six months. Further, she had no knowledge and could not confirm whether no voters were removed from inactive status in 2016. In my opinion, the Director of Voter Services, who is responsible for voter list maintenance activities, should be generally aware of basic information regarding the removal of inactive voters from the voter rolls. 16. Taken together, these factors show an absence of training materials, an absence of written policies and procedures, and office leadership’s lack of familiarity regarding basic voter maintenance data. 17. Accordingly, it is my opinion that Broward County does not have a general program that allows election officials to properly manage, train, or consistently engage in list maintenance activities. Adherence to Minimum Statutory Requirements 18. Florida law grants Supervisors of Elections considerable latitude and authority to conduct list maintenance. For example, Florida law expressly allows Supervisors of Elections to: 7 See Defendant’s Response to Plaintiff’s Requests for Production, Exhibit A.

Request and use information from out-of-state voter registration officials We run NCOA in order to identify duplicates.11 b.

Obtain and use information from returned jury notices for list maintenance purposes.15 Jury noticesf. Obtain and use information from the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles for list maintenance purposes.16 The DHSMV has such a system that is free for Supervisors to use called DAVID.17 g. Obtain and use information from “other sources” for list maintenance purposes.18 Death, felony and non-citizen questions for Mary. DAVID-Fred is working on this. h. Obtain and use information regarding death, felony status, non-citizen status, or change of address from “sources other than those identified.”19 i. Remove ineligible registrants based on information from other sources, not explicitly stated in the statute. 19. Florida law does, however, establish a minimum level of activity for Supervisors of Elections. Specifically, Supervisors must engage in at least one of the following three activities biannually: (a) Change-of-address information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees is used to identify registered voters whose addresses might have changed; 11 Fla. Stat. 98.045(2)(b). Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(a). 13 Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(b). 14 Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(c). 15 Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(a). 16 Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(a). 17 Snipes Deposition 61:13-25, 62:1-15. 18 Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(b) 19 Fla. Stat. 98.075(6) 12 7 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000971 (b) Change-of-address information is identified from returned nonforwardable return-if-undeliverable mail sent to all registered voters in the county; or (c) Change-of-address information is identified from returned nonforwardable return-if-undeliverable address confirmation requests mailed to all registered voters who have not voted in the last 2 years and who did not make a written request that their registration records be updated during that time.20 20. It is my opinion that Broward County does not engage in any of the above minimum activities. My basis for this opinion is as follows. Section (2)(a) 21. First, Broward County does not identify registered voters whose address might have changed by using “change-of-address information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees.” According to Ms. Hall, the only information the office receives from the Post Office is returned mail with yellow labels stating that a particular mail piece is not deliverable at a particular address. 21 Ms. Hall was clear that this is the only information from the post office used by the Supervisor of Elections.22 22. The yellow labels are not “change-of-address information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees.” Although Ms. Hall stated that her office uses NCOA data because it processes information on the yellow return labels,23 her understanding of NCOA data is incorrect. The United States Postal Service has developed and maintains a database of all address changes and forwarding information throughout the United States. It licenses this information to vendors, who in turn use the information to provide updated address information to customers. Election officials will purchase services from the vendors and use NCOA data to learn, among other things, if and where a voter has moved. This allows officials to communicate with the voter (usually by mail) to confirm whether, in fact, the NCOA data is correct. By doing this, an election official may begin the deregistration or registration update process without sending mail and having it returned as undeliverable. It is a way to save substantial time and money, because an election official can avoid sending mail that the Postal Service already believes is undeliverable. According to the statute, when a supervisor receives change of address information from the NCOA database, the supervisor “must change the registration records to reflect the new address” and then send an address change notice to that new address.24 We run NCOA scrub every other year, that data was provided in CD (last process was 2015). NCOA scrub results (output file)is returned to SOE then data is imported into VR for VS department to process. 20 Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(a)-(c). Hall Deposition 50:19-51:20 22 Id. 23 Id. 24 Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(a). 21 8 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000972 23. Further, in response to a request for production, the Supervisor could not produce any records of “United States Postal Service National Change of Address database requests.”25 24. In its responses to interrogatories, the Supervisor stated that she does not obtain or use data from commercial vendors regarding changes of address for registrants on the rolls.26 Accordingly the Supervisor does not receive NCOA information from any USPS vendor. 25. Finally, processing information from yellow return labels is not using “change-ofaddress information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees.” Not true. on CD we provided data for 2015. Not true we use Commercial Printers you should have invoices. Section (2)(b) Mary might be 26. Second, the Supervisor of Elections does appear to use “change of address able to clarify information” from “returned nonforwardable return-if-undeliverable mail.” But the Supervisor does not receive this information from “mail sent to all registered voters in the this. county,” as required by Section (2)(b). 27. To be sure, Ms. Hall stated that the county sends a mailing to all registered active and inactive voters every odd year, 27 and that the mail is nonforwardable.28 But it is my opinion that Ms. Hall is incorrect. As an initial matter, Ms. Hall is mistaken about NCOA information,29 and she does not appear to recognize or understand reporting terms used by the Florida Secretary of State, such as “mass non-forwardable mailing to all registered voters.”30 28. More importantly, responses and documentary evidence produced by the Supervisor of Elections directly contradicts Ms. Hall’s testimony. 29. Every six months, the Supervisor certifies Address List Maintenance Activities to the Florida Secretary of State. These activities are personally signed and certified by Dr. Brenda Snipes, and they were provided by the Supervisor in response to Plaintiff’s requests for production.31 In my opinion, an election official like the Supervisor would only certify these documents, send them to the Secretary of State, and provide them in this case, if the official believes they contain accurate information regarding list maintenance activities conducted by the Supervisor. 25 Def.

These certs were corrected and data was provided on CD to include mail pieces and data files. 26 9 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000973 30. Exhibit A summarizes information in the certified address list maintenance activities conducted by the Supervisor from 2011 through 2016. a. During these years, not once did the Supervisor certify that she had done a “Mass (nonforwardable) mailing to all registered voters in county.” Take a look at corrected certs. Dr. Snipes has them. b. The number of mailings sent is wholly inconsistent with the number of registered voters in Broward County. In 2015 and 2016, the number of registered voters in Broward County ranged from approximately 1.2 million to 1.3 million. The year 2015 saw a total of 67,648 pieces of mail sent, which is extremely small compared to the number of voters. c. These certified numbers are corroborated by the notices for mail sent to the off-site printer. The numbers sent to the off-site printer are extremely close to the certified numbers, and in some instances they match exactly. 31. Based upon the documentary evidence in this case, my opinion is that the Supervisor has not sent mail to every registered voter in the county in accordance with Section (2)(b). Section (2)(c) 32. Third, Section (2)(c) allows a supervisor to use “change-of-address information” that is identified from returned nonforwardable return-ifundeliverable address confirmation requests. These address confirmation requests must be “mailed to all registered voters who have not voted in the last 2 years and who did not make a written request that their registration records be updated during that time.”32 33. None of the testimony addressed this situation. Therefore, for this opinion relies upon the summary contained in Exhibit A of the certified reports produced by the Supervisor. The Supervisor certified that she met this section for all or part of every year, by checking the box titled “Targeted address confirmation request (nonforwardable) mailing to registered voters who have not voted or requested an update to their records within the last 2 years.” 34. Although the supervisor certified compliance, the number of mail pieces is impossibly small. In other words, based upon the amount of mail sent by the Supervisor, it is impossible for her to have sent mail to all voters who failed to vote or requested an update. 35. Section (2)(c) requires the Supervisor to send “address confirmation requests.” For the half-years from 2011 to 2016, the number of address confirmation requests fluctuated between 456 at the lowest (in 2011 H2) to 7,025 (in 2015 H2). But the number 32 Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(a)-(c). 10 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000974 of voters who did not vote in the previous two years was far, far higher. Take, for example, the two years prior to the second half of 2015, which would be June 2013 through June 2015. In the 2014 November election, Florida had 51% turnout.33 I assume that Broward County had a similar voter turnout of 51%, which would be 476,474.34 That means in the two years prior to the second half of 2015, approximately 447,788 voters did not vote. 36. Even though approximately 448,000 voters did not vote in the two years preceding the second half of 2015, the Supervisor only sent out 7,025 address confirmation requests. 37. Even if Broward County had slightly greater or lower turnout than statewide turnout, it makes no material difference. The difference between approximately 448,000 non-voters and 7,025 address confirmation pieces is too large. Likewise, it does not matter whether the Florida Secretary of State calculates voter turnout based on active voters or all registered voters. In either instance, the number of non-voters dwarfs the number of address confirmation requests sent. And in my experience, there is no possibility that nearly all of non-voters in the preceding two years requested a change of address. 38. Even if one adds up all of pieces of mail sent in the second half of 2015 (67,648), it still does not come even close to the number of non-voters. 39. As with my earlier analysis, the number of mail pieces sent in 2015 is corroborated by the notices sent to the off-site printer. Accordingly, the certified numbers accurately reflect the number of mail pieces mail sent. 40. Finally it is impossible that the Supervisor sent mail to all non-voters in other years, even the two-year period following a presidential election. For example, take the second half of 2013. Using the same analysis: Preceding two years: June 2011 to June 2013 Federal Election: 2012 (presidential election) Statewide voter turnout: 72% Broward County voters: 762,34535 Broward County non-voters: 296,468 Address confirmation requests sent in 2013 H2: 5,034 Total of all mailings sent in 2013 H2: 61,495 33 Florida Department of State, Voter Turnout, available at http://dos.myflorida.com/elections/data-statistics/elections-data/voter-turnout/. 34 Florida Department of State, Ballots by Type Activity for 2014 General Election, available at http://dos.myflorida.com/media/694976/2014ballotscast.pdf. 35 Florida Department of State, Ballots by Type Activity for 2012 General Election, available at http://dos.myflorida.com/media/693340/2012ballotscast.pdf. 11 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000975 41. Accordingly, it is my opinion that the Broward County Supervisor of Elections has not conducted a mail program that meets the requirements of Section (2)(c). Bloated Voter Rolls and Other Warning Signs 42. In my opinion and experience, election officials must look closely at voter registration or list maintenance problems and determine whether they have implemented procedures and policies to address the problems. The Broward County Supervisor of Elections has not, in my opinion, taken reasonable steps to address well-known or easily identified problems with its list maintenance programs. 43. An unusually high percentage of registered voters serves as one of the main indicators that a jurisdiction does not take reasonable steps to maintain voter registration lists. Broward County is a classic example of a jurisdiction that has alarmingly high voter registration rates, often exceeding the voting age population. The following exhibit table shows Broward County’s registration rates. Broward County Registration Rates Year 2010 2012 2014 2016 Citizen Voting Age Population 1,098,140 1,134,385 1,187,020 1,240,000 Total Active Voters 1,042,290 1,140,454 1,071,305 1,194,192 Total Active and Inactive voters 1,214,714 not avail 1,198,616 1,301,470 Registration rate, active only 95% 101% 90% 96% Registration rate, all voters 111% Not available 101% 105% Sources: • ACS data, 5-year CVAP estimates for 2010 (ACRU00720), 2012 (ACRU0072100724), 2014 (ACRU00726-00729) • EAC data, 2010 (ACRU00317), 2012 (ACRU00403), and 2014 (ACRU00715) Election Administration and Voting Survey Comprehensive Report • The data has been produced by Plaintiff’s in discovery as document numbers ACRU00237-00730 • 2016 Citizen Voting Age Population was estimated, based on historical growth • 2016 total current active was taken from the SOE’s website • Total registration at the time of the 2016 election was taken from the Voter Extract File CD available from the Florida Division of Elections Look at the doc I sent you over email as per Dr. Snipes request. comparing registered voters to population in broward county. 44. These registration rates range from 101% to 111%. Accordingly, in each election year Broward County had more registered voters than eligible voters living in the county. Even if one takes registration rates for active voters only, in my opinion and experience the numbers are still exceedingly high. 45. Bloated voter rolls do not, standing alone, show an unreasonable list maintenance program. They do, however, serve as a warning sign that problems exist. With voter registration rates in these ranges, it is my opinion that any election official must analyze his or her processes and procedures to determine whether he or she is taking reasonable steps to maintain voter rolls. 12 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000976 46. Broward County has not taken reasonable steps to maintain voter rolls, as evidenced by the county’s lack of documented and consistent procedures, inadequate mail program, and bloated voter rolls. As noted above, the county does not use NCOA data, does not mail to all registered voters, and does not mail to even a substantial portion of non-voters. But Broward County’s exceedingly high registration rates show that the Supervisor has taken inadequate steps to maintain voter rolls. 47. Media reports and complaints to the Supervisor of Elections show that the Supervisor of Elections has knowledge of specific deficiencies in her list maintenance programs, and she has not taken reasonable steps to address known, and often pervasive, problems. Use of Driver’s License Data 48. One of the most powerful tools that are available for obtaining accurate address information and removing duplicate voter registrations is driver’s license information. The ERIC database provides an important example of this. In order to belong to ERIC, a state must provide both voter registration information and driver’s license information. By using minimum matching criteria, ERIC can match names and other personal information to identify errors in voter rolls. In my experience, the comparison between these two state databases – voter rolls and driver licenses – is far and away the most powerful tool for cleaning and maintaining voter rolls. 49. The Supervisor of Elections cannot participate in ERIC because the system is available only to states (including Washington D.C.), and Florida has chosen not to participate thus far. Nonetheless, the Supervisor of Elections can get most of the benefit of participating in ERIC simply by comparing her voter rolls to Florida’s driver’s license information. 50. Currently the Supervisor does not seek or receive driver license information. For example, a person may move and update their driver’s license, and the Supervisor will not have this information to update the voter rolls. 36 51. The Supervisor does not use the Driver and Vehicle Information Database (“DAVID”) provided by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles to check for duplicate registrations and address accuracy.37 This database is available to the Supervisor and it is free of charge.38 52. In my opinion, use of DAVID to compare voter information to driver license information is not only a reasonable, but also very important step to take as part of a list maintenance program. In my opinion this tool will greatly help list maintenance efforts. It 36 Snipes Deposition 155:10-25. Snipes Deposition 61:13-25; 62:1-15; 63:1-22. 38 Snipes Deposition 62:20-63:13. 37 13 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000977 is free of charge. Further, other Florida counties already use DAVID,39 and thus the Supervisor will be able to learn from their experiences. Jury notices 53. When called for jury duty, people will sometimes seek to recuse themselves because they no longer live in the jurisdiction or are not a citizen. Likewise, relatives or friends may inform the court that the person called for jury duty has died. This is all extremely valuable information to help maintain voter rolls. The information is a direct admission of ineligibility, or in the case of a deceased person the information comes from a highly credible source. Indeed, Florida law expressly empowers Supervisor Snipes to obtain and use jury notice information for list maintenance purposes.40 Despite concluding that it would be helpful to utilize this data, she does not.41 54. Currently the Supervisor does not obtain jury excusal forms or information from courts, including the local circuit court.42 This information can easily be obtained, because the clerk of the county court and Supervisor’s office are very near one another. 43 Furthermore, the Supervisor already has at least one staff member who is familiar with the forms and understands what information is available.44 55. In my opinion, use of jury recusal forms is a reasonable step to maintain voter rolls and reduce the bloated registration numbers. Duplicate voter registrations 56. Duplicate voter registrations are generally divided into two categories: instances where the voters have two registrations within the same state and instances where voters are registered in two or more states. 57. The Supervisor relies heavily upon the Florida Secretary of State to identify voters who are registered at more than one Florida address.45 Nonetheless, the Supervisor is the election official who determines whether or not to remove a duplicate voter registration. By relying upon the Secretary, it seems that the Supervisor takes reasonable steps to remove duplicate voter registrations. 57. But my opinion must be qualified, because I have not received information about the specific matching criteria that the Secretary or the Supervisor uses to identify 39 Snipes Deposition 63:3-13. Fla. Stat. 98.065(4)(a)-(b). 41 Snipes Deposition 31:19-32:9. 42 Def. Resp. to Request for Admission No. 3; Def. Resp. to Production Request No. 5; Snipes Deposition 31:19-25. 43 Gibson Deposition 34:24-35:7. 44 Gibson Deposition 10:1-19:20. 45 Snipes Deposition 151:15-154:6; Hall Deposition 53:20-54:10 40 14 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000978 duplicate voters. The effectiveness and reasonableness of efforts to remove duplicate voter registrations depend heavily upon the matching criteria used. Absent knowledge of these criteria, I cannot form an opinion as to whether this activity is a reasonable step towards maintaining accurate voter rolls. 59. With respect to duplicate registrations in which a voter has registered in Florida and another state, the Supervisor has been made aware of many duplicate registrations in Florida and New York.46 Nonetheless, the Supervisor has not sought or obtained any information regarding potential duplicate registrations in Broward County and other states.47 60. If the Supervisor were to receive information regarding an out-of-state duplicate voter registration, she would send that voter a piece of mail to confirm residence in Broward County, or alternatively begin the removal process.48 61. In my experience, every state49 except Alabama makes their voter registration databases publicly available at low cost. Because there are known problems with duplicate voter registrations in New York, it is my opinion obtaining the New York voter registration database and comparing it to the Broward County database is a reasonable step that will reduce the bloated registration rolls and address a known problem. Obtaining and using this information for list maintenance purposes is expressly permitted under Florida law.50 Felon Registrations 62. As with in-state duplicate information, the Supervisor relies entirely upon the Florida Secretary of State for felon voting information. This is her primary source of information and the only consistent database check that she conducts.51 In addition, she will occasionally receive news reports or complaints about felons who are illegally registered to vote.52 63. At this point, I am unable to form an opinion as to whether reliance upon the Secretary of State is reasonable, because I do not know whether the Secretary transmits only felons convicted under state law, or also includes felons convicted under federal law. In my experience, the two types of convictions come from separate databases, and some states have occasionally failed to use federal conviction data. The Supervisor herself does 46 Snipes Deposition Exhibit 7; Plaintiff’s Production ACRU00165-00166, 00183, 00185. Hall Deposition 54:11-22. 48 Hall Deposition 56:15-18. 49 As used here, the term “state” includes Washington D.C. and United States territories. 50 Fla. Stat. 98.045(2)(b). 51 Hall Deposition 48:11-14, Cahuasqui Deposition 20:9-23. 52 Snipes Deposition Exhibit 4; Plaintiff’s Discovery Production ACRU00194-00195, 00223-00225. 47 15 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000979 not request or directly receive any information or communications form the U.S. Attorney or federal courts regarding felony convictions.53 64. Although there is some fluctuation in the yearly number of felons removed from the Broward County voter rolls, Exhibit A shows generally shows a consistent pattern of activity that does not, in my opinion, give rise to concerns. 65. In my opinion, the Supervisor should confirm that the Secretary of State felon updates include felons convicted in federal courts. If the Secretary of State does not include that information in felon updates, then the Supervisor should take reasonable steps to obtain that information and regularly use it to remove convicted felons from the Broward County voter rolls. Non-Citizen Registrations 66. The Supervisor does not check voter registrations for citizenship and does not verify citizenship,54 despite the fact that as of 2015, there were 259,115 noncitizens in Broward County, which represented 14.1% of the population.55 67. There is substantial confusion regarding whether there are any checks to determine whether voters are citizens. At one point, Dr. Snipes surmised that potential voters were vetted for citizenship based upon a driver license comparison or Social Security number comparison,56 but she later admitted she did not know.57 In my experience, none of the comparisons described by Dr. Snipes provide citizenship information. 68. In any event, the Supervisor does not check for citizenship, but Dr. Snipes believes that it would be a good idea for Broward County to independently check for citizenship.58 69. I agree, and my opinion is that the Supervisor should take reasonable steps to identify non-citizens on the Broward County voter rolls, for at least the following reasons: a. Non-citizens form a very large percentage of Broward County’s population. 53 Def. Resp. to Production Request No. 4. Hall Deposition, 29:3-5. 55 ACS data for 2015, available at https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/community_facts.xhtml. 56 Snipes Deposition, 46:12-19, 76:14-17, 77:20-24 57 Snipes Deposition, 77:25-78:3 58 Snipes Deposition, 80:4-7. 54 16 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000980 b. The Supervisor has specific knowledge that non-citizens may be on her voter rolls. In response to inquiries by the Department of Homeland Security, the office has identified registered voters who are seeking to become citizens or whose registration status is being investigated by the Department of Homeland Security.59 c. As shown in Exhibit A, the Supervisor has removed very few non-citizens from Broward County’s voter rolls. From 2011 until mid-2016, the Supervisor removed a total of 19 non-citizens. In my experience, a county the size of Broward County very likely has far more than 19 non-citizens on its voter rolls over the course of over five years. 70. In 2012, Florida (along with Colorado), was one of the first states to obtain access to the federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (“SAVE”). Authorized officials may use this program to determine the citizenship of legal and formerly-legal residents. Currently, the Supervisor does not use this program in connection with removal of ineligible voters from the rolls, nor does she request or obtain any other type of information from the Department of Homeland Security regarding ineligible noncitizen registrants.60 71. As an election official who has substantial experience with the SAVE program, in my opinion the SAVE program can be a very valuable tool to identify potential noncitizens. 72. In addition, the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles verifies the citizenship status of all non-citizen driver’s license applicants.61 73. It is my opinion that because of the known issues with non-citizens on Broward County voter rolls, the Supervisor use both the SAVE program and driver’s license data to check for, and remove, non-citizens from the county voter rolls. Deceased Voters on Voter Rolls 74. Currently, the Florida Secretary of State provides information to the Supervisor regarding deceased voters. The Supervisor only uses information received from Florida Secretary of State regarding deaths in the state.62 She does appear to take consistent and regular action to remove deceased voters from the county registration rolls based on this information.63 59 Snipes Deposition, 127:18-22 Def. Resp. to Request for Admission No. 4; Def. Resp. to Production Request No. 6. 61 Florida Department of Motor Vehicles, Florida DMV Online Guide, available at: http://www.dmvflorida.org/drivers-license-nc.shtml. 62 Snipes Deposition, 75:12-76:11 63 Snipes Deposition, 49:21-50:17. 60 17 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000981 75. Nonetheless, the Supervisor does not take reasonable steps to remove deceased voters from the voter rolls, for the following reasons. 76. Initially, the number of older voters on the Broward County voter rolls is extremely – and implausibly – high. The following table shows that the number of centenarians (voters 100 years old or older), far exceeds the expected number of voters in that age category.64 This is an example of bloated voter rolls with respect to this demographic group: Population, 2015 85+ population Percentage of 85+ County 85+ population rate increase for Broward County Centenarians (ACS data 2015) National rate of centenarians Expected Broward rate of centenarians Expected Broward number of centenarians Actual number of centenarians on Broward voter rolls National 321,418,297 6,161,617 1.917% Broward 1,896,425 45,071 2.377% 24% Isn't south florida a place where people come to retire and die? 76,974 0.0239% 0.0297% 563 3,044 77. The ACS data does not provide the specific number of centenarians living in Broward County. Accordingly, the above table adjusts the expected number of centenarians living in Broward County by comparing the national and county percentages of those 85 years and older. Using this measure, Broward County’s percentage of centenarians should be 24% higher than the national number. 78. Even using these adjusted numbers, the above chart shows that Broward has approximately 563 centenarians, compared to 3,044 centenarians on the voter rolls.65 In other words, the number of centenarians on the Broward County voter rolls is 8.5 times the expected centenarian population. 79. The exceptionally bloated voter rolls, combined with problems identified below, show that the Supervisor is not taking reasonable steps to remove deceased voters from the voter rolls. 80. Although the Supervisor receives updates of deaths from the Secretary, there is no indication that she compares the cumulative, total universe of deceased voters against the voter rolls. It is necessary to periodically compare the cumulative list of deceased voters against the voter rolls, because; (1) the Supervisor can identify deceased voters who were overlooked during the update process, and (2) the Supervisor can identify deceased voters 64 65 Data obtained from ACS 2015. Plaintiff’s Discovery Production ACRU00189. 18 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000982 whose names were fraudulently or mistakenly registered after their names had been removed during the update process. 81. In my experience, state authorities generally receive information about deaths that occur within the state. But they can only obtain information about deaths occurring outside of the state by accessing other state records or the U.S. Social Security Administration’s Social Security Death Index (“SSDI”). Accordingly, information about a Florida voter who dies outside of the state will not automatically be forwarded to Florida authorities. 82. The Supervisor is aware that the information received from the Florida Secretary of State does not adequately identify out-of-state deaths. For example, the office regularly receives calls from relatives of registered Florida voters who died in another state.66 Without these calls, the Supervisor does not remove names from the voter rolls. 83. In another instance, in 2012 the Supervisor received information that 23% of a sample that included about one quarter of all County voters who passed away in 2011 remained on the voter rolls. This constituted 481 voters.67 84. The Supervisor does not obtain or use the U.S. Social Security Administration’s Social Security Death Index (SSDI).68 She also does not obtain or use data provided by the State and Territorial Exchange of Vital Events (STEVE) program, which also contains notices of deaths.69 85. It is my opinion that the Supervisor should take two reasonable steps: First, periodically compare cumulative death information against voter rolls. Second, use both the SSDI and the STEVE program to identify voters who have died outside of Florida. Recommendations 86. No single list maintenance activity can reasonably address the potential problems of inaccurate and incorrect voter registration data. For example, information about deceased voters is useless in identifying ineligible voters or non-citizens, or duplicate voter registrations. Accordingly, any general program that contains reasonable list maintenance steps must include a variety tools that address known problems and potential issues. For these reasons, a reasonable program should address all of the issues identified above. 66 Snipes Deposition, 47:18-48:9. Plaintiff’s Discovery Production ACRU00207. 68 Def. Resp. to Interrogatory No. 5; Hall Deposition 49:19-50:5; Snipes Deposition 61:714. 69 Def. Resp. to Interrogatory No. 5; Snipes Deposition 47:10-25. 67 19 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-000983 87. Based upon the opinions expressed above, it is my opinion that the following actions are reasonable steps that Broward County should take in order to develop a general program and maintain the accuracy of the county voter rolls. a. Develop written training materials for staff engaged in list maintenance activities. b. Develop written policies and procedures for list maintenance activities. c. Ensure that key office personnel, to include the Supervisor of Elections and the Director of Voter Services are familiar with the information and reports filed with the Florida Secretary of State regarding list maintenance activities. d. Conduct regular and consistent list maintenance programs. e. Conduct at least one of the required activities under Florida law. In my experience, use of NCOA data is cheaper and more effective than the other methods. Further, these activities should be done at least once each year. f. Obtain access to DAVID and compare driver license data to the county voter rolls to identify errors and inaccuracies in the voter rolls. g. Obtain jury recusal information and use that as part of the process to remove ineligible voters, update voter information, or merge duplicate voter registrations. h. Confirm whether the Secretary of State provides felon information that includes felons convicted under federal law. If not, the Supervisor should directly contact the U.S. Department of Justice to obtain that information. i. Use driver license information and use the SAVE program to identify voters who are non-citizens. j. For deceased voters, periodically compare the voter rolls to a cumulative index of deceased voters, to remedy past errors and weed out attempts to register deceased voters. Also, use both the SSDI and the STEVE program to obtain information about voters who have died outside the State of Florida. Supplementation 88.

This needs to be verified because these INS offices are being run by foreign citizens in Miami Dade County to the extreme and only illegals or non citizens can get all the government jobs, increase property taxes, seek new developments and own new business. Sir, native and natural born Blacks citizens who families been in America since 1619, are being erased by foreign influences who have put them in a state of involuntary servitude because they steal elections in Miami Dade County. We need your help in Miami sir and don't believe what they tell you. Their mouths are fill with guile and deceipt and they don't tell the truth sir.. They have early voting for 14 days which is a violation of FLA LAW, but there is no enforcement because almost all elected officials benefits from illegal voting that's stealing America from Americans bit by bit. It's time to revoke these illegals right of passage and non citizens here more than 5 or 10 years without applying for Naturalization statuses. In years ahead I predict a new Civil war will take place and Congress will be the blame for allowing foreigners to vote in national elections, so they can keep control and powers over America and native and natural born black Americans.

Black America W.E.B. DuBois, a great internationalist, disfavored liberalized immigration because he feared that immigration policy was being used to displace the demand for African American workers.. African Americans were brought to this country against their will. Dr. King said migrants who have entered the country without inspection or overstayed their visas lack lawful immigration status. Changes over the decade they often have no way to normalize their status. As the law remains unchanged they are forced to live in society-illegally. America no issue has affected the economic well-being of African Americans more that the phenomenon of immigration. It's related policy manifestations. Black American community as slaves were brought as involuntary immigrants; it placed them disproportionately in the states. America the black migration out of the South did not begin until after 1915. When mass immigration late 19th & early 20th Centuries from Europe & Asia were cut off by war 1914-1918 & by restrictive legislation from 1921-1965, immigration of 1965 has continued to this day. America immigration has served largely to marginalize the imperative to address squarely & affirmatively the legacy of the denial of equal economic opportunity resulting from previous centuries of slavery & segregation which the civil rights movement of the 60s sought to redress. America in this post-1965 era of mass immigration, no racial or ethnic group has benefited less or been harmed more than the nation’s African American community. From 1965 to 2007, the foreign-born population in the US has soared from 8.4 million persons to 39.3 million persons. America the surge in immigration led to the replacement for the first time in the nation’s history of black Americans as the nation’s largest minority group, hispanics now hold that distinction. America Black Americans were 13.5 percent of the nation’s native born population, they were only 7.8 percent of the foreign-born population in 2000. Hispanics, on the other hand, were only 8.5 percent of the native-born population while being 45.2 percent of the foreign-born population. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001016 America major explanations for the rapid growth of the nation’s post-1965 immigrant population has been & continues to be illegal immigration. It is estimated that there were 11.3 million illegal immigrants in 2007 & 1.1 mil persons believed not counted in the published estimated. America Congress since 1986 have legalized the status of over 6 million illegal immigrants it is not too much of a stretch of the imagination to conclude that upwards of half the current foreign-born population of the country entered in violation of the nation’s immigration laws. America most illegal immigrants come from some of the world’s poorest nation’s, the quality of the education received is likely to be poor as well which means that the low levels of educational attainment. America Illegal immigrant workers tend to concentrate in labor markets that have high concentrations of legal immigrants and citizens (native born and naturalized who are from similar ethnic and racial backgrounds. America as a consequence, there is a tendency for illegal immigrants to cluster in metropolitan areas (especially central cities) or in rural areas that already have concentrations of persons from similar backgrounds. America however black workers also tend to be concentrated in metropolitan areas – especially in central cities. The only rural labor markets where black Americans are of significant number are in the Southeastern states – a legacy of the slavery heritage of yesteryear shameful. America illegal immigrants overwhelmingly seek work in low skilled labor markets & black American labor force is so disproportionately concentrated in the same low wage sector, there is little doubt of the significant overlaps in competing in same sectors of the labor markets. America this is because illegal immigrant workers view low skilled jobs in the American economy as being highly preferable to the job opportunities in their homelands that they have left fleeing without any wars, persecutions or natural disasters. America it is not that citizen workers will not do the work that illegal immigrants are willing to do. Rather, it is that citizens often will not do the work for the same pay and under the same working conditions as will illegal immigrants – nor should they. America illegal immigrants are available because the federal government has chosen to do little to monitor the work sites of the nation. Seldom are any penalties placed on employers who violate the ban against hiring illegal immigrants working even though it has existed since 1986. America the federal government, employers who try to follow the law are penalized because they must compete with employers who violate the law & benefit by paying low wages & providing poor working conditions that are more profitable to employer but hazardous to illegal workers. America the status quo, therefore is a perversity of justice. Law breakers are rewarded while law abiders are punished. Mass immigration has affected the internal migration patterns of U.S. citizen workers. There is no way to measure loss since many victims are no longer employed. America illegal immigrants who are overwhelmingly present in that same labor market sector adversely affect the economic opportunities of legal citizen workers because the illegal workers are preferred workers. America the willingness of policy makers to tolerate the presence of illegal immigrants in the nation’s labor force exposes a seamy side of the nation’s collective consciousness. America illegal immigrants – who themselves are often exploited even though they may not think so —are allowed to cause harm in the form of unemployment and depressed wages to the most vulnerable workers in the American work force. America the continued reluctance by our natl govt to get illegal immigrants out of the labor force & to keep them out by enforcing the existing sanctions at the work site against employers of illegal immigrants is itself a massive violation of the civil rights of skilled workers. America in the United States and of low skilled black American workers in particular. Illegal immigrants have no right to work in the United States in fact they have no right to even be in the country as illegals. America enforcing our nation’s labor laws including the protection of the legal labor force from the presence of illegal immigrant workers is the civil rights issue of this generation of American workers. America no one would benefit more by the adherence to that standard than would low skilled black American workers and their families. Demand enforcement of PUBLIC LAWS 88452, 92424, 93644 & 95568. Stop letting illegals block Mrs. Mary L. Hill founder EOA from her official duties. We thank you for your time and attention.

FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001020 PUBLIC INTEREST LEGAL FOUN DATIONW January l2, 2016 VIA CERTIFLED MAIL Mr. Chris H. Chambless Clay County Supervisor of Elections 500 N. Orange Ave. Green Cove Springs, FL 32043 Dear Mr. Chambless: I am writing on behalf of the Public Interest Legal Foundation to notify you that your county is in apparent violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act based on our research. The Public Interest Legal Foundation is a nonpartisan, nonpro?t, public?interest law that specializes in conducting civil litigation in high?profile matters affecting elections, voting, and other political processes of the nation and providing the public with information regarding efforts to damage the integrity of American elections. Voter rolls across America contain substantial numbers of ineligible voters, resulting in the possible disenfranchisement of legally eligible voters via ballot dilution that threatens to taint the integrity of the electoral process. Based on our comparison of publicly available information published by the US. Census Bureau and the federal Election Assistance Commission, your county is failing to comply with Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act (NV RA). Federal law requires election of?cials to conduct a reasonable effort to maintain voter registration lists free of dead voters, ineligible voters and voters who have moved away; 52 U.S.C. 20503 and 20507. In short, your county has an implausible number of registered voters compared to the number of eligible living citizens. The Attorney General of the United States may enforce the list maintenance requirements of Section 8 of NVRA to ensure that ineligible voters are not participating in the political process, but she has failed to do so. Public Interest Le gal Foundation has therefore taken on the task of notifying you of your county?s violation. 209 West Main Street, Plainfield, Indian??fg ??WARD4 Page 2 This letter serves as the statutory notice to your county, required by 52 U.S.C. 20510(b) prior to the commencement of any lawsuit in order to enforce provisions of Section 8 of the NVRA, 52 U.S.C. 20507. It is our hope that your county will work quickly towards full compliance with 52 U.S.C. 20507. If not, according to the federal statute, a lawsuit under the NVRA may be ?led twenty (2 0) days after the receipt of this notice by a private party since the NVRA contains a private right of action to enforce the provisions of the statute. For any lawsuits initiated by a private party, an award of attorney?s fees, expenses and costs incurred are available under 52 U.S.C. ?20510(c). If you believe the information reported by the Election Assistance Commission for 2014 (?2014 EAC Report?) or to the Secretary of State currently is inaccurate, please state the basis for that belief. In particular, if the publicly available information cited above is no longer accurate, it would be help?il if you could provide: updated registration data since the publication of the 2014 EAC report; records your office obtained or received from Florida district court clerks, United States District Court clerks, or other sources regarding individuals who were ineligible to serve on juries because of a lack of American citizenship, death, or relocation out of the jurisdiction, including but not limited to records concerning juror quali?cation questionnaires?whether completed via the Internet or returned through the mail?on which the individual that completed the questionnaire indicated that he or she is not a United States citizen, please include subsequent list maintenance records produced pursuant to inquiries based on this information; (0) the number of ineligible voters purged by category dead, duplicate, ineligible) and by date; the source agency that provided the identifying information of the purged deceased and when the data was provided; the number of notices sent to inactive voters since the publication of the 2014 EAC Report including the date, scope and contents of any countywide mailing to all registered voters; the names of the staff in your of?ce responsible for conducting list maintenance obligations who may appear on list maintenance records or who alter list maintenance records in furtherance of the duties of the office; the number of ineligible voters removed for criminal conviction, if applicable, and the date of the most recent dataset containing criminal convictions against which you compared voter lists, including communications with other agencies regardin criminal convictions; Page 3 the total number of voters registered in your county as of the date of your response; any records indicating the use of citizenship or immigration status for list maintenance activities, including but not limited to the Systematic Alien Veri?cation for Entitlements (SAVE) Program database. Any other records produced in reliance on other sources of citizenship veri?cation data; all list maintenance records including federal voter registration forms containing citizenship eligibility questionnaires for the last 22 months; Section 8 also requires your county of?ce to make available for public inspection ?all records concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of of?cial lists of eligible voters.? 52 U.S.C. 20507(i); See also, Project Vote 12. Long, Slip Op. 11?1809, (4th Cir. June 12, 2012) (The NVRA requires local election of?cials to provide voter registration data to the public). We would like to discuss with your of?ce how to implement a remedial plan which could cure what appears to be a violation of Section 8 of the NVRA. We also request the opportunity to inspect the list maintenance documents outlined above. Since steps necessary to ensure that only eligible voters are on the rolls will not involve signi?cant effort or cost, we believe it is reasonable to expect your county?s voter roll violations to be resolved before voting begins in the November 2016 elections. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. Please feel free to call to arrange a convenient time to discuss and arrange an inspection by contacting me at the below address or email.

Regarding your assertion that Clay County, Florida and specifically the Clay County Supervisor of Elections Office is in violation of Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act is completely unfounded. 98.065 FS outlines list maintenance activities, as well as, details the various procedures or paths that Supervisors of Elections can take in the performance of list maintenance. While supervisors must conduct at a minimum, in each odd-numbered year and must be completed not later than 90 days prior to the date of any federal election, Clay County chooses to conduct its list maintenance program every 90 days. Clay County utilizes change-of-address information supplied by the United States Postal Service through its licensees which is used to identify registered voters whose addresses might have changed. In addition to our list maintenance activities, Clay County aggressively pursues information it receives through the Florida Voter Registration Statewide Database (FVRS) or other reporting agencies that provide details in questioning a voter's eligibility due to American citizenship, death, or confirmed felony convictions. In my cursory review of your claim that "Your county has an implausible number of registered voters compared to the number of eligible living citizens." I reviewed the American FactFinder website provided by the United States Census Bureau and compared the ACS DEMOGRAPHIC AND HOUSING ESTIMATES for 2014 which reports an estimate of 153,872 for total population 18 and over. I then compare that number to our monthly voter registration numbers of each month of 2014 and I found the total number of registered voters in Clay County never exceeds 136,863 which is far below the ACS estimate. This fact alone directly discredits your claim and causes me to question the accuracy of your own sources. Therefore, I request the names of all individuals and documentation that supports your claim so that we may properly investigate this matter rather than relying on generalities and estimates. P.O. Box 337 • • Green Cove Springs, FL 32043 500 N. Orange Ave. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001024 (904) 269-6350 • Fax (904) 284-0935 While we are discussing accuracy in sources, I would like to point out two concerns I have with using the census as the basis for population. First, the US Census is nothing more than an estimate of population within a jurisdiction. Second, Clay County hosts a military community with its members often deployed but permitted to remain registered in their home county, as well as, a large transient population of travelers who reside in RVs and boats elsewhere. In my opinion, both of the points provided would distort the basis for population compansons. In conclusion, to satisfy the FOIA portion of your letter, I provide the following; 1.

The Petitioner submits to the court that the case number #17-6620 is under its original jurisdiction as mentioned in the US. Const. art. 111, Sec. 2, 28 U.S.C. ?1251 and 28 U.S.C. ?1254. JURISDICTION The judgment of i the court of appeals was entered on June 7, 2017 af?rming the lower court decision without bene?ts of trial or written opinions found in APPENDIX F. The 3rd District Court of Appeal denied Appellant?s timely requests for Rehearing Enbanc on July 20, 2017 without written opinion found in APPENDIX E. On August 2, 2017, the Supreme Court of Florida also denied without hearing or written opinion the petition as found in APPENDIX A. Therefore, this court has original jurisdiction over case pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1251 and 1254. ARGUMENT The plurality?s decision in this case on January 5, 2018 during the court?s scheduled conference was based on a mistake in denying the petition for writ of certiorari without reasons since case falls under the court?s original jurisdiction. In the 1794 decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, the Supreme Court sparked controversy when it ruled that Article permitted an original suit in the Supreme Court against a state by a citizen of another state. Congress and the states reacted quickly to what many saw as a threat to the sovereignty of the states and adopted HI Article section 2, of the Constitution distributes the federal judicial power between the Supreme Court's appellate and original jurisdiction, providing that the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction in "all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls,? and in cases to which a state is a party. In the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress made the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction exclusive in suits between two or more states, between a state and a foreign government, and in suits against ambassadors and other public ministers. The Supreme Court's jurisdiction over the remainder of suits to which a state was a party was to be concurrent, presumably with state courts since the statute did not expressly confer these cases upon the inferior federal courts. The Petitioner believes that if the court forgoes having original jurisdiction regarding case number #17?6620, whereas this may be an impeachable offense because the court?s actions may be in violation of the US. Const. art. HI, Sec. 2, cl-l; which the law clearly states that the judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their of?ces during good behavior, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office. According to Supreme Court Justice John Roberts, he stated that the courts could only decide ?cases? and ?controversies?. Justice John Roberts also stated in his opinion believed there should be no misunderstanding as to the functions of the United States Supreme Court. It is sometimes said that the Court assumes meaning ?takes on? without being given the constitutional authority ?a power to overrule or control the action of the people?s representative.? ?This is a misconception.? The Petitioner respectfully submits to the Court that the Constitution is the supreme law of the land ordained and established by the people. All legislation must conform to the principles it lays down. Whenever an act of Congress is appropriately challenged in the courts as not conforming with any statute and/or to the constitutional mandates the judicial branch of government has only one duty and it is to lay the article of the Constitution which is invoked beside the statute which is challenged and to decide whether the latter squares with the former. All the court does or can do is announce it?s considered judgment upon the question or questions being raised. The only power it has says Justice Roberts, if such it may be called is the power of judgment. The Petitioner believes there may have been some alleged attempts to interfere with a case being presented before the United States Supreme Court. An employee may allegedly be involved with circumventing the process by permitting pleading to be filed by attorneys who are not members of the Supreme Court Bar. See Rule 5 and Rule 9. At least two of the attorneys on the docket were permitted to ?le documents in court after they admitted they were not Supreme Court Bar members, which is a violation of Rule 5 and 9. The Petitioner believes this is an intervening circumstance where the court must consider also that the Petitioner never received a ?nal order from the court denying the petition on January 5, 2018. See Rule 44.1, 44.2, and Appendix J. A court order is the only of?cial communications that a party will receive from a decision and the clerk is responsible for providing a copy of the court order to all of the parties. The Petitioner never received a court order from the Clerk ?only? a letter that had a rubber stamped signature bearing the name Scott Harris and no other original signature. The Petitioner submits that this letter may be improper because it removes vicarious liability from the clerk?s official duties. See Rule 15.5, 44.1, 44.2 and Appendix J. It appears that these outside in?uences may be attempting to prevent the court from reviewing a case of great importance and assist with the case being removed from the court?s docket, without benefits of oral argument. The Supreme Court neither approves, condemns and/or stay away from cases that involves controversies and/or con?icts that either concern a legislative policy, a federal law, a constitutional questionand/or a personal reason for attemptingto control the outcomes pertaining constitutional question and/or a personal reason for attempting to control the outcomes pertaining to a matter of great public importance; by which this case falls under the original jurisdiction of the United States Supreme Court. See US. Const. art 111, Sec. 2, 01-1, and 28 U.S.C. 1251. The Clerk will not file a petition without a certi?cate. The petition is not subject to oral argument.? FACTUAL PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND On August 2, 2017 issued notice, that the Florida Supreme Court under case number SC17-1417 was not going to entertain any hearing ?om the 3rd District Court of Appeal on appeal from case number 3D17-0107, because the court lacked jurisdiction and there was no written opinion provided in the matter. PROCEEDING BELOW This court knows that a court order is an of?cial proclamation by a judge (or panel of judges) that de?nes the legal relationships between the parties to a hearing, a trial, an appeal or other court proceedings. Such ruling requires or authorizes the carrying out of certain steps by one or more parties to a case. A ?nal order is one that terminates the action itself or ?nally decides some matter litigated by the parties. The Petitioner believes allegedly that an employee is making it more dif?cult for the Petitioner to demand justice, due process and/or his rights under equal protection. See 18 U.S.C. 1509, Id. 18 U.S.C. 1509, says whoever, by threats or force, willfully prevents, obstructs, impedes, or interferes with, or willfully attempts to prevent, obstruct, impede, or interfere with, the due exercise of rights or the performance of duties under any order, judgment, or decree of a court of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. No injunctive or other civil relief against the conduct made criminal by this section shall be denied on the ground that such conduct is a crime A. the US. Sup. Ct. should refer this case to the Department of Justice for further investigation into any actions or lack thereof delaying justice. PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE COURT In a civil lawsuit, the plaintiff may make many allegations and legal claims, some of which the court may dispose of during the litigation by the issuance of an order. When the court is ready to completely dispose of the case, it enters a ?nal order. As part of the ?nal order, the court directs that judgment be entered, which authorizes the court administrator to close the case thus this requirement appears to have been violated and there should be sanctions and/or investigation by the appropriate authorities. HISTORY OF ELECTION FRAUD WITHIN MIAMI DADE COUNTY The Petitioner submits to this courts that election fraud goes as far back in Miami Dade County, since 1840 and now those involve with stealing the vote, espionage, treason or attempting to overthrow governments are most successful in making election fraud seem more acceptable because campaigns can raise funds beyond spending limits and corrupt the political process. The Petitioner has included a number of news articles and actual cases below for the courts review and reconsideration. News Articles 1. ?Miami Of?cial Is Arrested In Election Fraud Inquiry - The New York Times 998/0 . ./miami-o . . May 29, 1998 The Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Miami-Dade County state attorney's of?ce have accused Mr. Hernandez of helping Evelyn and Rudy Herbello to obtain rent receipts and other false documents in an effort to persuade state investigators that they could vote by absentee ballot in his district. 2. Fraud Ruling Invalidates Miami Mayoral Election - The New York Times Mar 5, 1998 - Judge Wilson?s ruling was a sweeping indictment of the absentee ballot system, which last month was the subject of a state grand jury report that found it riddled with ?aws.

The Miami?Dade voter-fraud case that went nowhere Naked Politics corn]. .. May 4, 2016 - @PatriciaMazzei._ It seemed like the rare, slam-dunk case of voter fraud. Two men stood accused of unlawfully handling four other people's mail-in ballots in the 2013 Homestead mayoral election, ?lling at least one of them for precisely the candidates the voter did not want to vote for. Miami-Dade County.? On September 13, 2016, Former Miami Dade County District 2, School Board Candidate Dr. James Bush 111 in case no: 16-23314 CA20 ?led a statutory election contest in the 11th Judicial Circuit Courts alleging election fraud, misconduct, ineligibility and corrupt election practices in the 2016 primary elections. Circuit Court Judge Thomas Rebull dismissed the election contest without investigation and/or without ordering the 2016 primary ballots to his chambers. The decision violated Dr. James Bush Ill rights to due process, equal protection and free Speech. On December 17, 2017, the Petitioner wrote the Department of Justice Special Counsel Robert Mueller requesting that DOJ launch an investigation into the alleged election fraud, absentee balloting fraud and/or election thievery within Miami Dade County. The Petitioner believed that election fraud was a form of treason, eSpionage and/or acts of overthrowing the governments by enemies of the United States, which election fraud has become a common practice within Miami Dade County; for the purposes of controlling a greater number 0 5 of elected seats and maintaining control by foreign born citizens over county?s governments and business operations within Miami-Dade County under federal immigration law. The Petitioner submits to the courts that there is no mentioning in the United States Constitution granting foreign born citizens, former illegal immigrant or legal immigrant the authorizing authority to control American governments to the extreme that put natural born Americans citizens? under involuntary servitude or forced slavery conditions. The Petitioner submits to the courts that case number #17?6620 will help the courts understand the impacts of election fraud happening within the original jurisdiction of the United States Supreme Court. The Petitioner believes that local election officers are helping to promote a very dangerous dictatorship because it will eventually present the opportunity for the unlawful seizing of America, which a number of Respondents supports this lack of fair standards across the board. See Appendix I. The Petitioner?s letter to Robert Mueller predicted America?s future allegedly by foreign-born citizens taking over the country within walls of a modern United States. The Petitioner believes that the United States Supreme Court must address the issues of election fraud in America because there are a number of bad people seeking to overthrow the government. The petition for rehearing will help present evidence and expose the fraud that is gamishing black citizen?s properties without their consent and to their detriments because foreign-born citizens control all of the resources and the billions in taxpayer?s dollars these foreign-born citizens are using allegedly to tax black citizens outof their homes once they retire on fixed incomes. The courts must be compelled to address this intervening issue and the courts should follow-up asking questions as to fairness and rule on the condemnation of election fraud seen as unconstitutional and un?American within Miami Dade County. A county who seeks to be protect its system of alleged election fraud for the last 40 years or more. The Petitioner restates to the courts that there is no mentioning of this kind of \19 election controls in either Florida Constitution and/or within the United States Constitution. The Petitioner identify for the courts the document that granted Miami Dade County unlimited power known as a home rule charter established in 1957 for it to rule without objections or public opinion. The Petitioner submits to the courts that in the early beginnings, the home rule charter had good intentions and now the county charter seeks to protect allegedly election fraud to the detriment of black voters, which places them in conditions of involuntary servitude. The Petitioner believes that the county charter is a part of Jim Crow laws that were abolished by this court in 1954 in the case of Brown v. Board of Education. The Petitioner believes that Miami Dade County Home Rule Charter must be abolished in order to help end racial segregation and/or alleged acts of election fraud. The Petitioner submits to the courts that many black citizens would rather live under the State of Florida Constitution in order to escape the abuse, mistreatment and discrimination of the Miami Dade County Home Rule by foreign-born citizens and/or local county governments. The petition for rehearing will give the Petitioner the opportunity to provide the courts with evidence that will demonstrate how the Miami Dade County Home Rule Charter is taking away the rights of natural born black Americans as well as their rights to free speech, due process and equal proteCtion. The Petitioner knows that since 1865 during President Abraham Lincoln appointment of William H. Gleason as Director of the Freedmen Bureau who later became one of Dade County Clerk of the Circuit Courts presumably by election fraud that existed back in his day. It was, Mr. Gleason that President Abraham Lincoln put in charge of giving newly freed slaves their 40 acres and a mule and/or Mr. Gleason was put in charge to purchase land in Florida for former slaves, because the Emancipation Proclamation was the supreme law of the land. The ideas of colonization did not appeal to Mr. Gleason. For the court?s information, Mr. William H. Gleason Director of the Department of 000 Freeman Bureau had recommended against the Negro colony in Florida and he garnered enough local political support against them in future years to come. When President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, Mr. Gleason later took the $4000.00 dollars and bought land for himself. The Petitioner submits that Mr. William H. Gleason was the person responsible for denying former slaves 40 acres and a mule and it was not President Abraham Lincoln In addition, in the early 1980?s election fraud allowed foreign born citizens to gain controls over the election process in Miami Dade County, which afforded them the opportunity to seize controls over the billions in anti?poverty funds earmarked for natural born black Americans by the Economic Opportunity Act 1964, 1972, 1978, and the Community Service Act of 1974; these acts were Public Law 88- 452, 92-424, 93-644, and 95-568. See Appendix B, C, D, G. The Petitioner believes that this in an intervening circumstance concerning election fraud that may have altered our republic in order to prevent black Americans from getting the billions in monetary relief in efforts to do away with poverty throughout the United States of America. The illegal actions of election fraud allegedly violated black voter?s rights, which over the years have denied natural born black Americans freedom of choice and/or the opportunities to elect persons they wanted for public office showing a genuine love interest for the community throughout Miami Dade County. The Petitioner believes election fraud is the cornerstone of his case because it harms the nation when election fraud bene?ts those persons who values are opposite to the United States and/or whose values hinders America from moving collectively into the 23?d century. Nonetheless, in the 1980?s election, fraud in Miami Dade County was allegedly responsible for blocking a Mrs. Mary L. Hill, founder of New Daycare Human Services Program, E.O.P.I. and chief architect of the very first anti-poverty program in America known as the Economic Opportunity Acts and amendments. These were acts created to alleviate poverty and it was election fraud that played a sea role in preventing her from setting up of the National Regional Community Service Administration as authorized by Public Law 93-644 and 95-568. The Petitioner submits to the courts that the Economic Opportunity Acts of 1964, 1972, 1978 and the Community Service Act of 1974 were due from programs created by Mrs. Mary Hill in her home during the 19503. The court must also know that she worked with HEW Chairman Congressman Adam Clayton to pass the first of its kind anti?poverty legislation that became the supreme law of the land. The Petitioner submits to the courts that President Lyndon B. Johnson took her concept and launched the ON POVERTY signing Public Law 88?452 into law. In 1974, President Richard M. Nixon handed the anti?poverty program back to Mrs. Mary L. Hill with the signing of Public Law 93-644 and Reagan signing PL. 95-568 in order for her to implement and enforce the federal laws. Mr. Nixon placed the program for her into an independent corporation, so there will no longer be any governmental interference a move in part that cost him his Presidency. It has been nearly 40 years since election fraud blocked Mrs. Mary Hill from of?cial duties as authorized by law and a great number of elected officials in Miami Dade County have kept quiet about the $8,000,000.00 dollars that Miami Dade County hijacked from poor people, the US. Treasury Department and from the case analyst named Ms. Iming Clark who admitted in 1993 by phone that the US. Treasury Department sent the funds to Mrs. Hill, so she can set up the National Regional Community Service Administration. See Appendix G. However, Miami Dade County, Florida allegedly stole the anti-poverty ?nds and used them in the centralization of Dade County government as well as in other projects during the 19803. The Petitioner submits to the courts as a natural born black citizen living in Miami Dade County expressing a belief of great public importance that Miami Dade County have become a prisoner?s camp and each day citizens rights under the United States Constitution are taken as a result of alleged election fraud. For the last 40 years? natural born black citizens have received no justice from the courts and there may be reason to believe there is no justice in the Supreme Court. The Petitioner submits to the courts that election fraud was responsible for stopping black voters and candidates from winning important elected positions because the people getting elected by fraud pledged allegedly to block anyone with a desire to help Mrs. Mary L. Hill?s earmarked anti? poverty program get back on track by any means necessary keeping black citizens forever in a state of involuntary servitude. The Petitioner submits to this court if this court does not grant a new hearing the future of America will be uncertain and this will give those individuals engaging in election fraud, espionage and/or treason permission to take possession of America and? overthrow the government. The Petitioner submits to the courts that there needs to be a federal investigation within Miami Dade County dating back 30 to 60 years regarding all elections in order to collect evidence that will change this national election process forever. The Petitioner submits to the courts the goals of this country is to keep Americans safe and to discourage those living in America from acts of terrorism because their values do not mirror our democratic principles and beliefs. REASONS FOR GRANTING PETITION The Petitioner submits to the courts of an intervening circumstance that occurred on November 8, 2016 during the 2016 general elections records show that the Chairperson of the Canvassing Board County Court Judge Shelley Kravitz within Miami Dade County never certi?ed the 2016 general elections and that should warrants a reconsideration. See Fla. Stat. 102.141. Pursuant to Fla. Statute 102.141 County canvassing board; duties, it says The Petitioner submits to the Supreme Court Justices that County Court Judge Shelley Kravitz was appointed chairperson of the canvassing board for 2016 general elections by BERTILA SOTO, general election results after being noti?ed of misconduct, con?icts, corrupt practices and ineligibility which also made the State of Florida Election Canvassing Commission the last board to certify the election. See Fla. Stat. 102.168. Thereby placed the case under the original jurisdiction of United States Supreme Court. See 28 U.S.C. ?1251. The Petitioner submits to the courts that Miami Dade County allegedly violated Fla. Stat. 102.141 thru as well as the canvassing board?s composition requirements which if true, the courts must be compelled to overturning the election and declaring Rubin Young, Miami Dade County Clerk of the Circuit and County Court because he received a number of legal votes casted in the election. See- - Appendix H. The Petitioner submits to the courts that ?ling fees are enormous in Miami Dade County and this scheme places hardships on poor black candidates seeking aright to participate in a political process, thus in violation of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments of the US. Constitution. . In short, there is no reason not to reinstate this case and every reason to do so. The Petitioner seeks to convince this court that there is no means of defeat for this petitioner, let alone for a petitioner proceeding pro se. The Petitioner admits it would be unfortunate for this court to miss the opportunity in deciding another case of historical importance similar to Plessy v. Ferguson and/or Brown v. Board of Education. However, this case will allow this court to join President Abraham Lincoln in saving the nation for all humankind. The Petitioner submits to the courts the possibility of saving America from the very destructive evils of election fraud, which will ends the inequitable treatment of natural born black Americans and rid the nation of another form of poll taxing. The Petitioner admits learning over the year how dif?cult it was maneuvering through a tough process; yet, he seeks the rare opportunity and hOpe to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court for the bene?ts of all Americans and on behalf of the entire United States of America. CONCLUSION For the foregoing reasons, this Court should grant the petition for rehearing, vacate the January 5, 2018 letter received from Supreme Court Clerk Scott S. Harris clerk?s of?ce allegedly without proof of court order dismissing the Petitioner?s writ of certiorari thereby restoring this case back to its merits docket under original jurisdiction as mentioned in United States Constitution. Art. Sec. 2, CH and 28 U.S.C. ?1251 and ?1254.

NOTICE TO AGENTS IS NOTICE TO PRINCIPALS. NOTICE TO PRINCIPALS IS NOTICE TO AGENTS December 17, 2017 Dear Mr Robert Mueller, Special Prosecutor and Assistant United States Attorney General Rod I Rosenstein: l?vi name is Rubin Young a former candidate and ?rst African American who sought to become Miami Dade County Clerk of the Circuit and County Cou1ts I am asking that you please read the following email. I am writing you requesting that the United States federal government launch a federal investigation within MiamiDade County Florida, that will lead to ending election fraud, absentee ballot fraud and election thievery This is now a common practice in Miami Dade County promoted now by naturalized citizens who runs and controls every county and city government and/or every major corporation in this county The United States Constitution doesn't give naturalized or former illegal or legal immigrants the authorizing authority to seize or control governments to this magnitude and/or put natural born citizens in what is called debtor prisons or forced slavery conditions These forces care nothing about our laws and they promote a dangerous dictatorship that only focus on the survival of their people or citizens. It is my prediction that 1n the future this problem if not dealt with immediately will lead to a takeover of all America and/Or will lead to another civil war within the walls of the modern United States Naturalized citizen owns all the property in Miami Dade County and they use the local property appraisal office to raise property taxes on black communities designed to tax them out of their homes, particular once they acquired ?xed 1ncomes- from retirement. Why these forces have taken - Rovemum': Ll? over the majority of all elected positions under a home rule charter that must be abolished because it gives these forces the unfair advantage or authority to decide who gets what moneys coming into Miami Dade County because they can controls the vote or the lack thereof. As a natural born American citizen I feel like I?m in a foreign prison because my rights under the United States Constitution has been taken from me and if I speak out against this ongoing mistreatment of natural born black citizens who parents built America without these these naturalized citizens coming to America in 161.9; I can be confronted by threats or death why because that's how it works in these naturalized citizens country whereas they brought that belief to the United States or to Miami Dade County. So, I now believe that the future of America is hanging in the balance and we now need an investigation in Miami Dade County dating back over the last 30 or 60 years of all past local, state and national elections in order to prove election fraud, espionage and/or treason. Particularly since immigrants were allowed to this country because they claimed abuse in their Country and now they are the abusers in our country or in a great number of cities where they have taken over a lot of these city and county governments with alleged illegal voting. They have showed their hands to us and these forces have the majority voting to determine who wins in all local, state and national elections, except the law prohibits foreign citizens from voting in national election but theylare permitted to vote in national elections in Miami Dade County because they control the election department. We need an investigation of local elections that will stop these entities from overthrowing our governments and/or from stealing America from future Americans because their pledging Allegiance is to the country that they came from sir. The goals of the United States Constitution or that of the Federal government is to keep Americans safe. Where is"'the safety for Americans who are exposed every day to all kinds of terrorist acts by foreigners or extremist here because these forces were given permission to invade American soil for good reasons and now their alleged purposes is overthrowing our governments through their participation in all elections with an agenda that doesn?t promote our country's democratic beliefs, or We need legislation that give natural born citizens such as Mary L. Hill's programs that gives us the money to change our lives forever. Sir, please help us in Miami Dade County our black citizens and communities are being overtaken by these naturalized citizens who controls all walks of life here in Miami. These forces control all our police departments that allegedly kill or murder natural born black citizens without any hesitation. These forces control our legal communities, businesses, courts, governments and judges who are unlawfully sentencing, wrongfully convicting and/or taking away our citizens properties without any legal justi?cation or established law giving them permission to push them out of their neighborhoods to take the land. You can?t even appeal a final order-to the 3rd District Court of Appeals or Florida Supreme Court with a written opinion because their voting strength and positioning is too far reaching. LN The reason this is happening because the right to Vote lead by our great leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. has been taken away from us by the use of election fraud and thievery; where these elements are the results to the great dominance and unlawful controls of black communities. I am afraid if you don?t launch an investigation in the stealing of the vote in Miami Dade County within 100 years and entire race of natural born black citizens and others will be erased from this earth and there will no longer be any other mentioning of our participation in the building of The right to vote in a participatory democracy should be protected and these acts of treason or espionage must not go ignored, because this is a veryserious problem that can spill over into other American cities if not stop or contained within Miami Dade County. - I pray that my God allow you to protect me from these forces threats of death for reaching out to . a special prosecutor who has the ears of our federal government. In the words of the Arnistad slaves GIVE US FREE, GIVE US FREE, GIVE US FREE and Dr. King once said ?freedom is never given to any man without strong resistance because the oppressor have you in domination and plan on keeping you there and he?s never Voluntarily going to give it up".

Snipes November 20, 2018 Dear Mr. President, It is our beliefs that a Federal court judge whose appointed by a President and/or inferior court judges should not be telling a President of these United States what he cannot do. The president and Congress have some control of the judiciary with their power to appoint and confirm appointments of judges and justices. Congress also may impeach judges (only seven have actually been removed from office), alter the organization of the federal court system, and amend the Constitution. Congress can also get around a court ruling by passing a slightly different law than one previously declared unconstitutional. Courts also have limited power to implement the decisions that they make. For example, if the president or another member of the executive branch chooses to ignore a ruling, there is very little that the federal courts can do about it. For example, the Supreme Court ruled against the removal of the Cherokee from their native lands in 1831. President Andrew Jackson disagreed with a ruling. He proceeded with the removal of the Cherokee, and the Supreme Court was powerless to enforce its decision. The Power of the Courts The 1954 Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka regarding integration of schools was not enforced until three years later, when Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, was integrated. Elizabeth Eckford, one of the first African American students to attend Central, was heckled on her way to school each morning. The federal courts' most important power is that of judicial review, the authority to interpret the Constitution. When federal judges rule that laws or government actions not constitutional executive actions of a duly elected President violate the spirit of the Constitution, they profoundly shape public policy. For example, federal judges have declared over 100 federal laws unconstitutional. Mr. President federal judges can only reverse decisions of federal agency actions and they should not be overturning executive branch actions due to separations of power. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001090 A government agency is established by either a national government or a state government within a federal system. The term is not normally used for an organization created by the powers of a local government body. Agencies can be established by legislation or by executive powers. Our federal government has three parts. They are the Executive, (President and about 5,000,000 workers) Legislative (Senate and House of Representatives) and Judicial (Supreme Court and lower Courts). The President of the United States administers the Executive Branch of our government. The branch of federal and state government that is broadly responsible for implementing, supporting, and enforcing the laws made by the legislative branch and interpreted by the judicial branch. Supporters of judicial restraint point out that appointed judges are immune to public opinion, and if they abandon their role as careful and cautious interpreters of the Constitution, they become unelected legislators. According to Justice Antonin Scalia, "The Constitution is not an empty bottle....It is like a statute, and the meaning doesn't change." Despite the debate over what constitutes the appropriate amount of judicial power, the United States federal courts remain the most powerful judicial system in world history. Their power is enhanced by life terms for judges and justices, and they play a major role in promoting the core American values of freedom, equality, and justice. Exploring Constitutional Conflicts: Right to an Abortion? Could Roe v. Wade (1973), one of the most controversial decisions in judicial history, be overturned — or is it protected by stare decisis? Planned Parenthood v. Casey (1992) could have been the case that took away a woman's right to choose. The constitutional basis for both decisions is discussed here at the University of Missouri at Kansas City law site. What Exactly Is Judicial Activism? This scathing criticism of judicial activism doesn't pull any punches. The conservative article concentrates on the decisions of the Florida Supreme Court after the 2000 presidential election, then moves on to subjects such as Roe v. Wade and a recent Supreme Court decision regarding the Americans with Disabilities Act. Judicial review is a process under which executive or legislative actions are subject to review by the judiciary. A court with authority for judicial review may invalidate laws and governmental actions that are incompatible with a higher authority: an executive decision may be invalidated for being unlawful or a statute may be invalidated for violating the terms of a constitution. Judicial review is one of the checks and balances in the separation of powers: the power of the judiciary to supervise the legislative and executive branches when the latter exceed their authority. The doctrine varies between jurisdictions, so the procedure and scope of judicial review may differ between and within countries. The Constitution established the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction to provide a tribunal of the highest stature for disputes to which a state was a party and for cases involving the representatives of foreign nations. "The best-known power of the Supreme Court is judicial review, or the ability of the Court to declare a Legislative or Executive act in violation of the Constitution, is not found within the text of the Constitution itself. The Court established this doctrine in the case of Marbury v. Madison (1803)." In practice, the Supreme Court has only rarely exercised its jurisdiction over foreign officials. Instead, the Supreme Court's original docket has been dedicated largely to resolving disputes between state governments. Article III, section 2, of the Constitution distributes the federal judicial power between the Supreme Court's appellate and FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001091 original jurisdiction, providing that the Supreme Court shall have original jurisdiction in "all cases affecting ambassadors, other public ministers and consuls," and in cases to which a state is a party. In the Judiciary Act of 1789, Congress made the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction exclusive in suits between two or more states, between a state and a foreign government, and in suits against ambassadors and other public ministers. The Supreme Court's jurisdiction over the remainder of suits to which a state was a party was to be concurrent, presumably with state courts since the statute did not expressly confer these cases upon the inferior federal courts. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, federal justices and judges differed on the question of whether state and inferior federal courts could constitutionally exercise jurisdiction in cases that fell within the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction under Article III. In the case of Farquhar v. Georgia in 1793, the U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Georgia ruled that an individual could not sue a state in a federal circuit court because the Constitution's grant of original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court was exclusive. The U.S. Circuit Court for the District of Pennsylvania ruled that same year, however, in the case of United States v. Ravara, that the circuit courts could exercise criminal jurisdiction over a foreign consul, despite Article III's provision that the Supreme Court exercised original jurisdiction over "all cases affecting" consuls. In his 1803 opinion in Marbury v. Madison , Chief Justice John Marshall stated that Congress could not confer the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction on any other court. The Supreme Court did not settle the question until the 1888 decision in Ames v. Kansas , in which the Court ruled that parties embraced by the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction could bring suit in any court with jurisdiction over the parties or subject matter. In the 1794 decision in Chisholm v. Georgia, the Supreme Court sparked controversy when it ruled that Article III permitted an original suit in the Supreme Court against a state by a citizen of another state. Congress and the states reacted quickly to what many saw as a threat to the sovereignty of the states and adopted the Eleventh Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibited such suits in the federal courts. The most frequent exercise of the Supreme Court's original jurisdiction has been in suits between two or more states. In the 1838 case of Rhode Island v. Massachusetts, the Supreme Court upheld this jurisdiction in response to a claim of sovereign immunity. The Court ruled that the states had surrendered a portion of their sovereignty under the Constitution and in ratifying it subjected themselves to the federal judicial power in disputes that would otherwise have been settled through diplomacy or force by truly independent states. Prior to the Civil War, the Court heard only a handful of suits between two or more states, and all involved boundary disputes. In the twentieth century, states have also resorted to the Supreme Court to adjudicate disputes over water rights, especially arising out of competing claims of western states to interstate water sources. Suits between states have also dealt with disputes over contracts, the impact of state economic regulations, and environmental pollution. The Supreme Court has narrowly interpreted its constitutional grant of original jurisdiction. In Marbury v. Madison , the Supreme Court ruled that Congress could not expand the Court's original jurisdiction beyond that granted in the Constitution. Beginning with Cohens v. Virginiain 1821, the Court held that its original jurisdiction was defined entirely by the nature of the parties to a suit, not the subject matter. The Court declined to hear in the first instance cases under the Constitution, laws, and treaties of the United States unless they strictly conformed to one of the state party suits specified in the Constitution: a suit between two or more states, between a state as plaintiff and citizens of another state, and between a state as plaintiff and foreign citizens or governments. The Supreme Court established an important exception to this rule when it held that the Court would hear original suits brought by the United States against a state. In the 1892 case ofUnited States v. Texas, Justice John Marshall Harlan ruled that since the federal judicial power extended to "cases in which the United States was a party," and the Court was granted jurisdiction over cases to which a state was a party, the Court would take jurisdiction in a United States suit against a state. Such suits by the United States increased after the 1890s and usually involved disputes with states over land, though in the FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001092 late twentieth century they also included a few suits to enforce provisions of the Federal Voting Rights Act. In the late twentieth century, the Supreme Court further limited its original docket by declaring that it would exercise discretion over whether to hear cases even if they were legitimately within the Court's jurisdiction. In a series of cases in 1971, including Ohio v. Wyandotte Chemicals Corp., the Court declined to hear environmental pollution claims brought by states against corporations that dealt with complex and technical factual questions. The justices ruled that the states had other available forums to bring their claims and that the cases were not "appropriate" for the Court in light of its primary function as the nation's highest appellate tribunal. The Court resolved to examine the "seriousness and dignity" of claims so as to preserve its resources for consideration of appeals involving federal questions. The Supreme Court soon expanded its appropriateness doctrine to decline to hear some cases between two states, even where the Court's jurisdiction was exclusive. The Supreme Court's original docket has always been a minute portion of its overall caseload. Between 1789 and 1959, the Court issued written opinions in only 123 original cases. Since 1960, the Court has received fewer than 140 motions for leave to file original cases, nearly half of which were denied a hearing. The majority of cases filed have been in disputes between two or more states. The Court has generally accepted state party cases dealing with boundary and water disputes, but it has been much less likely to field original cases dealing with contract disputes and other subjects not deemed sufficiently substantial for the Court's resources. Mr. President, judicial activism must end in the 21st century and beyond. Americans believes that federal judges are over stepping their authority and they are promoting misinformation to illegal immigrants who believes unelected inferior court federal judges are more powerful than an United States President. In our opinion if federal court judges rulings attempts to overthrow a President executive branch authorities expressed outside the participation of judicial review those ruling should be ignored by your Administration. Please don't let an inferior court judge make rulings that interferes with separation of powers and be in direct conflict of your authorities delegated by the United States Constitution.

Snipes November 24, 2018 Dear Mr. President, BOLD is now of the opinion that this country's sovereignty has been turned over to so-called white skinned central Americans and/or over to all other white skinned Europeans sir. This is very dangerous a analysis because we believe that these forces in the future eventually will join together for the purposes of replacing so-called white skinned United States Americans. Therefore, putting the future of American born children at risk of a possible takeover or overthrowing of the country when they are of age to run the federal government in 2059 thru 2099. It is BOLD opinion this happened because US Leaders in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s placed a devaluation of American citizenship, so they could go into these foreign countries and rape them of important resources. They renamed earmarked anti-poverty funds that can only be approved by Mrs. Mary L. Hill founder of EOPI and National Regional Community Service Director to humanitarian aide, Community Development Block Grant funds, Social Service Block Grants, Welfare, Affordable Housing Funds, Community Redevelopment Funds in the 1990s under the Clinton administration. Now sir, you are having a difficult time closing this Pandora box because Illegal voting and election stealing by foreigners have replaced the children of former slaves legal standing to American lands in jeopardy because election fraud and the stealing of America from Americans is now a way of life because noncitizens or green card holders are prohibited by federal INS law to serves in restrictive elected offices throughout Congress and beyond where they are changing US laws to fit their own future agendas and purposes which is why foreign influences control all political parties now. In addition they run any and all Economic Opportunity Act earmarked funding programs under Public Laws 88452, 92-424, 93-644 and 95-568 in Miami and beyond that were passed by Congress in 1960s to help poor black and white natural born Americans out of poverty which these anti-poverty programs were hijacked by foreign born citizens in the 1980s under the Carter Administration. These earmarked anti-poverty funds are now unlawfully being used aiding illegal immigrants and non-citizens that helps improve their lives and not black Americans under the right legally established setup. A number of black Americans are disappointed with America because from their shared sacrifices and loyalty in helping to fight in US wars, the country would rather free non-citizens from their inhumane conditions before letting natural born black citizens used these earmarked anti-poverty FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001094 funds created in part for them receiving their full-fledged citizenship as mentioned in the 14th Amendment. Mr. President children of former slaves whose families been here since 1619. We were given full American citizenship with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the passing of 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1868. Sir, no other group of people coming into this country have remained more loyal than natural born black Americans. We cared for white America's lands, protect their families, nursed their babies and gave our life's protecting and defending the United States Constitution, yet we are hated by every elected member serving in the Congress who would rather see illegals and foreign born citizens out of their poverty and not natural born black Americans. Our black children are being displaced and separated from their families every day because foreign born judges, prosecutors, police officials and defense attorneys use allegedly fake and fraudulent evidence to convict and incarcerate black men i.e. Drewery Geter in order to put them in prisons and use a judicial scheme that takes away their civil rights, human rights and voting rights done intentionally to destroy and separate black children; which also destroys black women and/or wives who later becomes prey and/or victims of these foreign born influences or non-citizens. Foreign influences that ultimately impregnate these black poor women leaving behind illegitimate families that will eventually wipe out or replace the legitimacy of both black and white races. We need your help Mr. President to save the natural born black citizens race in America from such a threat of destroying and erasing our families black history long after we are gone from this place. That's why Miami Dade County and it's home rule charter must be demolished to strike that last blow to Jim Crowism and expose Miami Dade County and the City of Miami ad being a sanctuary city or county since so many foreign born citizens or non-citizens serves in elected offices without being citizens of the United States of America. See 18 USC 611. These citizens have stolen America from Americans. We need signing Service and her your help sir in restoring black citizen's pride, dignity and respect that must come with your an executive order enforcing the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, 1967, 1972, 1978 and the Community Act of 1974 once and for all returning Mrs. Mary L. Hill to her position and justly compensating her children for this alleged wrongful doing. BOLD thank you sir for your time and attention. We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New years!

Snipes Final final corrections November 11, 2018 BOLD URGENT MESSAGE TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP Dear Mr. President, We are writing requesting that you send Federal Marshalls into Broward County and seizes all general election ballots and order the immediate arrest or removal of Dr. Brenda Snipes for alleged election fraud, tampering and/or voter's influences. Mr. President as you may not be aware Dr. Snipes a long history as Broward County Supervisor of Elections of alleged election fraud, and ballot tampering. Therefore in lieu of the most recent report in her not meeting Florida Division of Elections reporting or transmitting deadlines. We believe that there may be the possibility of her and or her staff allegedly tampering with the 2018 Florida senatorial and guberatorial election because foreign influences and or non-citizens are employed to run local election offices and they care nothing allegedly about our election laws or voter's integrity. Sir, there have been numerous charges against Dr. Snipes over the years for her allegedly violating election laws, yet she remains in office because she serves those powerful democratic and foreign influences needs throughout Broward County. Sir, she should be held responsible for suppressing those voting ballots recently found in an Broward County election's office not counted or were not be counted allegedly because either she and or her staff allegedly stuffed the ballot box. There were reports of similar allegations in Broward County allegedly stuffing ballot boxes approximately in 2008, 2012 or 2014. Mr. President electing stealing is a big problem in both Dade and Broward County, since green card holders and non-citizens are allowed unlawfully not by general law or amendment to Florida Constitution to vote by Divisions of elections in Presidential, Senatorial, Gubernatorial and Congressional elections. See 18 USC 611. Mr. President we pray that she or other public groups not be allowed to affect the outcome of the 2018 elections senatorial or guberatorial election by the alleged stuffing of ballot boxes and or election thievery which our local parties have been supporting for years in the tricounties. Sir, we have no enforcement here in Miami Dade and Broward County when concerns deals with election fraud because circuit court judges are elected and these judges are at the mercy of local elections offices if election FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001100 protest are filed, which we may need to look at 6 year appointments for circuit court judges as well. I'm suppose to be the Miami Dade County first African American Clerk of the Court because the county unlawfully allowed Harvey Ruvin, Clerk of Court to put unlawfully on all ballots in 2016 his democratic party affiliations which is prohibited in non-partisan races and a violation of general law and Florida Constitution. Sir, Harvey Ruvin was allowed to get away with this because Florida general counsel office prematurely determined the matter had no legal sufficiency, we disagree. Mr. President in this time and in this hour the people of Florida need your strengths in standing with us to fight the evils of public corruption and election fraud. We believe foreign influences are seeking to takeover the US at the lowest of all levels first and Dr. Snipes and many other local election supervisors are aiding in this practice and committing treason. We need policies or election laws that require foreign born candidates to provide an authentic birth certificate or proof of American citizenship prior to seeking elected office and we must see in 2018 and beyond how many votes in this election are illegally casted by noncitizens. BOLD thank you for your time and consideration. "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH". "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH". "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH". Sincerely, Rubin Young President, Blacks Organizing Leadership Development, BOLD Cc:.

Snipes November 12, 2018 Dear President Trump, Governor Rick Scott and Ron Desantis, Re: Election Contests B.O.L.D. is writing to request that you not permit Dr. Brenda Snipes and the DEMOCRATIC party to spin the party committing election fraud and/or make it appear that Governor Scott and Mr. Desantis is denying voters the right to have illegal votes counted in the 2018 general elections. Dr. Snipes is now taking her alleged talking points from the Democratic party who acts of fraud are treasonous because foreign influences and non-citizens serving in Congress and various other elected offices throughout this country are promoting anarchy, lawlessness and the overthrowing of the US at the lowest levels of governments. See US Sup Ct Case #17-6620 and 4DCA 18-2221. Mr. President and Governor Scott it appears everytime Dr. Snipes work with her party allegedly to steal or disrupt an election she makes excuses and never take blame as the elected official in charge for management; this is why I sought her position in 2015, but withdrew to focus my attention on Clerk of the Circuit Court in Miami Dade County. Sirs both these counties are known allegedly for stealing elections and/or for committing election fraud to keep their power and/or elect persons who will not help enforcement the Economic Opportunity Acts and Amendments. See Public Laws 88-452, 92-424, 93-644 and 95-568 where they have been blocking in Miami Dade County the establishment of the National Regional Community Service Administration headed by a Mrs. Mary L. Hill founder of EOPI and National Director to authorized to approval of earmarked antipoverty funds to alleviate poverty for poor black and white Americans within these United States. Nevertheless, it is our duty to protect the integrity of all elections because "election is the process of choosing a person to fill an office. An election contest is a right of action conferred on every candidate to contest the certification of nomination or the certificate of vote as made by the appropriate officials in any election. It is a post-election contest between two competing candidates. Fraud, corruption, or irregularities in regard to the method of holding an election in a division can affect the entire vote. Thus an election contest is a special proceeding created by the legislature to provide a remedy for elections tainted by fraud, illegality, or other irregularity. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001102 Generally, there are two types of election contests: Motion seeking to oust and replace the certified winner; and Motion seeking to declare an election void altogether. The fundamental purpose of an election contest is to ascertain the true will of the electorate. Moreover, an election contest provides a simple and speedy means of contesting elections. Additionally, an election contest presupposes a full and fair litigation of election disputes in an expeditious manner. The remedy provided in an election contest is a statutory one and equity cannot be invoked to determine an election’s validity. An election can be contested only for matters that would impeach the fairness of the result. any public office can be contested on the following grounds: An election to When illegal votes have been received; When legal votes rejected at the polls, sufficient to change the result; Where any error is committed by any board of canvassers in counting the votes or declaring the result of the election. There is no provision under the common law to contest an election. The right to contest an election exists only under the constitutional and statutory provisions. An election contest is a special statutory proceeding. One who seeks the benefit of a statutory proceeding must comply with all the procedural terms of the statute. Courts cannot exceed the provisions of applicable statutes in resolving election contests. Thus the procedure proscribed by a state must be strictly followed in deciding election contests. The judicial determination of election contests requires strict adherence to the constitutional and statutory provisions in the various jurisdictions. All candidates have the right to protest the returns of an election by filing a protest with the appropriate canvassing board. In order to contest election results, the petitioner must show that the result of the election will be different in the absence of irregularities. A candidate intending to contest the election of a member of the House of Representatives must file a notice of his/her intention to contest the election with the Board of Canvassers within thirty days after the result of the election.

Snipes November 12, 2018 Dear President Trump, Governor Rick Scott and Ron Desantis, Re: Election Contests B.O.L.D. is writing to request that you not permit Dr. Brenda Snipes and the DEMOCRATIC party to spin the party committing election fraud and/or make it appear that Governor Scott and Mr. Desantis is denying voters the right to have illegal votes counted in the 2018 general elections. Dr. Snipes is now taking her alleged talking points from the Democratic party who acts of fraud are treasonous because foreign influences and non-citizens serving in Congress and various other elected offices throughout this country are promoting anarchy, lawlessness and the overthrowing of the US at the lowest levels of governments. See US Sup Ct Case #17-6620 and 4DCA 18-2221. Mr. President and Governor Scott it appears everytime Dr. Snipes work with her party allegedly to steal or disrupt an election she makes excuses and never take blame as the elected official in charge for management; this is why I sought her position in 2015, but withdrew to focus my attention on Clerk of the Circuit Court in Miami Dade County becoming first person in the State of Florida to run for 5 or 6 elected together in 2015 thru 2016. Sirs both these counties are known allegedly for stealing elections and/or for committing election fraud to keep their power and/or elect persons who will not help enforcement of the Economic Opportunity Acts and Amendments. See Public Laws 88-452, 92-424, 93-644 and 95-568 whereas they have been blocking in Miami Dade County since 1980s the establishment of the National Regional Community Service Administration headed by a Mrs. Mary L. Hill founder of EOPI and National FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001105 CSA Director to authorize the approval of earmarked antipoverty funds to alleviate absolute and abject poverty for poor natural born black and white Americans within these United States. Nevertheless, it is our duty to protect the integrity of all elections because "election is the process of choosing a person to fill an office. An election contest is a right of action conferred on every candidate to contest the certification of nomination or the certificate of vote as made by the appropriate officials in any election. It is a post-election contest between two competing candidates. Fraud, corruption, or irregularities in regard to the method of holding an election in a division can affect the entire vote. Thus an election contest is a special proceeding created by the legislature to provide a remedy for elections tainted by fraud, illegality, or other irregularity. Generally, there are two types of election contests: Motion seeking to oust and replace the certified winner; and Motion seeking to declare an election void altogether. The fundamental purpose of an election contest is to ascertain the true will of the electorate. Moreover, an election contest provides a simple and speedy means of contesting elections. Additionally, an election contest presupposes a full and fair litigation of election disputes in an expeditious manner. The remedy provided in an election contest is a statutory one and equity cannot be invoked to determine an election’s validity. An election can be contested only for matters that would impeach the fairness of the result. election to any public office can be contested on the following grounds: An When illegal votes have been received; When legal votes rejected at the polls, sufficient to change the result; Where any error is committed by any board of canvassers in counting the votes or declaring the result of the election. There is no provision under the common law to contest an election. The right to contest an election exists only under the constitutional and statutory provisions. An election contest is a special statutory proceeding. One who seeks the benefit of a statutory proceeding must comply with all the procedural terms of the statute. Courts cannot exceed the provisions of applicable statutes in resolving election contests. Thus the procedure proscribed by a state must be strictly followed in deciding election contests. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001106 The judicial determination of election contests requires strict adherence to the constitutional and statutory provisions in the various jurisdictions. All candidates have the right to protest the returns of an election by filing a protest with the appropriate canvassing board. In order to contest election results, the petitioner must show that the result of the election will be different in the absence of irregularities. A candidate intending to contest the election of a member of the House of Representatives must file a notice of his/her intention to contest the election with the Board of Canvassers within thirty days after the result of the election. S/he must serve a copy of notice upon the contestee. The court or board authorized by statute or the constitution has jurisdiction to hear an election contest. The jurisdictional facts must appear on the face of the proceedings. However, jurisdictional defects can be raised at any time. A judge who may be affected by the result of the decision is disqualified from sitting in the hearing. The proper or necessary parties to election contest proceedings are usually prescribed by each statute. The right to contest an election is generally conferred on Electors; Candidates; or Both. However, a private citizen cannot initiate an election contest to remedy a public wrong. In order to seek a remedy under election contest, the petitioner must seek personal relief. A petition for an election contest must present more than mere charges of fraud and irregularity in the election. Specifications are necessary to avoid indefinite and indeterminable inquiry. In an election contest, courts usually grant such relief which the statutes specifically authorize. In deciding an election contest, the court can also uphold the entire election or declare it invalid; declare a winner of the election or order a new election between the candidates; declare the election void if it concludes that it cannot determine the true outcome of the election; or conclude that a new election is the fairest way to ascertain the true will of the people. In many jurisdictions, statutory or FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001107 constitutional provisions provide appeal from election contests available in many jurisdictions. Moreover, the judgment of the trial court can be stayed pending the decision of the appellate court. In reviewing the trial court’s findings of fact in an election contest, the appellate court will not disturb the trial court’s findings of fact unless those findings are plainly and palpably wrong and not supported by the evidence."

Snipes Final Final Corrections November 24, 2018 Dear Mr. President, BOLD is now of the opinion that this country's sovereignty has been turned over to so-called white skinned central Americans and/or over to all other white skinned Europeans sir. This is a very dangerous analysis because we believe that these forces in the future eventually will join together for the purposes of replacing so-called white skinned United States Americans. Therefore, putting the future of American born children at risk of a possible takeover or overthrowing of the country when they are of age to run the federal government in 2059 thru 2099. It is BOLD opinion this happened because US Leaders in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s placed a devaluation of American citizenship, so they could go into these foreign countries and rape them of important resources. They renamed earmarked anti-poverty funds that can only be approved by Mrs. Mary L. Hill founder of EOPI and National Regional Community Service Director to humanitarian aide, Community Development Block Grant funds, Social Service Block Grants, Welfare, Affordable Housing Funds, Community Redevelopment Funds in the 1990s under the Clinton administration. Now sir, you are having a difficult time closing this Pandora box because Illegal voting and election stealing by foreigners have replaced the children of former slaves legal standing to American lands because election fraud and the stealing of America from Americans is now a way of life because non-citizens or green card holders are prohibited by federal INS law to serves in restrictive employment or elected offices throughout Congress and beyond; whereas they are changing US laws to fit their own future agendas and purposes which is why foreign influences control all political parties now. In addition, they run any and all Economic Opportunity Act earmarked funding programs under Public Laws 88452, 92-424, 93-644 and 95-568 fraudulently in Miami and beyond that were passed by Congress in 1960s to help poor black and white natural born Americans out of poverty. These earmarked anti-poverty programs were hijacked by foreign born citizens in the 1980s under the Carter Administration. These earmarked anti-poverty funds are now unlawfully being used aiding illegal immigrants and non-citizens that helps improve their lives and not black Americans under the right legally established setup. A number of black Americans are disappointed with America because fromFL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001110 their shared sacrifices and loyalty in helping to fight in US wars, the country would rather free non-citizens from their inhumane conditions before letting natural born black citizens used these earmarked anti-poverty funds created in part for them to receive their full-fledged citizenship as mentioned in the 14th Amendment. Mr. President children of former slaves whose families have been here since 1619. We were given full American citizenship with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the passing of 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1868. Sir, no other group of people coming into this country have remained more loyal than natural born black Americans. We cared for white America's lands, protect their families, nursed their babies and gave our life's protecting and defending the United States Constitution, yet we are hated by every elected member serving in the Congress who would rather see illegals and foreign born citizens out of their poverty and not natural born black Americans. Our black children are being displaced and separated from their families every day because foreign born judges, prosecutors, police officials and defense attorneys use allegedly fake and fraudulent evidence to convict and incarcerate black men i.e. Drewery Geter in order to put them in prisons and use a judicial scheme that takes away their civil rights, human rights and voting rights done intentionally to destroy and separate black children; which also destroys black women and/or wives who later becomes prey and/or victims of these foreign born influences or non-citizens. Foreign influences that ultimately impregnate these black poor women leaving behind illegitimate families that will eventually wipe out or replace the legitimacy of both black and white races. We need your help Mr. President to save the natural born black citizens race in America from such a threat of destroying and erasing our families black history long after we are gone from this place. That's why Miami Dade County and it's home rule charter must be demolished or abolished to strike that last blow to Jim Crowism and expose Miami Dade County and the City of Miami as being a sanctuary city or county, since so many foreign born citizens or non-citizens serves in elected offices without being citizens of the United States of America. See 18 USC 611. These citizens have stolen America from Americans. We need signing Service her and your help sir in restoring black citizen's pride, dignity and respect that must come with your an executive order enforcing the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, 1967, 1972, 1978 and the Community Act of 1974 once and for all thus returning Mrs. Mary L.

Fla. Local Gen. Rule 16.1(e). I. Statement of the Case by Each Party. 1. Plaintiff American Civil Rights Union. This is a two-count action to enforce Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes’ compliance with Section 8 of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (“NVRA”), 52 U.S.C. § 20507 et seq. The NVRA obligates the Defendant to maintain accurate and current voter registration rolls in Broward County. Defendant must “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of – (A) the death of the registrant; or (B) a change in the residence of the registrant . . . .” 52 1 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001112 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(4)(A)-(B), and must “perform list maintenance with respect to the [State of Florida’s] computerized list on a regular basis . . . .” 52 U.S.C. § 21083(a)(2)(A). ACRU’s review of data disseminated by the United States Census Bureau and the federal Election Assistance Commission showed that over the past several election cycles the voter rolls maintained by Defendant have contained either more registrants than age-eligible citizens or an implausibly-high number of registrants. As required by the NVRA, ACRU sent a letter to Defendant on January 26, 2016, notifying her of these circumstances and informing her that she was in apparent violation of her voter list maintenance obligations under federal law. The NVRA further obligates Defendant to “maintain for at least 2 years and . . . make available for public inspection . . . all records concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters. . . .” 52 U.S.C. § 20507(i)(1). Invoking this statutory provision, ACRU’s January 26, 2016 letter requested that Defendant Snipes provide data and information that would tend to indicate whether or not she is in compliance with NVRA and other federal laws, and specifically requested that Defendant Snipes make available for public inspection “all records” concerning implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters, explaining that Defendant was required to make such records available under Section 8 of the NVRA. Defendant responded to ACRU’s letter on February 8. Defendant denied that she is in violation of her voter list maintenance obligations under the NVRA. Defendant did not provide ACRU with the requested data and information. Defendant provide only Certification of Eligibility Records Maintenance reports from 2010-2015. 2 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001113 On April 5, 2016, ACRU’s representative telephoned Defendant Snipes to set up a meeting to discuss the issues outlined in ACRU’s January 26, 2016 notice letter. Defendant declined to meet with ACRU or its representatives. By failing to conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters, and by failing to permit inspection of the list maintenance records requested by ACRU, or otherwise produce them, Defendant Snipes is in violation of Section 8 of NVRA. ACRU seeks an order from this Court (1) declaring that Defendant Snipes is in violation of Section 8 of the NVRA for failure to permit public inspection of list maintenance activity records and (2) declaring that Defendant Snipes has failed to conduct a reasonable general program of voter list maintenance; (3) ordering Defendant to implement reasonable and effective registration list maintenance programs to cure failures to comply with the NVRA and ensure that non-citizens and ineligible registrants are not on Defendant’s voter registration rolls; and (4) ordering Defendant to substantively respond to Plaintiffs’ written request for inspection of all records concerning her implementation of programs and activities to ensure the accuracy and currency of Broward County’s voter registration list and provide access to election records. 2. Defendant Brenda C. Snipes’ Statement of the Case. As to Count 1: Defendant Snipes has met and exceeded all NVRA legal requirements for a determination of compliance. Specifically, Defendant has met NVRA’s obligation to “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible votes from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of: (A) the death of the registrant; or (B) a change in the residence of the registrant.” 52 USC § 20507(a)4(A)-(B). 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001114 Defendant has met this obligation by establishing a program under which change-of-address information supplied by the Postal Service through its licensees is used to identify registrants whose addresses may have changed. And if a registrant has moved to a different residence address in the same registrar's jurisdiction in which the registrant is currently registered, the Defendant changes the registration records to show the new address and sends the registrant a notice of the change by forwardable mail and a postage prepaid pre-addressed return form by which the registrant may verify or correct the address information. If the registrant has moved to a different residence address not in the same registrar's jurisdiction, Defendant uses the notice procedure in the NVRA to confirm the change of address. In addition, Defendant removes deceased registrants promptly following receipt of notice of death from the State (through the State VR system, “Florida Voter Registration System” or “FVRS”). Defendant also undertakes additional list maintenance activities by removing registrants who have become ineligible by reason of State law and registrants identified as non-citizens (also through FVRS). Defendant has complied with Section 8 of the NVRA, which permits Defendant to remove registrants from the voter rolls only in accordance with specific procedures set forth in Section 20507(d). Defendant has not violated Section 20507(d)(1) of the NVRA, which does not permit removal of a registered voter from the official list of eligible voters in elections for Federal office on the ground that the registrant has changed residence unless the registrant: (a) confirms in writing that the registrant has changed residence to a place outside the registrar's jurisdiction in which the registrant is registered; or (B) has failed to respond to a notice described in paragraph (2); and has not voted or appeared to vote (and, if necessary, correct the registrar's record of the registrant's address) in an election during the period beginning on the date of the notice and ending on the day after the date of the second general election for Federal office that 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001115 occurs after the date of the notice. 52 U.S.C § 20507(d). Defendant has not removed any registrants 90 days prior to the date of a primary or general election for Federal office. See 52 U.S.C § 20507(c)(2)A. Because Defendant cannot remove registrants unless in accordance with Section 20507(d), there is necessarily a lag between the time a registered voter has become ineligible and the date when the voter’s registration records are updated. Plaintiff has made little effort to determine how the VR System stores computer documents relating to NVRA. Plaintiff has never pursued through court order proprietary computer manuals and has avoided taking the depositions of anyone associated with Defendant’s computer system operations or vendors that were made known through discovery. While the Defendant and each SOE employee deposed stated that Jorge Nuñez was the person with the most knowledge of computer system operations for purposes of NVRA, Plaintiff has refused to take the deposition of Jorge Nuñez and has at no point sought to speak with him or any other computer staff person or vendor working with Defendant Snipes’ office. As to Count II: As to Count II, on January 26, 2016, Defendant received a letter from Plaintiff identical to letters sent by Plaintiff to other Florida counties, including 63 other counties throughout the Southeast United States. The letter threatened litigation, accused Defendant Snipes of “having an implausible number of registered voters compared to the number of eligible living citizens” and further stated that the Attorney General of the United States had “failed” to enforce the list maintenance requirements of Section 8 of the NVRA.” The letter closed with a statement that Defendant Snipes should “feel free to call to arrange a convenient time to discuss and arrange for an inspection.” 5 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001116 Because the “notice” letter from Plaintiff threatened litigation, Dr. Snipes contacted her General Counsel to make her aware that she would be contacted by Plaintiff regarding an inspection. Contacting the General Counsel for potential litigation letters is standard for the office. Defendant Snipes was later contacted by a person purporting to be the attorney for Plaintiff and, once again, provided the contact information for the General Counsel. Along with Defendant Snipes’ February 8, 2016 response letter to Plaintiff, Defendant Snipes also included various Certification of Eligibility Records Maintenance and Certification of Address List Maintenance Activities forms as a summary of list maintenance activities pending the inspection. Complying with the “notice” letter by any means other than an inspection would have been impossible because the letter specified no specific time-frame for the documents and could have conceivably applied to most every document related to Defendant Snipes’ operations, including all documents stored in Defendant’s massively large warehouse. The “notice” letter was written in such a way as to avoid clarity and intent. Plaintiff filed this action on or about June 27, 2016. At no time prior to the filing of this action did Defendant Snipes refuse to provide documents or allow for an inspection of documents. Plaintiff does not claim that Snipes’ attorney was ever contacted for arrangement of an inspection. Plaintiff waited the requisite ninety (90) day period before suing Defendant Snipes and without making a good faith attempt to arrange for an inspection. The inspection provisions contemplated by NVRA are separate and apart from the discovery process. As such, any and all discovery matters raised by Plaintiff since the filing of this lawsuit are irrelevant and in no way constitute a violation of the NVRA on the part of Defendant Snipes. The discovery matters raised by Plaintiff in no way constitute liability on the part of Defendant Snipes. 6 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001117 3. Intervenor-Defendant 1199SEIU. 1199SEIU intervened in Claim I of this action to ensure that no voter in Broward County, including any of 1199SEIU’s members, has his or her registration improperly canceled as a result of Plaintiff’s request for court-ordered voter “list maintenance.” The NVRA permits states to remove registrants from the rolls only for specific reasons, and in accordance with the specific procedures that are set forth in Section 8. See 52 U.S.C. § 20507. Under Claim I, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant Snipes has failed to comply with Section 8 because Plaintiff believes that Defendant has not sufficiently taken steps to remove registrants from the voter rolls under Section 8(a)(4), 52 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(4), which requires the state—or the local election officials to whom the obligation is delegated by the state—to “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of” death or change of address. But Plaintiff’s subjective view of the sufficiency of Defendant’s removal program misunderstands Defendant’s obligation, and the statute. Specifically, Congress included in Section 8 an example of how an election official “may meet the requirement of subsection (a)(4).” 52 U.S.C. § 20507(c)(1). Namely, Section 8(a)(4)’s requirement may be met by establishing a program that uses national change-of-address information from the U.S. Postal Service or its licensees, as further detailed by Section 8(c)(1). Intervenor contends, in agreement with Defendant, that the plain language of Section 8(c)(1) establishes what has been called a “safe harbor” that effectively serves as an affirmative defense to Plaintiff’s claim of noncompliance with Section 8(a)(4). But even notwithstanding the language of Section 8(c)(1), Intervenor agrees that Defendant complies with her Section 8 obligations. Defendant undertakes a comprehensive set of list maintenance activities, including the use of change-of-address information described by 7 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001118 Section 8(c)(1), voter contact information, and the removal of deceased voters using official data provided by the Florida Division of Elections. Defendant also undertakes list maintenance activities beyond the removal of registrants who have died or moved—including the removal of registrants who have become ineligible by reason of state law and registrants identified as noncitizens. For both of the above-described reasons, each independently, Intervenor maintains that Defendant complies with the NVRA’s requirements under Section 8. II. Basis for Federal Jurisdiction. This Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1331, as the action arises under the laws of the United States. This Court also has jurisdiction under 52 U.S.C. § 20510(b), as the action seeks injunctive and declaratory relief under the NVRA. III. Pleadings Raising the Issues. 1. First Amended Complaint.

Concise Statement of the Uncontested Facts Requiring No Proof at Trial and Reservations. 1. Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes currently serves as the Broward County Supervisor of Elections (“SOE”), an elected position, and has held that position since November 1, 2003. 2. 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East (“1199SEIU”) is a labor union with a focus on representing healthcare workers and those who work in healthcare facilities. The Court granted 1199SEIU leave to intervene as to Count 1 of the above-captioned litigation on September 21, 2016. ECF No. [29]. 3. Defendant Snipes is responsible for performing list maintenance on Broward County’s voter rolls in accordance with the NVRA. On January 26, 2016, ACRU sent a statutory notice letter to Defendant Snipes (the “Notice Letter”). ECF No. [1-1] The Notice Letter notified Defendant Snipes that a lawsuit may be brought against her under the NVRA. 4. The letter from Plaintiff accused Defendant Snipes of “having an implausible number of registered voters compared to the number of eligible living citizens” and further stated that the Attorney General of the United States had “failed” to enforce the list maintenance requirements of Section 8 of the NVRA.” 5. The letter specified no specific timeframe for the documents. 9 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001120 By letter, on February 8, 2016, Defendant Snipes responded to the Notice Letter. 6. Defendant stated in her response, “At no time during my tenure, which began in November 2003, has the number of registered voters outnumbered the live persons residing in Broward County.” Defendant Snipes further stated that Broward County “adheres strictly” to the Florida voter list maintenance programs. 7. Along with her response, Defendant Snipes provided summary copies of Certification of Eligibility Records Maintenance reports for the years 2010 through 2015. 8. Other than these certifications, Defendant Snipes provided no other documents to ACRU in response to ACRU’s public inspection request under NVRA subsection 20507(i) prior to the commencement of this lawsuit because no inspection took place. 9. An ACRU representative and Defendant Snipes spoke via telephone regarding the Notice Letter.1 10. In Defendant Snipes’ February 8, 2017 response letter she stated that for “further information, please contact Burnadette Norris-Weeks, Esq. who is the General Counsel for the office.” 11. At no time was Burnadette Norris-Weeks contacted by the Plaintiff’s prior to the filing of Plaintiff’s lawsuit. 12. For reasons that are disputed, Plaintiff did not visit Defendant Snipes’s office to inspect list maintenance records prior to filing this action. 13. Pursuant to the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (“HAVA”), Florida maintains a statewide voter registration database, which is referred to as a Florida Voter Registration System (“FVRS”). The Florida Department of Elections (“DOE”) manages FVRS. 1 The substance of this phone conversation is in dispute. See Issues of Fact Which Remain to Be Litigated (Section VIII) ¶ 5. 10 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001121 14. Mary Hall is employed by the Broward County Supervisor of Elections office as Voter Services Director and reports to Dr. Snipes. 15. Jorge Nuñez is employed by the Broward County Supervisor of Elections office as Information Technology Director. 16. Mr. Nuñez maintains Defendant’s voter-registration database and is “very involved in the list-maintenance process.” Mr. Nuñez prepares twice-yearly certifications summarizing the Defendant’s list-maintenance activities that are provided to the Division of Elections (“DOE”) of the Florida Department of State (“DOS”). These certifications are signed by Dr. Snipes. Mr. Nuñez is also responsible for placing orders with and sending data files to Commercial Printers, Inc. (“Commercial Printers”), a third-party vendor that performs printing and mailing services related to Defendant’s list maintenance. Commercial Printers has performed all high-volume printing and mass-mailing services for Defendant since she took office. 17. Broward County uses a voter registration database system that was developed by VR Systems, Inc. (“VR Systems”), an outside vendor with which the Defendant contracts. The database, often referred to by Defendant and her employees as the “VR System,” interfaces directly with FVRS. 18. Dr. Snipes’ office reconciles in-state duplicates sent from the state through FVRS. 19. Between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed four registrants from the voter rolls as non-U.S. Citizens. 20. Between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed approximately 240,028 registrants form the voter rolls in Broward County. 11 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001122 21. Between January 7, 2015 and January 10, 2017, Broward County removed approximately 192,157 registered voters from its voter rolls, including approximately 108,152 Inactive voters and approximately 83,052 Active voters. 22. Each day, the DOE provides the Defendant with the names of voters who have recently died, transmitted electronically through FVRS. Snipes Depo. 49:21-50:5; 75:19-22. As this information has already been verified, Defendant cancels those voter registration records upon receiving the list from DOE, without the need to send a notice or take other steps to confirm the information. 23. Between January 1, 2014 and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed 37,095 registrants from Broward County’s voter registration rolls because the registrant was determined to be deceased. Ineligible Voters, cannot be reinstated, From 01-01-2014 to 12-31-2016.pdf (“Inelig. Rep.”), at 17,781. 24. Between January 1, 2014, and December 31, 2016, Defendant removed more than 9,000 duplicate registrants. Inelig. Rep. at 17,781. 25. The Florida voter registration form and the National Voter Registration Form each require applicants to affirm their citizenship under penalty of perjury. See Fla. Stat. Ann. § 97.052(2)(s); 52 U.S.C. § 20508(b)(2). 26. Approximately 148,645 registered voters who lived within Broward County who were registered as of January 7, 2015, and who were still registered in the county as of January 10, 2017, updated their street address to a new address within Broward County. Smith Rebuttal 4, 5. 27. Dr. Snipes’s office processes the notices she receives from the Department of Elections regarding registrants who have been convicted of a felony. 12 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001123 28. Defendant’s office receives an electronic list of individuals with a felony conviction from DOE on a daily basis. Defendant then generates a letter to mail to each registrant on that list. The registrant has 30 days to reply, to either confirm or contest the state’s information. If there is no reply, Defendant publishes a notice in the newspaper. If there is no response within another 30 days, the registrant is automatically removed from the rolls. 29. Unlike other mailings conducted by Defendant, mailings to individuals convicted of a felony are handled by Defendant rather than Commercial Printers. Hall Depo. 47:24-48:1. 30. From January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2016, Defendant removed 5,102 registrants from the voter rolls for “Civil Rights, etc.” (felony conviction). Inelig. Rep. 17,781. 31. Several key personnel in Defendant’s office are responsible for carrying out the office’s responsibilities relating to voter registration and voter-roll maintenance. In addition to Dr. Snipes, several people are involved with voter-list maintenance in Dr. Snipes’ office, including but not limited to Jorge Nuñez, Mary Hall. and Sonia Cahuasqui, 32. On October 6, 2015, Mr. Richard Gabbay sent an email to Brenda Snipes regarding alleged inactive registrations in a community in Broward County. On October 8, Mr. Gabbay received confirmation from Defendant Snipes that his email was received. Dr. Snipes stated in the email, “We will review your findings and take the appropriate steps under Florida Law to update the voters’ record as deemed necessary.” (Untitled (3).pdf) 33. On November 18, 2015, Mr. Gabbay sent a “Public Records Request “to Defendant Snipes via email “to determine how many letters your office has mailed to the 629 voter registrations on the list I provided to your office by attached excel spreadsheet on October 6, 2015” and asked for “an example(s) of the letter(s) sent.” Defendant Snipes responded on December 1, 2015, saying that a mailing was sent all active voters, including the ones on Mr. 13 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001124 Gabbay’s list. Dr. Snipes further indicated to Mr. Gabbay that “[I]f this first class piece is returned as undeliverable, a process of changing the voter’s status will begin.” 34. On February 4, 2016, Dr. Snipes sent an email to Mr. Gabbay in which she indicated that they were “rechecking the list to determine how many records were changed as a result of the mailing of the letters.” 35. On each of August 1 and 2, 2016, Mr. Gabbay sent an email to Dr. Brenda Snipes. 36. On August 11, 2016, Mr. William Skinner, a resident of Palm Beach County, sent a letter via email to Defendant Snipes and two other Broward County election employees, among others, summarizing and attaching data he asserted was “extracted from voter registration data provided by the Florida Secretary of State and the New York Board of Elections.” 37. Defendant Snipes has removed a total of 19 registrants from the voter roll from 2009 to the present by reason of the registrant not being a U.S. citizen. VI. Issues of Fact Which Remain to Be Litigated. Plaintiff’s Statement: 1. The number of registrants included in Broward County’s voter registration rolls each year for the years 2010 through 2017. 2. Whether and how Defendant Snipes receives and uses NCOA database information for list maintenance purposes as envisioned and described by the NVRA. 3. Whether and how Defendant Snipes updates addresses of registrants before sending out address change notifications. 4. Whether and to what extent Defendant Snipes changes the status of inactive voters to “ineligible” following two cycles of inactivity. 14 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001125 5. Whether and to what extent Defendant Snipes removes inactive registrants from the voter registration rolls. 6. Whether and how Defendant Snipes complies with the minimum statutory list maintenance obligations under Florida Law. See Fla. Stat. 98.065(2)(a)-(c). 7. Facts concerning the alleged 629 ineligible registrants discovered by Mr. Richard Gabbay’s, including Defendant Snipes’s response to same. 8. Facts concerning the alleged 7,635 persons discovered to be registered in both Broward County, Florida and the State of New York and the alleged 169 persons who voted in both Broward County, Florida and the State of New York, including Defendant Snipes’s response to the same. 9. Facts concerning data from the official voter extract data from the Florida Department of Elections for December 2016 allegedly showing that there are over 3,000 persons on the Broward County voter registration lists who are 101 years old or older. 10. Facts concerning the official voter extract data from the Florida Division of Elections allegedly showing that of the 2,100 persons who died in Broward County in 2011, 481 remained on the rolls in mid-2012 11. Facts concerning the official voter extract data from the Florida Division of Elections from May 2016 alleged showing: i. 2,082 likely duplicate registrations in Broward County; ii. 2,208 persons who likely voted multiple times in the same election in Broward County; iii. 862 registrants who were over 105 years old, half of which were active voters; 15 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001126 iv. 1 active voter who was 12 years old and had been registered since age 8; and, v. 21 registrants who had no first name listed on their registration. Defendant’s Statement: Defendant Snipes adopts Intervenor’s Statement as to Count I and contends that there are no disputed material factual issues that are relevant and necessary to the issues to resolve Count II, and that Dr. Snipes is entitled to Summary Judgment as a matter of law. See Defendant’s Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Count II. ECF No. [145]. To the extent that summary judgment is not granted as to Count II, Defendant Snipes contends that all of the disputes related to the facts concern the legal significance and characterizations of otherwise undisputed facts. Defendant-Intervenor’s Statement: Intervenor contends that there are no disputed material factual issues that are relevant and necessary to the issues to resolve Count I, and that Dr. Snipes and 1199SEIU are entitled to summary judgment as a matter of law. See Defendants’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment on Count I. ECF No. [142]. To the extent that summary judgment is not granted as to Count I, Intervenor contends that all of the disputes related to the facts concern the legal significance and characterizations of otherwise undisputed facts. VII. Issues of Law on Which There are Agreement. 1. The NVRA, 52 U.S.C. § 20507, states that (a) In the administration of voter registration for elections for Federal office, each State shall— ... 16 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001127 (4) conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of— (A) the death of the registrant; or (B) a change in the residence of the registrant, in accordance with subsections (b), (c), and (d) (i) The NVRA provides at 52 U.S.C. § 20507(c) that, with respect to voter removal programs, (1) A State may meet the requirement of subsection (a)(4) by establishing a program under which— (A) change-of-address information supplied by the Postal Service through its licensees is used to identify registrants whose addresses may have changed; and (B) if it appears from information provided by the Postal Service that— (i) a registrant has moved to a different residence address in the same registrar’s jurisdiction in which the registrant is currently registered, the registrar changes the registration records to show the new address and sends the registrant a notice of the change by forwardable mail and a postage prepaid pre-addressed return form by which the registrant may verify or correct the address information; or 17 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001128 (ii) the registrant has moved to a different residence address not in the same registrar’s jurisdiction, the registrar uses the notice procedure described in subsection (d)(2) to confirm the change of address. 2. Defendant Snipes has a legal duty to maintain for two years and make available for public inspection “all records concerning the implementation and, where available, photocopying at a reasonable cost, all records concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters.” 52 U.S.C. § 20507(i). VIII. Issues of Law Which Remain for Determination by the Court. 1. Whether establishing a list maintenance program that uses national change of address information, pursuant to 52 U.S.C. § 20507(c)(1), satisfies an election official’s list maintenance obligation under 52 U.S.C. § 20507(a)(4). 2. Whether Defendant Snipes has complied with her obligation under Section 8(a)(4) of the NVRA to “conduct a general program that makes a reasonable effort to remove the names of ineligible voters from the official lists of eligible voters by reason of” death or change of residence. 3. Whether Defendant Snipes has complied with the public records inspection provision of the NVRA. 4. Whether Plaintiff had a duty to pursue an inspection of all records related to NVRA duties prior to the filing of this action. 5. Whether an action to inspect can be brought under NVRA where there has been no refusal to cooperate with inspection prior to a lawsuit being filed. 18 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001129 6. Whether records that are too voluminous in nature to be copied at a reasonable cost would require inspection rather than photocopying in accordance with 52 U.S.C. § 20507(i). 7. Whether Defendant Snipes’ February 8, 2017 letter referring further matters to her attorney constitutes a refusal to inspect under the NVRA. 8. Whether Defendant Snipes is entitled to receive reimbursement for reasonable photocopying and reproduction costs for documents produced to Plaintiff concerning the implementation of programs and activities conducted for the purpose of ensuring the accuracy and currency of official lists of eligible voters, consistent with 52 U.S.C. § 20507. 9. The amount of costs Defendant is entitled to for photocopying and reproduction costs. IX. Numbered Lists of Trial Exhibits & Objections. Please see attached schedules. X. Trial Witnesses. Please see attached schedules. XI. Estimated trial time. The parties agree that the estimated length of trial is 3-5 days. XII. Attorney’s Fees, If Allowable. The parties agree that the NVRA permits the Court to award “reasonable attorney fees, including litigation expenses and costs, to the prevailing party.” 52 U.S.C. § 20510. 19 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001130 RE: Follow-up: Election law violation by Snipes office bnorris@bnwlegal.com Sent:Friday, December 15, 2017 3:10 PM To: Marc Caputo [mcaputo@politico.com] Cc: Dr. Brenda C.

This ballot issue happened outside of the SOE’s office and was one that the office or its employees had absolutely no control over.

As for your other points, you sure seem to want to li gate in the press —your sugges on otherwise notwithstanding. Sent from my iPhone On Dec 15, 2017, at 8:51 AM, "bnorris@bnwlegal.com" wrote: Mark, I understand that you may be interested in trying the Canova case against the Broward County Supervisor of Election in the media (as you told us by telephone you did not have a problem doing) but for your to go back and mischaracterize other cases makes me clearly understand some people feel that the media is dishonest. Please see my comments below: Before the election last year, her office mistakenly sent out some absentee ballots to voters that failed to list a popular medical marijuana measure that ultimately passed by wide margins, but not before the office was sued by the Florida chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. There was a trial in this case. Four test ballots were accidentally added by our off-site printer. This case was tried and the Broward County Supervisor of Election office prevailed. In another case during the election, the office mailed out about 1,700 ballots that had the word “no” in Creole where it should have said “wi” for “yes.” Ballots were reduced to a precinct and there was no such case ever filed. This is not true. Please correct this information. Right before the general election, the Republican Party of Florida sued Snipes for the way in which her office handled the opening of absentee ballots. The matter was settled promptly, but the party refiled its lawsuit to get a court order enforcing the procedures. That case is ongoing. There was NEVER a “settlement” with Snipes of any such issue. The office opened the ballots properly, however, the Republican Party wanted their own suggested procedure followed. The Republican Party does not have a legitimate case. Please correct this information. Meanwhile, Snipes is defending herself in another lawsuit over theFL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001132 way the office removes ineligible voters from the rolls. That case, filed in federal court in South Florida by the conservative American Civil Rights Union, alleges Broward had more registered voters than voting-age population. Snipes office denies the charges and says ACRU is using outdated census information. Progressive groups say ACRU’s goal is to suppress minority votes, an accusation the group denies. This lawsuit is purely political and was strategically filed in the bluest state in Florida. You obviously have no interest in covering any defenses raised by the Broward SOE or the fact that the Plaintiff sends its witnesses to different parts of the country on behalf of the Republican Party. Broward County has the most registered Democrats in Florida, 593,000. And the 254,000 Republicans are outnumbered by the more than 333,000 voters who are registered in neither major political party. During the trial, Snipes’ office also botched producing a voter-roll maintenance manual it was supposed to furnish after the suit was filed. There was a legal and contractual reason why the computer manual was not produced and it was well stated in discover. The court later ruled that it could be produced under seal. SOE Employees testified that they regularly use the electronic manual from the computer system. The computer manual is the most up-to-date manual. The rarely used hard copy manual contains printouts from the online computer manual -- which contains proprietary information from the vendor. This is proven because the manual was filed under seal as agreed to by the parties and approved by the Court. There was no issue of a “botched manual”. The office refers to the computer manual as the manual that they use. When it was discovered that there was a printed hard copy manual printed from the computer it was produced and the one section missing was also produced. The manual was found four days before trial, but the office didn’t produce it until the morning of the second day of trial. The following day, Snipes’ office admitted that a portion of the manual, concerning the process of removing voters, was missing. We hope that you will do the proper research and correct your article today. We sincerely hope that you will be fair in your representations to the public. I hope that it is NOT your intent to report that there were lawsuits and settlements that never took place. Also, you may consider researching Mr. Adams’ background. Seems that you are holding him out as a disinterested attorney just doing his job. If you do any investigation at all, you will see that is not the case. I will refrain from addressing your references to the prior Supervisor. Thank you.

New York City and San Francisco have given non-citizens the franchise at least in some local elections. Six local governments in Maryland also allow resident aliens to vote, and College Park wants to be the seventh - with one additional twist, according to Bob Popper of Judicial Watch. "What they propose to do is particularly problematic," Popper says of College Park, "because they would not make any distinction between legal and not-legally present non-citizens." College Park, a city of 32,000 in Prince George's County, would allow citizens 28 days before the election to register to vote, and non-citizens can register to vote within 14 days of the election. It is illegal for non-citizens to vote in federal elections, and states can say they can't vote in statewide contests either, but it's actually not illegal for cities or counties to allow the practice. The argument is that residents who have kids in local schools and pay FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001137 local taxes should be allowed to vote on the government bodies that affect their lives. But that's not how it's supposed to work, Popper insists, because there is the "fundamental question of equity," he says. "People who are the citizens of this country," he says, "people who will have to pay any income taxes to support what happens, people who don't have another country where they can leave to as citizens, those people have a different relationship to the country than non-citizens." He also stresses the additional security and organization to keep separate ballots for citizens and non-citizens, increasing the odds that the latter can vote by accident - or by design - in national elections.

What time on Monday are you available to discuss the database inspection in advance of the 13th meeting? SOE staff needs to know what to pull. For example, the database has millions of records and the interface to access the information is thru the use of VR software (frontend). The backend to the database is Microsoft SQL which does not have a user friendly interface and some aspects of the database configurations might be proprietary to VR. We will need to discuss exactly what you are requesting since your prior request, in large part, is not consistent with how the system actually works.

Corley; lchurchwell@publicinterestlegal.org; Maria Matthews Subject: Over 900 felons voted in the Nov 2016 Election in Broward, Trump may be right there appears to be a lot of fraud in South Florida! Dr. Snipes, I am requesting immediate actions on properly investigating and forwarding any voter fraud to the state attorneys who lost their legal right to vote and voted in the Nov 2016 election, there were in access of 900 felons who have appeared to have voted in the Nov 2016 Presidential Election, and you have appeared to be ignoring this. I shouldn’t have to request a public record on each felon and read the data myself and have me forward this information to the state’s attorney’s office. It’s your office’s responsibility, as you are removing each felon from the voter role to report fraud to the state attorney’s office not mine! This would cost me over $10,000 dollars in public record fees, plus my time and expenses to confirm which of theseFL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001148 felons lost their right before or after the Nov 2016 election. Dr. Snipes, your inaction is sending a clear message to felons, it’s ok for them to vote, since nothing will happen even if you catch them! This determination occurred by a report your office created on Feb 1, 2017 which showed you had removed 3212 felons starting immediately after the Nov 2016 election. I had asked your office if they could determine how many of these felons voted in Nov 2016, I was informed you couldn’t. Based on the report you gave me, I ran a report on my servers, and I determined, over 900 felons that your office started removing shortly after the November 2016, without their rights restored, voted in the November 2016 election. I asked for two sample documents of the documentation your received from the state, at around $25. In both these examples, the felons had convictions in 2008 and 2013 respectively, well before Nov 2016 election. I have attached those documents to this email, so that the public can see, I have properly investigated this. It was very interesting that one of the application forms you gave me, on the second page of “Felon Number 1 I don’t know.pdf” attached where it say on the felons application form he wasn’t sure if he was a felon or not? Shouldn’t have that been a red flag for your office to contact the individual and ask more questions before accepting his voter registration. I will provide some history to remind you of other data that seems to be ignored, and you have not forwarded to the states attorney’s office. With a public records request to the Broward County Clerk’s office in April of 2017. I requested a list of all individuals who told the court they were not able to perform jury duty since they were a convicted felon whose voting rights were not restored. The list provided started from January 1, 2016 to May 25, 2017. I was informed by the court that when an individual state they are a convicted felon without their rights restored, they are only excused once they provide additional information as proof. With the small set of data from Broward I did find 140 convicted felons without right restored on voter rolls, which included 70 who voted in the Nov 2016 election. I provided this information to your office and you still haven’t informed me if any information was sent to the State attorney’s office to report these crimes. These convictions were well before Nov 2016. The citizens of Florida deserve fair and honest elections. Lots of rhetoric out there, that there is a lot of fraud. This is a significant find in fraud and I am frustrated since I think your office has done nothing in reporting it to the State Attorney’s office! I have cc’d the State Supervisor of Elections, various media, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi and the local State attorney’s office.

I (2) Such contestant shall ?le acomplaint, together with the fees prescribed in chapter 28, with the clerk of the circuit court within 10 days after midnight of the date the last board responsible for certifying the results of?cially certi?es the results of the election being contested. (3) The complaint shall set forth the grounds on which the contestant intends to establish his or her right to such of?ce or set aside the resultof the election on a submitted referendum.

The Elections Canvassing Commission is an indispensable party defendant in - federal, state, and multicounty elections and in elections for justice of the Supreme Court, judge of a district 3 . 162 I court of appeal, and judge of a circuit court.

However, the court in its discretion may limit the time to be consumed in taking testimony, with a view therein to the circumstances of the matter and to the proximity of any succeeding election. In any contest that requires a review of the canvassing board?s decision on the legality of a vote-by- mail ballot pursuant to 3.1% based upon a comparison of the signature on the voter?s certi?cate and the signature of the elector in the registration records, the circuit court may not review or consider any evidence other than the signature on the voter?s certi?cate and the signature of the elector in-the registration records. The court?s review of such issue shall be to determine only if the canvassing board abused its discretion in making-its decision. An election is the process of choosing a person to ?ll an of?ce. An election contest is a right of action conferred on every candidate to contest the certi?cation of nomination or the certi?cate of vote as made by the appropriate of?cials in any election[i].

I Generally, there are two types of election contests[iv]: 0 Motion seeking to oust and replace the certi?ed winner; and a Motion seeking to declare an election void altogether. The fundamental purpose of an election contest is to ascertain the true will of the electorate[v]. Moreover, an electiOn contest provides a simple and Speedy means of contesting I elections. Additionally, an election contest presupposes a full and fair litigation ofelection disputes in an expeditious manner[vi]. The remedy provided in an election contest is a statutOiy one and equity cannot be invoked to determine an election?s validity. An- election can be contested only for matters that would impeach the fairness of the result. Ari-election to any public, of?ce can be contested on the following grounds[vii]: . When illegal votes have been received; . . When legal votes rejected at the polls, suf?cient to change the result; . Where any error is committed by any board of canvassers in counting the votes or declaring the result of the election. - There is no provision under the common law to contest an election. The right to contest an election exists only under the constitutional and statutory provisions. An election contest is a special statutory proceeding. One who seeks the benefit of a statutory proceeding must comply with all the procedural terms of the statute. Courts cannot exceed the provisions of applicable "statutes 'in resolving election Thus, the procedure proscribed by a state must be strictly followed in deciding election contests. The judicial determination of election contests requires strict adherence to the constitutional and statutory provisions in the various jurisdictions?x].

CE Exhibit A Date: August 23, 1977 Subject: Elections, contested elections and legal costs ELECTIONS-SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE MAY NOT USE PUBLIC FUNDS To DEFEND CONTESTED ELECTION RESULT To: Willie Mae Jones, Gilchrist County Supervisor of Elections, Trenton Prepared by: Patricia R. Gleason, Assistant Attorney General QUESTION: May county funds or funds available in the of?ce budget of the supervisor of elections be expended to provide a defense for a supervisor of elections who has been made a party defendant in an election contest in his or her individual capacity as the successful candidate or nominee and where the county canvassing board of which such supervisor is a member is a party defendant as required by s. SUMMARY: Neither county funds nor funds available in the of?ce budget of the supervisor of elections may be expended to defend a supervisor of elections who has been made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. Such litigation is perSonal to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in espending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. According to your letter, you were made a party defendant in an election contest proceeding instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. That section provides 111 pertinent part: ."The certi?cation of election _or nomination of any person to of?ce may be contested in the circuit court . . . by any unsuccessful candidate for such office. ?The successful candidate and the canvassing board or board shaZl be the pi oper party defendants. (Emphasis supplied.) An examination of the complaint ?led by the unsuccessful candidate for nomination to the of?ce of superviso1 of elections a copy of which you have attached to your letter, leveals that you were made a party defendant in your individual capacity as the successful candidate for nomination to the of?ce of supervisor of elections and that the county canvassing board was also made a party defendant as required by the terms of s. 102.161, F. 3., above quoted. The complaint further reveals that no charges are made against or relief sought from the defendant canvassing board with respect to any act on the part of such board in carrying out its statutorily assigned duties and functions. (See ss. 101. 68, 102. 141, 102. 151, and 102.166 S. ,as to the duties and functions of the county canvassing board To the contiary, the complaint alleges that the super'vism of elections unlawfully solicited the casting of absentee ballets. Thus, the complaint prays that ?the returns from the absentee ballots in said election be rejected" and that the unsuccessful candidate be "declaI ed the rightful winner of said election. The foregoing analysis of the allegations contained 111 the complaint makes clear that the action is simply an election contest predicated upon the validity of certain absentee votes and challenging the right of the successful candidate or nominee to hold the of?ce. to which she was elected. The question of whether 01' not public funds may properly be expended to provide a legal defense for the successful candidate'in such an election contest proceeding has been recently considered by the court in Markham v. State by and Through the Department of Revenue, 298 So.2d 210 (1 D.C.A. 1a., 1974). The Markham case involved an election contest challenging the action of the Broward County Canvassing Board in canvassing and counting certain absentee ballots. The unsuccessful candidate for the of?ce of Broward County Tax 'Assessor sued both the successful candidate 111 his individual capacity and the county canvassing board. The question under conside1ation by the court was whether or not the successful candidate for the of?ce of tax assesso1 could use funds available 1n his of?ce budget for legal expenses to pay attorneys he had retained to defend him 111 the election 0011test. In ruling that such an expenditure would be 1mp1"ope1, the court held. "The suit giving rise to the' incurring of the attorney' 3 fees was not against the .[tax assessor] 1n his of?cial capacity nor did it arise from a discharge of his of?cial duties nor serve a public purpose. The suit was a pure and simple election contest relating to the validity of certain absentee votes. The questioned absentee votes were suf?cient in number to affect the result of the election. Under the law of Florida as announced in cases too numerous to cite, had the contestant been successful in his attack upon the votes the appellant would have ceased to be tax assessor and his opponent would have taken Iof?ce. The of?ce, functions and duties of tax assesso1 would not have been 111 any manne1 altered. There would simply have been another man ?lling the position. The legal battle between the political contestants was purely per.sonal Each wanted to be tax assessor of Browar County and the challenged absentee votes furnished the key to the door." [298 So.2d at 212.] Accord: Peck v. Spence-1,7 So. 642, 644 (Fla. 1890) (town council was without authority to authorize the acting mayor to defend at the town's expense a suit which had been ?led against the acting mayor by a defeated candidate to test thevalidity of the town election); Williams v. City of Miami, 42 ?So.2d 5 82 (Fla. 1949) (city had no interest in defending a suit arising out of a recall election); AGO's 071-? 135 and 071?276. Applying the foregoing cases and Attorney General Opinions to your inquiry, it is my opinion that the expenditure of public funds, either from your of?ce income or budgeted funds or county funds, to defend you in your capacity as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to s. 102.161, F. 8., would be'improper. To the extent that the lawsuit represents a ?legal battle" between an unsuccessful and a successful candidate or nominee to determine who is entitled to the of?ce of supervisor of elections, it would appear that the outcome of suCh litigation is dependent upon the validity ofthe absentee ballots cast and IS, the1efore, peISonal to the candidates involved Fu1the1mo1e no additional factors which would indicate suf?cient public interest in the outcome of the election contest are made apparent from the face of the complaint. Compare Estes v. City of North Miami Beach, 227 So.2d 33, 34 (Fla. 1969), wherein the Supreme Court found that it Was not an abuse of discretion for the city council to engage special counsel to defend a law suit ?led against four of the seven members of the city conncil and the city attorney by a defeated candidate'for city councilman. The court held that the challenged appropriation of municipal funds to pay such special counsel must be considered in light of the following facts: a majority of the city council were defendants in the law suit; the plaintiff sought a judicial censtruction of the provisions of the municipal election code and an injunction against the defendants restraining them from performing all their of?cial duties on behalf of the municipality other than legislative action. See also Miller v. Carbonelli, 80'So.2d 909 (Fla. 1955), holding that the town council was authOrized to engage an attorney to defend the mayor in a quo warranto proceeding brought by one councilman against the new mayor elected by the council from their own number challenging both the right of the newly elected mayor to assume of?ce and the action of the council electing him where .?the issue not only immediately and directly affected the proper governance and administration of village affairs but the of?cial action of the?councilmen as electors was challenged." The fact that the supervisor of elections is a member of the county canvassing board does not alter the conclusion set forth above. Section 102.161, requires that the canvaSsing board be made a party defendant, as an entity, to an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to that section. The members of such canvassing board, therefore, are only nominal defendants who are required to be jorned by statute. [It should be noted that the Legislature has recently amended 5. 102.141, F. S, to provide for the replacement of a member of the county canvassing board if such member' rs unable to serve or ?is a candidate who has . opposition in the election being canvassed. or is an active participant in the campaign or candidacy of any candidate who has opposition in the election being canvassed . . 26 of Ch. 77-175, Laws of Florida, effective January 1, 1978. With speci?c regard to the supervisor of elections, 5.26 of Ch. 77-175 provides that if the supervisor of elections is unable to-serve or is disqualified pursuant to the section, then the chairman of the board -of connty commissioners shall appoint a member of the board of county commissioners who is not a candidate with opposition in the election being canvassed, however the supervisor is required to act in an advisory capacity to the canvassing board] Cf State ex rel. Hutchins v. Taylor, 143 So. 754, 757 (Fla. 1932), holding that, in the absence of statutory authorization, a county judge cannot be replaced as a member of the canvassing board because he IS a candidate 1n the election canvassed. The duties imposed upon the county canvassing board "to canvass the returns of . election is ministerial 1n their nature, involving no discretion.? (Emphasis supplied.) State ex rel. Knott v. Haskill, 72 So. 651 (Fla._ 1916): See also State ex rel. Peacock v. Latham, 170 So. 472 (Fla. 1936). Accordingly, a county canvassing board possesses no authority to pass upon the regularity of an election or the qualifications of persons thereat. State v. McLin, l6 Fla. 17 (1876). County canvassers have no power to go beyond theinspectors' returns except to determine their-genuineness, nor may the canvassing board reject returns which are genuine on their face. State ex rel. Bisbee v. Board of Canvas?sers of Alachua County, 17 Fla. 9 (1878). Applying these principles to your inquiry, it is clear that the canvassing board is not authorized to determine whether or not the supervisor of elections unlawfully solicited absentee ballots; such a determination can only be made by the judiciary by means of the election contest. Thus, while the county is authorized to defend the canvassing board as an entity in an election contest (see AGO 068-70), I neither county funds nor funds budgeted in theoffice account of the supervisor of elections may be used to defend the samerw?sor of elections who was the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest predicated on the validity of absentee ballots, which absentee ballots were alleged to have been unlawfully solicited by the supervisor of elections. Your question is accordingly answered 1n the negative. _cc :9 Exhibit 168 Number: AGO 93-48 Date: July 29, 1993 Subject: Inspection of ballots The Honorable Fred Galey Supervisor of Elections Brevard County PostOffice Box 1119 Titusville, Florida 32781?1 119 RE: OF ELECTIONS--i11dividual may take notes du1ing inspection of ballots but may not touch ballots. s. 11907 (1992 Supp.) and 5. 101.5615, F.S. Dea1 Mr. Galey: You ask substantially the following question: Is an individual or group inSpecting ballots pursuant to Ch. 119, F.S., precluded from counting votes for an individual candidate in any precinct or race? In sum: An individual or group is entitled to inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 1 19.07, .S. (1992 Supp.) prohibits any person-other than the supervisor of elections or. his employees from touching the ballots.- The notes or count taken by the individual or group do not constitute a recount of ballots for purposes of the Florida Election Code. According to the information provided to thisof?ce, the Supervisor of Elections of Brevard County has received a request to examine and count certain selected precinct ballots of the 1992 general election. You are concerned that individuals, by counting the ballots during their inspection pursuant to C11. 119, F. S. ,will be conducting a recount of the ballots. Initially, I would note that this Opinion is confined to a conSIde1 at1011 of you1 lesponsibilities under Ch. 119, F. S. ,the Public Recmds Law. Any question a1 ising under the louda Election Code, Chs. 97- 106, F. S. should be addressed to the Division of Elections 1n the Department of State, which 13 authorized to rendel advisory opinions regarding the interpretation of the Election Code. It 13 a general policy of this state that the records of the state and local government shall be Open for inspection by any person. Such a right of access is now recognized in our State Constitution. Pursuant to s. 1 F.S. (1992 Supp.), every person having custody of a public record "shall permit the ?record to be inspected and examined by any person desiring to do so, at any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the public record or his designee." Only 10 those public records which are provided by law to be con?dential or which are prohibited from being inspected by the public, whether by general or special law, are exempt from the disclosure provisions of s. 1 1907(1), F.S. (1992 Supp). 1 am not aware of, nor have you drawn my attention to, any provision of law which makes ballots or ballot stubs con?dential or exempt from disclosure. Section 119.07(1) RS. (1992 Supp), however, provides: "When ballots are produced under this section for inSpection or examination, no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his employees shall touch the ballots. The, supervisor 'of elections shall make a reasonable effort to notify all candidates by telephone or otherwise of the time and place of the inspection or examination. All such candidates, or their representatives, shall be allowed to be present during the inspection or examination." I I I While 5. 1 F.S. (1992 Supp), places restrictions on who may handle the ballots, it does net remove the ballots from the inspection requirement of s. 1 19.07( 1), .S. (1992 Supp). Nor am I aware of any provision restricting full inspection of the ballots other than the restriction contained in section 1 ES. (1992 Supp), that no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his or her employees may touch the ballots. This of?ce has previously stated that a custodian of public records may not impose a rule or condition on inspection which Operates to restrict or circumvent a person's right of access. I I - I You have expressed your concern that individuals making notations or counting ballots during their inspection of such ballots pursuant to s. 1 .S. (1992 Supp), would constitute a recount of such ballots in violation of the Florida Election Code. While questions involving the interpretation of the election cede should be addressed to the Division of Elections,.I would note that 3. 101.5615, F.S., states that recounts and election contests shall be? conducted as provided for intlie election code. I Section. 102.166, F.S., provides for the protest of election returns and the recounting of ballots. Clearly, therefOre, any notations or count made by individuals during their inspection of the ballots or ballot stubs pursuant to s. I 1907(1), F.S. 1992 Supp), would not constitute a recount of the election returns and, thus, could not be used to challenge the results of an election under the Florida Election Code. Icannot, however, conclude that the provisions of the Florida Election Code which requires that a recount of election returns shall be as prescribed in the code imposes a limitation or restriction on the inspection of the ballots under Ch. 1 19, F.S., by prohibiting an individual from taking notes while inspecting such ballots. MoreoVer, an individual requesting access to inspect such records under Chapter 1 19, Florida Statutes, need not show a special interest or legitimate interest in the public record before being allowed to inspect the records. As the court stated in Lorei v. Smith, the legislative objective underlying the creation of chapter 119 was to insure to the people of Florida the right freely to gain access to governmental records. The purpose for such inquiry is immaterial. 11 Nor may an agency refuse to allow inspection on the grounds that the request is overbroad or extensive. The courts have recognized that the breadth of "the right to inspect is virtually unfettered, save for statutory exemptions. If, however, the nature or volume of the records to be inspected is such as to require extensive clerical 01' supervisory assistance, or both, 5. F.S. (1992 Supp), authorizes I . the imposition of a special service charge. Such charge must be reasonable and must be based upon the actual labor cost of the personnel providing the service incurred by the agency. Accordingly, I am of the opinion that an individual or group is entitled to inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 1 19.07, .S. (1992 Supp), however, prohibits any person other: than the supervisor of elections or his employees from touching the ballots. Moreover, the notes or count taken by such individual or" group do not constitute a recount 'of ballots for purposes of the Florida EIeCtion Code. Sincerely, Robert A.

We requested on December 5, 2014 the Broward County Supervisor of Election Canvassing Board Certi?ed Report for the December 4, 2014 Special Primary that include the Broward County Co'mmission, District 2 race the election office did not provide, so I-ve are ?lingelectiOn protest timely without the certi?ed report. In lieu thereof an election contest is a lawsuit which challenges the certi?cation of the outcome of an election. An election contest suit can be brought-by an unsuccessful candidate or any voter or taxpayer. - The suit must be ?led within 10 days after certi?cation of the election. The grounds for contesting an election are: MisCORduct, fraud, or corruption on the part of any election of?cial or any member of the canvassing board suf?cient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. Ineligibility of the successful candidate for the nomination or office in disptite. Receipt of a number of illegal votes or rejection of a number of legal votes suf?cient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. Proof that any elector, election of?cial, or canvassing board member was given or offered a bribe or 1 I 1- reward in money, property, or any other thing of value for the purpose of procuring the successful candidate 5 nomination or election or determining the result on any question submitted by referendum. . . The Florida Public Records Law and Election Code treat ballots as public records subject to public inspectlon and examination upon request. Any member of the public is entitled to inspect any or all of the ballots, however, only an employee of the supervisor of elections can touch the original ballot. 'In Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi gave a legal opinion regarding election challenges she said ?Neither county funds nor funds available in the of?ce budget of the supervisor of elections may be expended to defend a supervisor of electionexpending funds made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest instituted pursuant to s. 102. 161, F. S. Such litigation is personal to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in expending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. The unsuccessful candidate for the office of Broward County Commission District 2 can sue both the success ful candidate in his individual capacity and the county canvassing board". It Was allegedly reported by a witness that she saw Mr. Bogen committing alleged absentee ballot fraud himself when she witnessed him collecting and picking up absentee ballots in the Palm Aires community as an of?cial candidate. We also alleged that Mr. Bogen exceeded Florida?s Campaign Finance Spending Limit Laws in the local election and placed other candidates who were not able to ?nancially compete with his millions of dollars at a' great disadvantage with him originally being a resident of West Palm Beach and not a long time resident of County commission District 2 a part ofa I single member district family. The principles behind single member districts. Single member districts allows voters living and residing within the district to have a voice on the Board of County Commission. In addition, we allege that Mr. Bogen and his paid campaign workers serving under the leadership of a Mr. Walter Hunter committed alleged absentee ballots fraud when Mr. Bogen and members of his team allegedly before and/or during the election ?lled out and completed absentee ballots on behalf of voters. They went throughout the district with a ballot that had only Mr. Bogen?s name solely on the alleged fake absentee ballot that declared him as the only candidate in the District 2 race other campaigns sueh as Carmen Jones and Lisa Aronson allegedly followed suit. These acts or actions violated Florida Statutes 104.31, 104.061, 104.0616, 104.045, 104.047, 104.051, 104.0615, 104.071, and it confused voters even more thus violating collectively the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights of [965 and the Equal Protection Clause. We allege that his act or actions and the failures of the Broward County Supervisor of Elections and Canvassing Board to certify this election properly upon him being reported to Dr, Brenda Snipes regarding his alleged absentee hallotingfraud; helped disenfranchised voters and/or violated other relevant provisions of our election laws. F.S. 100.111 says Special primary elections are called by the Governor if no person has been elected at a general election to fill an office which was required to be ?lled by election at such general election, we do not believe that the election supervisor has that authority to call for a special primary election. We even allege that ?rst during the 2014 August Primary Election Mr. Bogen allegedly paid voters $5.00 dollars to vote for him at the polls and during the December .4, 2014 Special Primary Election as alleged Mr. Bogen he gave voters allegedly rides to the polls and offer them gas cards for their votes. Mr. Bogen as an outsider and new comer to Broward polities received endorsements from numerous elected officials such as a Commissioner Woodrow Poitier and non-profit organizations such as Century Village Democratic Club President and Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church that was designed to help him sway the outcomes of this election in violation of and other related provisions of our election statutes. Therefore, we challenge Mr. Bogen?s legal residency at the time of his qualifying and we make mention again with complete emphasis that Mr. Bogen was not a long time resident of District 2. Florida's qualifying laws required in a single member districts that county's seats and boundaries are 2 I - designated by the laws of the State of Florida. Mr. Bogen?s qualifying paperwork for the District 2 election should not have been accepted by the Supervisor of Elections of?ce because he was not a long time resident at the time of his qualifying. The County Commission shall be composed of nine (9) members elected from a single member districts and by County Charter Commissioners they are elected on a partisan basis and no other charter amendment that we are aware of states otherwise. We also challenge those absentee ballots retums that helped him be declared as the winner of the District 2 race. .8. Chapter 101.62 states that paid staff must receive written authorization by af?davit and that the person turning in absentee ballots can only turn two absentee ballots per election. Chapter 101.62, we believe that due to alleged voters and conSpiracy our election office may be experiencing some alleged violations of our absentee ballot laws. - Again according to the law anyone turning in an absentee ballot-for a voter who is not a family member must ?rst have a written af?davit signed by the voter that gives the person on Mr. Bogen or Walter Hunter?s team as alleged paid staff persons written authorization by af?davit to tum the absentee ballot into the election office on behal t" of the voter, we request those written affidavits from the election department. inode=Displav StatutetitSearch 01 99l0101fSectionsr01tll.62.html The law provides in F.S. Chapter I05 that after each and every election the Supervisor of Elections must prepare his or her report and forward the'election results 'of that report to the Florida State Divisions of Elections after votes cast had been certified. So, I am now requesting a copy of the August 26, 2014 Primary'Election Report that was prepared by the Broward County Supervisor of Elections and forwarded to the Florida State Department Division of Elections for our review. RELIEF That a manual recount of the early voting elections, the August 26, 2014 primary and the December 4, 2014 special primary election take place and all the votes be released during the early voting, August 26, 2014 primary and special election by the election department concerning Broward County Commission District 2 race. That the Supervisor of Elections be instructed or ordered to release the court order that instructed her not to count the votes fretn both the early voting elections and August 26, 2014 primary for the County Commission District 2 race as set Forth by law or its statutory authority to do so. Florida elections are protected by Florida Constitution Article 1 and VI, the Civil Rights Act OF 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the 13th, 14th, 15th Amendment US Constitution and the Equal Protection Clause. "therefore it appears that this 2014 process was tainted by alleged corruption, conspiracy and voter?s fraud and we want to know the election department?s legal authority or constitution right to discard and toss votes out in an election giving Mr. Bogen the advantage. We believe this goes beyond a Supervisor of Elections constitutional or statutory duties and we believe that the election department actions disenfranchised voters in a Florida election by not giving enough information to all of the voters or promoting the special primary election. Mr. Bogen in a low turnout special primary election which was not advertised and some voters never received a reminder notice of a special primary election from the clection?s department which leaves questions as to how Mr. Bogen received well over 2,000 absentee ballots votes in a low turnout election. We ask how and why? We request that another primary election take place without absentee ballots except to those individuals stricken with a several disability who wish to again vote for those quali?ed candidates running in the Broward County Commission District 2 race.

MAY 18 2013 AMENDED CONIPLAINT Enema. 5 ELEM or me Fomm - Baum mow . DOU COURT the Plaintiff Rubin Young Requests Pursuant to FLA. STAT. s. 102.071, 8. 102.141, 5. 102.155, 3. 102.166, 5. 102.168, 3. Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights of 1965 and the Equal Protection Clause. The Plaintiff is challenging byelection protest the December 4, 2014 Special Primary Election declaring Mark Bogen the winner of the Broward County Commission, District 2 race. we requested On December 5, 2014 the Broward County Supervisor of Election Canvassing Board Certi?ed Report for the December 4, 2014 Special Primary that include the Broward I County Commission, District 2 race because the election office did not provide, so the Plaintiff ?le an election protest timely without the preliminary certi?ed report from Broward County. In lieu thereof an election contest is a lawsuit that?s challenges the certi?cation of the outcome of the 2014 early voting and special election. An election contest suit can be brought by an unsuccessful candidate or any voter or taxpayer. The suit must be ?led within 10 days after certification of the election. The grounds for contesting an election are: Misconduct, fraud, or corruption on the part of any election of?cial or any member of the canvassing board suf?cient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. Ineligibility of the successful candidate for the nomination or of?ce in dispute. Receipt of a number of illegal votes or rejection of a number of legal votes suf?cient to change or . place in doubt the result of the election. I I Proof that any elect0r,.election of?cial, or canvassing board member was given or offered a bribe or reward in money, propeity, or any other thing of value for the purpose of procuring the successful candidate?s nomination or election or determining the result on any question submitted by referendum. The Florida Public Records Law and Election Code treat ballots as public records subject to public inspection and examination upon request. Any member of the public is entitled to inspect any or all of the ballots, however, only an employee of the supervisor of elections can touch the original ballot. In Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi gave a legal Opinion regarding election challenges she said ?Neither county funds nor funds available in the office budget of the supervisor of elections may be - . expended to defend a supervisor of election expending funds made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an electioncontest instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. Such litigation is personal to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in expending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. The unsuccessful candidate for the of?ce of Broward County Commission District 2 can sue both the successful candidate in his individual capacity and the county canvassing board". The fundamental purpose of an election contest is to ascertain the true will of the electorate[v]. Moreover, an election contest provides a simple and speedy means of contesting elections. Additibnally, an election contest presupposes a full and fair litigation of election disputes inan expeditious manner[vi]. The remedy provided in an election contest is a statutoly one and equity "cannot be invoked to determine an election?s validity. An eleCtion can be contested only for matters that would impeach the fairness of the result. An election to any public of?ce can be contested on the following grounds[vii]: 2 a When illegal votes have been received; . When legal votes rejected ,at the polls, suf?cient to change the result; 0 Where any error is committed by any board of canvassers in counting the votes or declaring the I result of the election. There is no provision under the common law to contest an election: The right to contest an election exists only under the constitutional and statutory provisions. An election contest is a special statutory proceeding. One who seeks the bene?t of a statutory proceeding must comply with all the procedural terms of the statute Courts cannot exceed the provisions of applicable statutes in resolving election Thus,the-procedure proscribed by a state must be strictly followed in deciding election contests. The judicial determinationof election contests requires strict adherence to the constitutional and statutory provisions in the various jurisdictions[ix]. All candidates have the right to protest the returns of i an election by ?ling a protest with the appropriate canvassing board[x]. In order to contest election results, the petitioner must show that the result of the election will be different in the absence of . irregularities[xi]. I A candidate intending to contest the election of a member of the House of Representatives must ?le a notice of his/her intention to contest the election with the Board OfCanvassers within thirty days after the result of the election. S/he must serve a copy of notice upon the. contestee[xii]. The court or board authorized by statute or the constitution has jurisdiction to hear an election contest. The jurisdictional facts must appear on the face of the proceedings. However, jurisdictional defects can be raised at any A judge who may be affected by the result of the decision is disquali?ed from sitting in the hearing. The proper or necessary parties to election contest proceedings are usually prescribed by each statute I Count I - It was allegedly reported by a witness that she saw Defendant committing alleged absentee ballot fraud himself when she witnessed him collecting and picking up absentee ballots in the Palm Aires community as an of?cial candidate. The Plaintiff also alleged that Defendant exceeded Florida?s 3 180 Campaign Finance Spending Limit Laws in the local election and placed other candidates who were not able to ?nancially compete with his millions of dollars at a great disadvantage with him originally being a resident of West Palm Beach and not along-time resident of Broward County Commission District 2 which is a single member district family and has residency requirements. The principles behind single member districts. Single member districts allow voters living and residing within the district to have a voice on the Board of County Commission-In addition, the Plaintiff alleges-that the defendant Mark Bogen and his campaign paid workers under the leadership of a consultant named Mr. Walter Hunter also committed alleged absentee balloting fraud, when the Defendant and his paid staffers or his team allegedly before and/or during the 2014 election ?lled out and completed absentee ballots for or on behalf 'of voters who were not family members in violation of Fla. Stat.101.62(4) or the statute entirety.- They went throughout the district with a ballot that had only Defendant?s name solely on the alleged fake absentee ballot that declared him as the only candidate in the District 2 race other campaigns such as Carmen Jones and Lisa Aronson allegedly followed suit. These acts or actions violated Florida Statutes s. 104.31, s. 104.061, 3. 104.0616, 5. 104.045, 3. s. I 104.047, 3. 104.051, 5. 104.0615, and s. 104.071, and confused voters even more thus violating . collectively the Civil Rights ?Act of 1964, the Voting-Rights of 1965 and the Equal Protection Clause. Count 11 I - - We alleged that his act or actions and the failures of the Broward County Supervisor of Elections and Canvassing Board-to correctly certify in 2014 the election as reported by Dr. Brenda Snipes and Canvassing-Board regarding report that Defendant and his campaign allegedly --committed absentee balloting fraud; misconduct, fraud, ineligibility and corrupt practices that helped disenfranchised voters and violated Other relevant provisions of Florida election laws. See Fla. 'Stat. s. 100.111. The law says Special primary elections are called by the Governor if no-personlhas been elected at a general election to ?ll an elected office which was required to be filled by election at such general election, which we do not believe that the election superviSor has that. authority to call for a special-primary election. We also alleged that during the August 2014 primary elections Defendant allegedly paid voters $51.00 dollars 4 . . FL-BROWARD-1 9-0523-A-001 181 allegedly in Pompano Beach, FL to. vote for him at the voting precincts during the December 4, 2014 special primary elections. Count 111 It is alleged that. Defendant gave voters rides to the polls and offered themgas cards or other bribes for their votes. Defendant as 'an outsider and new comer to Broward politics received endorsements from numerous elected officials such as a Commissioner Woodrow Poitier-and non-profit organizations such as Century Village Democratic Club President and Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church that was designed to helphim sway the outcomes of this election in violation of Fla. Stat. s. 104.31 and other related provisions of our election statutes. Count IV The Plaintiff allegedly challenge Defendant?slegal residency at the time of regiStering for the 2014 elections. It is alleged that Defendant was not eligible to seek an elected office in Broward County I Commission District 2 race because he was not a resident who met all of the residency requirements. Florida's qualifying laws requires any personin a single member districts for an elected office to be a? resident which boundaries are designated by the laws of the State of Florida. Mr.Bogen?s qualifying paperwork for the District 2 election should not have been accepted by the Supervisor of Elections of?ce i I because he was not a long time resident at the time of his qualifying. The County Commission is composed of nine (9) members elected from single a member districts and according to Broward County Home Rule Charter Commissioners are elected on a partisan basis and no other charter amendment shall state otherwise. The Plaintiff. challenges in addition all absentee ballots castedand all-ballots erroneously declaring Defendant the winner of the Broward County Commission District 2 race. See Fla Stat. s. 101.62. The Florida law states that paid staff must receive written. authorizatiOn by af?davit and that the person turning in absentee ballots can only turn two absentee ballots per election. See Fla. Stat. s. 101.62. Fla. Stat. s. 101.62 182 a. By delivery to a designee on election day or up to 5 days prior to the day of an electionsAny elector may designate in writing a person to pick up the ballot for the elector; however, the person designated may not pick up more than two absentee ballots per election, other than the-designee?s own ballot, except that additional ballots may-be picked up for members of the designee?s immediate family. For purposes of this section, ?immediate family?f means the designee?s Spouse or the parent, child, grandparent, or sibling of the designee or of the designee?s Spouse. The designee shall provide to the supervisor the written authorization by the electorand a picture identi?cation of the designee and must complete an af?davit. The designee shall state in the affidavit that the designee is authorized by the elector to pick up that ballot and shall-indicate if the elector' is a member of the designee?s immediate family and, if so, the relationship. The department shall prescribe the form of the af?davit. If the supervisor is satis?ed that the designee is authorized topick up the ballot and that the signature of the elector on the written authorization matches the signature of the elector on ?le, the supeivisor shall give the ballot to that designee for delivery to the elector. I Count The Plaintiff Rubin Young alleges the Defendant Mark Bogen may have also committed alleged voters and/or a Conspiracy to commit alleged voter?s fraud during the 20 14 primary and special elections. According to Florida law anyone staffer who turns in an absentee ballot for a voter'and the person is not an immediate family member ?must? ?rst have a written af?davit signed by the voter giving the paid staffer, Defendant and/or Walter Hunter?s team leader written authorization again by af?davit in order to turn and sign-in their absentee ballot with the Broward County Supervisor: of Elections of?ce on behalf of the voter. The Plaintiff requests that the county election provide copies of all absentee ballots, af?davits and election of?ce?s of?cial sign-in for the August 2014-early voting, primary and special primary elections under rules Of disclosure. See Fla. Stat. s. 101.62 I mode=Di3plav Statute&Search String=&UR - The law. provides in Fla. Stat. Chapter 105 that after each and everyelection the Supervisor of Elections must prepare his?or her report and forward the election results of that report to the Florida State Divisions of Elections and Election Canvassing commission after votes casted had been certi?ed by canvassing board. The Plaintiff Rubin Young is also requesting a copy of-the August'26, 2014. Primary Election Certi?cation Preliminary Report from BroWard County Supervisor of Elections and Florida Election- Canvassing Commission assigned by the Florida State Department Division of Elections to be received . by the Plaintiff. The allegations are based upon alleged misconduct, fraud, corrupt election practices and ineligibility whereas the statutory election contest meets those guidelines within the entire Fla. Stats. 102.168 as well as also identifying that Mark Bogen was not ineligible in 2014 because he was a Palm Beach County residence and business owner when he allowed by the Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes to register without verifying residency the Broward County Board of Commissioners District 2 race because again the Defendant lived in Palm Beach County and not Broward County, FL, where he pay taxes for years to Palm Beach County without equitable bene?ts to the District 2 single member residents. See October 03, 2013 article by Media Tracker reporter Tom Lauder who writes Broward County Commission Candidate Mark Bogen Plays Residency Games. According to the article it said ?Bogen, a Democrat, appears to live in the village of Wellington in Palm?Beach County. WhenBogen filed campaign documents on September 18, be listed a Margate post of?ce box as his of?cial address. However, Palm Beach County Property Appraiser records show Bogen and his family currently reside in a palatial 5,732-sq. ft. home in Wellington, Florida. The same property records show Bogen claims a full homestead tax exemption on his home at 12295 Equine Lane.? In addition, according to the Plaintiff?s investigation in 2014 Defendant property records showed his homestead or mortgage in 2014 was in Palm Beach County and not Broward County, FL. He also owned and rana business in Palm Beach County as well as there Were a great number of his campaign contributors giving him contributions in amounts of $1000.00 dollars where a lot of the contributors lived in Palm Beach County, FL and elsewhere who had no common interests and Who did not know the voter?s issues-within the single member district. iTh-e Plaintiff Rubin Young alleges that this give the appearances of 1. misconduct 2. f1 and 3. co1ruption and/or 4 possible ineligibility on behalf of the Defendant. See Ma1k Bogen? 2013 and 2014 campaign co11t11but1011 lists. See Exhibit A. That the ciicuit c0111t according to Fla. Stat 102.168 (4), (5), (6) and (7) should orde1 all ea11y voting elections ballots and all of the August 26, 20141314111513? elections ballots and all of the December 4, 2014 special primary elections ballots to his chambers for manual inspection in order to determine the . true will ofthe voters based on Florida Statute s. 102.168 (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) in determining allegedly 1. misconduct, 2. fraud, 3. Ineligibility and 4. Corrupt election practiCes that may have taken place during early voting and during the August .26, 2014 primaly election and/or the special elections held December 4, 2014 for the Broward County Commission District 2 race. The court should also order the Supervisor of Elections to release to the court any and all of?cial records'as provided in a statutory election contest requirement connected to the 2.014 early voting as well as all primary and special elections ballots which the court may ?nd the Defendant Dr..Brenda Snipes allegedly was not in compliance of Fla. Stat. s. 101.157, 3. 102 168, s. 102.171, 5 102.121, and s. 102 141 dining 1161 supervising the Broward County Board of Commission, Distlict 2 1ace or law as set forth and enacted by the Florida Legislature and/01 by general law who statutory authorities are given to circuit courts overseeing'statutory election contests or election challenges. Florida elections are protected by the Florida Constitution Article I, 111, VIIand the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 1981 and 1983, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendment US. Constitution and the Equal Protection Clause. - 'The Plaintiff believes that the Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes and Mark Bogen actions may have impacted early voting, the August 26, 2014 primary elections ovetwhelmingly and/or the special election 8. I FL-BROWARD-1940523-A-001185 in the worsts ways. The Plaintiff Rubin Young believes that the 2014 special elections should be overturned and the Defendant Mark Bogen be removed as the declared winner and/or from his current Broivard. County Commissioner?s seat based on elements in 2014 that he committed alleged I. Misconduct, 2. Fraud, 3. Ineligibility and 4. Engaged in corrupt election practices; The Plaintiff believes that should be done by court order and the same court order should demand. a new election .take place in. order to correct the wrong in 2014 and/or that all past 2014 special election candidates for Broward County Commission District 2 if they are still available pursue the vacancy or draw straws to determine winner and/or the cou1t or voters determine which of the remaining 2014 Special election candidateswill serve the. remainder of the Defendant Mark Bogen term in of?ce until the next'regularly scheduled election or upon determinatibn by the court or voters seek re-election for the county office, since the 2014 special election process was allegedly tainted by 1. misconduct, 2. fraud, 3. and 4. corrupt election practices," adding degrees of absentee balloting fraud, conspiracies? to commit absentee balloting or election fraud. The Plaintiff Rubin Young requested discovery from the Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes to no avail and the Plaintiff ask the court to order that the Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes turn over the documents requested in the discovery requests that included knowing what statutes gave a supervisor of elections the authorizing authority to reject orsuppress a great number of. votes in the August 26, 2014 primary elections or the statute that permitted the Defendant to reject or suppress a great number of votes without local authority from a canvassing board and/or that statute which permitted the Defendant Dr. BrendaSnipes to reject or suppress votes that may have been casted in favor of other 2014 primary or -- special election candidates. The Plaintiff believes that the Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes alleged actions appeared-to have had given the Defendant Mark Bogen the competitive advantage over those candidates in the December 4, 2014 primary and special elections. The Plaintiff Rubin Young believes that the Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes abused or over extended her authority by law in rejecting or suppressing votes casted in 2014 primary and special election without the proper authorization of Florida Governor Rick Scott who is the only person with authority to approved alrequest for special elections. See Fla. Stat. s. 100.111 which the Defendant Dr. 9 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-OO1186 Brenda Snipes alleged violation of Fla. Stat. s. 100.1 1 1 rejected and suppressed a great number voter that caused the Defendant Mark Bogen who was a Palm Beach County resident to win over residents of the single member district. I Count VI The Plaintiff alleges that during a very low turnout involving a special primary election that was promoted or advertised by the local election supervisor or voters having received reminder notices the Defendant received well 'over 2000 absentee ballots in a low turnout election which the ballots were delivered by paid staff unlawfully without signed af?davits by a participating voting member. . RELIEF Wherefore, the Plaintiff Rubin Young requests that another special primary election take place without absentee ballots except given to those individuals stricken by disability or limitations and without the'presence of the Defendant Mark Bogen due to his participation into alleged 1. Misconduct, 2. Fraud, 3. Ineligibility and 4. Corrupt election practices. The Plaintiff Rubin Young requests a hearing pursuant to Fla. Stat. s. 102.168 (1), (2), (3), (4), (S), (6), (7), and (8) according to the statutory election contest requirements and that the Defendant Dr. Brenda Snipes be court ordered to transport and turnover all of the 2014 early voting, primary and special eleCtion ballots for the Broward County Commission, District I 2 primary and special elections in questions outside the authority of Governor Rick Scott to the judge?s chambers for inspection and/or examination as required by Fla.

Sincerely, Rubin Young On Monday, May 14, 2018 05:12:50 PM, Rubin Young wrote: I ICE Immigration Crackdown WASHINGTON (AP) — Immigration officials have sharply increased audits of companies to verify that their employees are authorized to work in the country, signaling the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration is reaching deeper into the workplace to create a "culture of compliance" among employers who rely on immigrant labor. Expansive plans also have been drafted for a long-term push to scrutinize employers' hiring practices more closely. Under a 1986 federal law, companies must verify their employees are authorized to work in the United States by reviewing their documents and verifying to the government the employees' identity and work authorization. If employers are found to hire someone without proper documents, the employers may be subject to administrative fines and, in some cases, criminal prosecution. The recent focus on employers comes after a surge of deportation arrests of workers that started immediately after Trump took office in January 2017. The crackdown is likely to please immigration hawks among Trump's supporters but may alienate industries and companies that rely on immigrant labor. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001196 There were 2,282 employer audits opened between Oct. 1 and May 4, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday, nearly a 60 percent jump from the 1,360 audits opened between October 2016 and September 2017. Many of those reviews were launched following the January ICE audits and employee interviews at about 100 7-Eleven franchises in 17 states. There were 594 employers arrested on criminal immigration charges from Oct. 1 to May 4, up from 139 during the previous fiscal year, and 610 civil immigration charges during the same period, compared to 172 in the preceding 12-months. Derek Benner, head of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, told The Associated Press that another nationwide wave of audits planned this summer would push the total "well over" 5,000 by Sept 30. ICE audits peaked at 3,127 in 2013. The agency has developed a plan to open as many as 15,000 audits a year, subject to funding and support for the plan from other areas of the administration, Benner said. The proposal calls for creation of an Employer Compliance Inspection Center to perform employer audits at a single location instead of at regional offices around the country, Benner said. Electronically scanning the documents will help flag suspicious activity, and the most egregious cases will be farmed out to regional offices for more investigation. Audit notices will be served electronically or by certified mail, instead of in person. Benner said that putting up to 250 auditors in one center with the right technology and a team of attorneys to quickly levy fines would enable his agency to audit between 10,000 and 15,000 companies annually. The proposal aims to create a "reasonable expectation" among employers that they will be audited, Benner said. "This is kind of our vision of creating this culture of compliance," he said. "I think it's a game-changer." In October, Thomas Homan, ICE's acting director, pledged to increase workplace enforcement by "four or five times," opening a new front in an immigration crackdown that includes a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and initial funding for a border wall with Mexico. In April, ICE agents made 97 arrests at a meatpacking plant in rural Tennessee with a helicopter flying above, reminiscent of the high-profile shows of force that were common during President George W. Bush's administration. Benner said the agency will focus both on criminal cases against employers as well deporting employees who in the country illegally. Illegal hiring creates unfair advantages for companies, encourages people to come to the U.S. illegally, results in document and identity fraud and exposes workers to potentially dangerous conditions without overtime pay or health insurance, he said. It remains to be seen whether immigration authorities can perform enough audits to compel a similar degree of compliance that the Internal Revenue Service does on personal and corporate tax returns. One measure may be the number of employees who voluntarily enroll in the federal government's EVerify system to electronically confirm if a person is authorized to work in the U.S. Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

If you think not because it sound foreign then may be the country can work together on issues dividing us such as illegal immigrants & violations of PL 88452, 92424, 93644 & 95568. They are known as the Economic Opportunity Acts and Amendments and the Community Service Act of 1974 which are the supreme laws of the land sir. If we can do anything on the ground please let us know. We'll even use the organization or natural born people to become bounty hunters and track down those illegal immigrants and/or non citizens serving in elected offices and public administrations. Individuals who may be passing laws supporting a different agency and creating an environment for the purposes of overthrowing America or (Trumpica) in the future. Keep up the good work sir, we know they are trying to turn the country against you like they did Richard Nixon in order to impeach you. There are a lot of bad people who have gotten hold of our governments foreigners and others and they are not letting go without a serious attempt from us to stop the take over sir within America. They are stealing America with election fraud for example Miami Dade County and the City of Miami, have what is known as 14 days voting or early voting for various elected positions. There is no Florida election laws that grant this power of a 14 days election or early voting, yet foreign born citizens use this election method to give the advantage of primary and/or general elections to well financed candidates. This is a condition of involuntary servitude in violation of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Nonetheless, you can't complain about it because foreigners or illegal immigrants run all governments which make you feel you're living in concentration camps or prison as a native and natural born black American or others. ICE must investigate and verify the people who are working in all county and city governments because immigration laws in order to work for federal, state and local governments you must be a United States citizen and that doesn't appear to be the case here in Miami Dade County, Florida, sir. There is no justice in our courts because foreigners have taken over almost all the circuit and court judges position and foreign lawyers make up evidence to people natural born citizens in prison, like the invasion of the body snatchers. We need to know if these foreign citizens serving in elected officials are in fact Americans, if not sir they should be removed from our governments immediately and deported for breaking immigration law. Sir, we request that the ICE investigation include the following, Miami Dade County Mayors and staff, City Mayors and staff, Circuit and County Court judges and staff, State Representatives and staff, State Senators and staff, School Superintendents, Board Members and staff, Democratic Party and Republican Party Chairpersons and staff, County and City Commissioners and staff, County and City Managers and staff, County and City Clerks and staff, City Council members and staff and/or alike, let's make America great again together sir and let American hand do the construction here at home and no one else who will claim that America was built by foreign laborers. We thank you for your time and for your service to our country sir and thank you for listening Mr. President, I know your hands are tied and you can't focus on these issues. If you have any questions or wish that we appear before any hearings to testify whether or not natural born Americans citizens are being abused by foreigners in local government or placed in mental or psychological prisons we stand ready and available, please let us know sir.

Expansive plans also have been drafted for a long-term push to scrutinize employers' hiring practices more closely. Under a 1986 federal law, companies must verify their employees are authorized to work in the United States by reviewing their documents and verifying to the government the employees' identity and work authorization. If employers are found to hire someone without proper documents, the employers may be subject to administrative fines and, in some cases, criminal prosecution. The recent focus on employers comes after a surge of deportation arrests of workers that started immediately after Trump took office in January 2017. The crackdown is likely to please immigration hawks among Trump's supporters but may alienate industries and companies that rely on immigrant labor. There were 2,282 employer audits opened between Oct. 1 and May 4, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday, nearly a 60 percent jump from the 1,360 audits opened between October 2016 and September 2017. Many of those reviews were launched following the January ICE audits and employee interviews at about 100 7-Eleven franchises in 17 states. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001202 There were 594 employers arrested on criminal immigration charges from Oct. 1 to May 4, up from 139 during the previous fiscal year, and 610 civil immigration charges during the same period, compared to 172 in the preceding 12-months. Derek Benner, head of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, told The Associated Press that another nationwide wave of audits planned this summer would push the total "well over" 5,000 by Sept 30. ICE audits peaked at 3,127 in 2013. The agency has developed a plan to open as many as 15,000 audits a year, subject to funding and support for the plan from other areas of the administration, Benner said. The proposal calls for creation of an Employer Compliance Inspection Center to perform employer audits at a single location instead of at regional offices around the country, Benner said. Electronically scanning the documents will help flag suspicious activity, and the most egregious cases will be farmed out to regional offices for more investigation. Audit notices will be served electronically or by certified mail, instead of in person. Benner said that putting up to 250 auditors in one center with the right technology and a team of attorneys to quickly levy fines would enable his agency to audit between 10,000 and 15,000 companies annually. The proposal aims to create a "reasonable expectation" among employers that they will be audited, Benner said. "This is kind of our vision of creating this culture of compliance," he said. "I think it's a game-changer." In October, Thomas Homan, ICE's acting director, pledged to increase workplace enforcement by "four or five times," opening a new front in an immigration crackdown that includes a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and initial funding for a border wall with Mexico. In April, ICE agents made 97 arrests at a meatpacking plant in rural Tennessee with a helicopter flying above, reminiscent of the high-profile shows of force that were common during President George W. Bush's administration. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001203 Benner said the agency will focus both on criminal cases against employers as well deporting employees who in the country illegally. Illegal hiring creates unfair advantages for companies, encourages people to come to the U.S. illegally, results in document and identity fraud and exposes workers to potentially dangerous conditions without overtime pay or health insurance, he said. It remains to be seen whether immigration authorities can perform enough audits to compel a similar degree of compliance that the Internal Revenue Service does on personal and corporate tax returns. One measure may be the number of employees who voluntarily enroll in the federal government's E-Verify system to electronically confirm if a person is authorized to work in the U.S. Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

They are stealing America with election fraud for example Miami Dade County and the City of Miami, have what is known as 14 days voting or early voting for various elected positions. There is no Florida election laws that grant this power of a 14 days election or early voting, yet foreign born citizens use this election method to give the advantage of primary and/or general elections to well financed candidates.

Nonetheless, you can't complain about it because foreigners or illegal immigrants run all governments which make you feel you're living in concentration camps or prison as a native and natural born black American or others. ICE must investigate and verify the people who are working in all county and city governments because immigration laws in order to work for federal, state and local governments you must be a United States citizen and that doesn't appear to be the case here in Miami Dade County, Florida, sir. There is no justice in our courts because foreigners have taken over almost all the circuit and court judges position and foreign lawyers make up evidence to people natural born citizens in prison, like the invasion of the body snatchers. We need to know if these foreign citizens serving in elected officials are in fact Americans, if not sir they should be removed from our governments immediately and deported for breaking immigration law. Sir, we request that the ICE investigation include the following, Miami Dade County Mayors and staff, City Mayors and staff, Circuit and County Court judges and staff, State Representatives and staff, State Senators and staff, School Superintendents, Board Members and staff, Democratic Party and Republican Party Chairpersons and staff, County and City Commissioners and staff, County and City Managers and staff, County and City Clerks and staff, City Council members and staff and/or alike, let's make America great again together sir and let American hand do the construction here at home and no one else who will claim that America was built by foreign laborers.

The court?s review of such issue shall be to determine only if the canvassing board abused its discretion in making-its decision. An election is the process of choosing a person to ?ll an of?ce. An election contest is a right of action conferred on every candidate to contest the certification of nomination or the certi?cate of vote as made by the appropriate of?cials in any election[i]. It is a post-election contest between two competing Fraud, corruption, or irregularities in regard to the method of holding an election in a division can affect the entire vote. Thus, an election contest is a special proceeding 4 . created by the legislature to provide a remedy for elections tainted by fraud, illegality, or other irregularity?ii]. - Generally, there are two types of election contests[iv]: 0 Motion seeking to oust and replace the certi?ed winner; and . Motion seeking to declare an election void altogether. The iundamental purpose of an election contest is to ascertain the true will of the electorate[v]. Moreover, an electibn contest provides a simple and speedy means of contesting elections. Additionally, an election contest presupposes a full and fair litigation of election disputes in an expeditious manner[vi]. The remedy provided in an election contest is a statutory one and equity cannot be invoked to determine an election?s validity. Arr election can be contested only for matters that would impeach the fairness of the result. Anelection to any public of?ce can be contested on the following grounds[vii]: . When illegal votes have been received; . 0 When legal votes rejected at the polls, sufficient to change the result; 0 Where any error is committed by any board of canvassers in counting the votes or declaring the result of the election. I There is no provision under the common law to contest an election. The right to contest an election exists only under the constitutional and statutory provisions. An election contest is a special statutory proceeding. One who seeks the benefit of a statutory proceeding must comply with all the procedural terms of the statute. Courts cannot exceed the provisions of applicable statutes in resolving election Thus, the procedure proscribed by a state must be strictly followed in deciding election contests. The judicial determination of election contests requires strict adherence to the constitutional and statutory provisions in the variousjurisdictions?x].

See Exhibit A and . 6" .93 Exhibit A Date: August 23, 1977 Subject: Elections, contested elections and legal costs ELECTIONS-SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE MAY NOT USE PUBLIC FUNDS TO DEFEND CONTESTED ELECTION RESULT To: Willie Mae Jones, Gilchrist County Supervisor of Elections, Trenton Prepared by: Patricia R. Gleason, Assistant Attorney General QUESTION: May county funds or funds available in the of?ce budget of the supervisor of elections be expended 'to'provide a defense for a supervisor of elections who has-been inade a party defendant in an election contest in his or her individual capacity as the successful candidate or nominee and where the county canvassing board of which such supervisor is a member is a party defendant as required by s. SUMMARY: . Neither county funds nor funds available in the of?ce budget of the supervisor of elections may be expended to defend a supervisor of elections who has been made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. Such litigation is personal - to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in expending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. According to your letter, you were made a party defendant in an election contest proceeding instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. That section provides' 1n pertinent part: I?The certi?cation of election ,or nomination of any person to of?ce may be contested in the circuit court . . . by any unsuccessful candidate for such office. "The successful candidate and the canvassing board or election board shall be the pi aperparly defendants. (Emphasis supplied.) An examination of the complaint ?led by the unsuccessful candidate for nomination to the of?ce of supervisor of elections, a COpy of which you have attached to your letter, reveals that you were made a party defendant in your individual capacity as the successful candidate for nomination to the office of supervisor of elections and that the county canvassing board was also made a party defendant as required by the terms of s. 102.161, F. 8., above quoted. The complaint further reveals that no charges are made against or relief sought from the defendant canvassing board with respect to any act 011 the part of such board in carrying out its statutorily assigned duties and functions. (See 35. 101.68, 102.141, 102.151, and 102.166, F. S., as to the duties and functions of the county canvassing board.) To the contrary, the complaint alleges that the supervisor of elections unlawfully solicited the casting of absentee ballots. Thus, the complaint prays that "the returns from the absentee ballots in said election be rejected? and that the unsuccessful candidate be "declar ed the rightful winner of said election. i The foregoing analysis of the allegations contained in the complaint makes clear that the action is simply an election contest predicated upon the validity of certain absentee votes and challenging the right of the successful candidate or nominee to hold the of?ce to which 'she was elected. The question of whether or not public funds may prOperly be expended to provide a legal defense for the successful candidate?in such an election contest proceeding has been recently considered by the court in Markham v. State by and Through the Department of Revenue, 298 So.2d 210 (1 D.C.A. Fla., 1974). The Markham case involved an election contest challenging the action of the Broward County Canvassing Board in canvassing and counting certain absentee ballots. The unsuccessful candidate for the office of Broward County Tax IAssessor sued both the successful candidate in his individual capacity and the county canvassing board. The question under consideration by the court-was whether or not the successful candidate for the of?ce of I tax assessor could use funds available in his of?ce budget for legal expenses to pay attorneys he had retained to defend him in the election contest. In ruling that such an expenditure would be improper, the court held: "The suit giving rise to the incurring of the attorney's fees was not against the [tax assessor] in his of?cial capacity nor did it arise from a discharge of his of?cial duties nor serve a public purpose. The suit was a pure and simple election contest relating to the validity of certain absentee. votes. The questioned absentee votes were suf?cient in number to affect the result of the election. Under the law Of Florida as FL-BRQWARD-19-0523-AL001213 announced in cases too numerous to cite, had the contestant been successful in his attack upon the votes the appellant would have ceased to be tax assessor and his opponent would have taken of?ce. The office, functions and duties of tax assessm would not have been 111 any manne1 alte1edThe1e would simply have been another man ?lling the position. The legal battle between the political contestants was purely personal. Each wanted to be tax assessor ofB1owa1d County and the challenged absentee votes furnished the key to the door." [298 So.2d at 212.] Accord: Peck v. Spence-1,7 So. 642, 644 (Fla. 1890) (town council was without authority to authorize the acting mayor to defend at the town?s expense a suit which had been ?led against the acting mayor by a defeated candidate to test the validity of the town election); Williams v. City of 'Miami 42 So. 2d 582 (Fla. 1949) (city had no 111te1 est in defending a suit arising out ofa recall election); AGO's 071- 185 and 071?.276 Applying the foregoing cases and Attorney General Opinions to your inquiry, it is my opinion that the expenditure of public funds, either from your of?ce income or budgeted funds or county funds, to defend you in your capacity as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S., would be'improper. To the extent that the lawsuit represents a "legal battle" between an unsuccessful and a successful candidate or nominee to determine who is entitled to the office of Supervisor of elections, it would appear that the outcome of such litigation is dependent upon the validity of the absentee ballots cast and is, therefore, personal to the candidates involved. Furthermore, no additional factors which would indicate sufficient public interest in the outcome of the election contest are made apparent from the face of the complaint. Compare Estes v. City of North Miami Beach, 227 So.2d 33, 34 (Fla. 1969), wherein the Supreme Court found that it was not an abuse of discretion for the city council to engage special counsel to defend a law suit filed against four of the seven members of the city council and the city attorney by a defeated candidate ?for city councilman. The court held that the challenged apprOpriation of municipal funds to pay such special counsel must be considered in light of the following facts: a majority of the city council were defendants in the law suit; the plaintiff sought a judicial construction of the p1ovisions of the municipal election code and an injunction against the defendants 1est1aining them f1 om pe1fo1m1ng all their official duties on behalf of the municipality othe1 than legislative action. See also Mille1 v. Ca1bonelli, 80 So.2d 909 (Fla. 1955), holding that the town council was authorized to engage an attorney to defend the mayor in a quo warraiito proceeding brought by one councilman against the new mayor elected by the council from their own number challenging both the right of the newly elected mayor to assume office and the action of the council electing him where .?the issue not only immediately and directly affected the proper governance and administration of village affairs but the official action of the councilmen as electors was challenged." The fact that the supervisor of elections is a member of the county canvassing board does not alter the conclusion set forth above. Section 102.161, supra, requires that the canvaSsing board be made a party defendant, as an entity, to an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to that section. The members of such canvassing board, therefore, are only nominal defendants who are required to be joined by statute. [It should be noted that theLegislature has recently amended 3. 102.141, F. S., to provide for the replacement of a member of the county canvassing board if such member is unable to serve or "is a candidate who has . opposition in the election being canvassed. or is an active participant in the campaign or candidacy of any candidate who has opposition in the election being canvassed . . 26 of C11. 77-175, Laws of Florida, effective January 1, 1978. With specific regard to the supervisor of elections, 3. 26 of Ch. 77-175 provides that if the supervisor of elections is unable toiserve or is disqualified pursuant to the section, then the chairman of the board of county commissioners shall appoint a member of the board or county commissioners?who is not a candidate with opposition in the election be'ing?canvassed; however, the supervisor is required to act in an advisory capacity to the canvassing board] Cf. State ex ref. Hutchins v. Taylor, 143 So. 754, 757 (Fla. 1932), holding that, in the absence of statutory authorization, a countyjudge cannot be replaced as a member of the canvassing board because he is a candidate in the election canvassed. The'duties imposed upon the county canvassing board "to canvass the returns of a[n] . . . election is ministerial in their nature, involving no discretion.? (Emphasis supplied.) State ex rel. Knott v. Haskill, 72 So. 651 (Fla._ 1916), See also State ex rel. Peacock v. Latham, 170 So. 472 (Fla. 1936). Accordingly, a county canvassing board possesses no authority to pass upon the regularity of an election or the quali?cations of persons thereat. State v. McLin, l6 Fla. 17 (1876). County canvassers have no power to go beyond the?inspectors? returns except to determine their'genuineness, nor may the canvassing board reject returns which are genuine on their face. State ex rel. Bisbee v. Board of Canvas'sers of Alachua County, 17 Fla. 9 (1878). Applying these principles to your inquiry, it is clear that the canvassing beard is not authorized to determine whether or not the supervisor of elections unlawfully solicited absentee ballots; such a determination can only be made by the judiciary by means of the election contest. Thus, while the county is authorized to defend the canvassing board as an entity in an election contest (see AGO 068-70), I neither county funds nor funds budgeted in the office account of the supervisor of elections may be used to defend the supervisor of elections who was the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest predicated on the validity of absentee ballots, which absentee ballots were alleged to have been unlawfully solicited by the supervisor of elections.Your question is accordingly answered in the negative. as Exhibit . Number: AGO 93-48 Date: July 29, 1993 Subject: Inspection of ballots The Honorable Fred Galey Supervisor of Elections Brevard County PostOf?ce Box 1119 Titusville, Florida 32781-1119 RE: OF ELECTIONS--individual may take notes during inSpection of ballots but may not touch ballots. s. 119.07 (1992 Supp.) and s. 101.5615, F.S. Dear Mr. Galey: You ask substantially the following question: Is an individual or group inspecting ballots pursuant to Ch. 1 l9, F.S., precluded from counting votes for an individual candidate in any precinct or race? In sum: An individual or group is entitled to inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 1 19.07, F.S. 1992 Supp.) prohibits any person other than the supervisor of elections or his employees from touching the ballots.- The notes or count taken by the individual or group do not constitute a recount of ballots for purposes of the Florida Election Code. I According to the information provided to thisof?ce, the Supervisor of Elections of Brevard County has received a request to examine and count certain selected precinct ballots of the 1992 general election. You are concerned that individuals, by counting the ballots during their inSpection pursuant to Ch. 1 19, F.S., will be conducting a recount of the ballots. Initially, I would note that this opinion is con?ned to a consideration of your responsibilities under Ch. 119, F.S., the Public Records Law. Any question arising under the Florida Election Code, Chs. 97-106, .S., should be addressed to the Division of Elections in the Department of State, which is authorized to render advisory opinions regarding the interpretation of the Election Code. i I It is a general policy of this state that the records of the state and local government shall be open for inspection by any person. Such a right of access is now recognized in our State Constitution. Pursuant to s. .S. (1992 Supp), every person having custody of a public record "shall permit the record to be inspected and examined by any person desiring to do so, at any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the public record or his designee." Only 10 those public records which are provided by law to be con?dential or which are prohibited from being inspected by the public, whether by general or special law, are exempt from the disclosure provisions of s. 1 19.070), F.S. (1992 Supp). 1 am not aware of, nor have you drawn my attention to, any provision of law which makes ballots or ballot stubs con?dential or exempt from disclosure. Section 119.070) F.S. (1992 Supp), however, provides: "When ballots are produced under this section for inspection or examination, no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his employees shall touch the ballots. The supervisor 'of elections shall make a reasonable effort to notify all candidates by telephone or otherwise of the time and place of the inspection or examination. All such candidates, or their representatives, shall be allowed to be present during the inSpection or examination." I I While 5. F.S. (1992 Supp), places restrictions on who may handle the ballots, it does net remove the ballots from the inspection requirement of s. 119.070), F.S. (1992 Supp). Nor am I aware of any provision restricting full inspection of the ballots other than the restriction contained in section 1 F.S. (1992 Supp), that no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his or her employees may tou'ch the ballots. This office has previously stated that a custodian of public records may not impose a rule or condition on inspection which operates to restrict or circumvent a person's right of access. I I I I You have expressed your concern that individuals making notations or counting ballots during their inspection of such ballots pursuant to s. .S. (1992 Supp), would constitute a recount of such ballots in violation of the Florida Election Code. While questions involving the interpretation of the election cede should be addressed to the Division of Elections,.1 would note that 3. 101.5615, F.S., states that recounts and election contests shall be? conducted as provided for in the election code. - Section.102.166, F.S., provides for the protest of election returns and the recounting of ballots. Clearly, therefOre, any notations or count made by individuals during their inspection of the ballots or ballot stubs pursuant to s. 119.070), F.S. (1992 Supp), would not constitute a recount of the election returns and, thus, could not be used to challenge the results of an election under the Florida Election Code, _1_cann_ot, however, conclude that the provisions of the Florida Election Code which requires that a recount of election returns shall be as prescribed in the code imposes a limitation or restriction on the inspection of the ballots under 1 19, F.S., by prohibiting an individual from taking notes while inspecting such ballots. Moreover, an individual requesting access to inSpect such records under Chapter 1 19, Florida Statutes, need not show a special interest or legitimate interest in the public record before being allowed to inspect the records. As the court stated in Lorei v. Smith, the legislative objective underlying the creation of chapter 119 was to insure to the people of Florida the right freely to gain access to governmental records. The purpose for such inquiry is immaterial. 11 Nor may an agency refuse to allow inspection on the grounds that the request is overbroad or extensive. The courts have recognized that the breadth of the right to inspect is virtually unfettered, save for statutory exemptions. If, however, the nature or volume of the records to be inSpected is such as to require extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, 3. .S. (1992 Supp.), authorizes . the imposition of a special service charge. Such charge must be- reasonable and must be based upon the actual labor cost of the personnel providing the service incurred by the agency. . Accordingly, I. am of the opinion that an individual or group is entitled to? inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 119.07, F.S. (1992 Supp), however, prohibits any person other than the supervisor of elections or his employees from touching the ballots. Moreover, the notes or count taken by such individual or group do not constitute a recount 'of ballots for purposes of the Florida EleCtion Code. Sincerely, Robert A.

Sincerely, Rubin Young On Monday, May 14, 2018 05:12:50 PM, Rubin Young wrote: I ICE Immigration Crackdown WASHINGTON (AP) — Immigration officials have sharply increased audits of companies to verify that their employees are authorized to work in the country, signaling the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration is reaching deeper into the workplace to create a "culture of compliance" among employers who rely on immigrant labor. Expansive plans also have been drafted for a long-term push to scrutinize employers' hiring practices more closely. Under a 1986 federal law, companies must verify their employees are authorized to work in the United States by reviewing their documents and verifying to the government the employees' identity and work authorization. If employers are found to hire someone without proper documents, the employers may be subject to administrative fines and, in some cases, criminal prosecution. The recent focus on employers comes after a surge of deportation arrests of workers that started immediately after Trump took office in January 2017. The crackdown is likely to please immigration hawks among Trump's supporters but may alienate industries and companies that rely on immigrant labor. There were 2,282 employer audits opened between Oct. 1 and May 4, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday, nearly a 60 percent jump from the 1,360 audits opened between October 2016 and September 2017. Many of those reviews were launched following the January ICE audits and employee interviews at about 100 7-Eleven franchises in 17 states. There were 594 employers arrested on criminal immigration charges from Oct. 1 to May 4, up from 139 during the previous fiscal year, and 610 civil immigration charges during the same period, compared to 172 in the preceding 12-months. Derek Benner, head of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, told The Associated Press that another nationwide wave of audits planned this summer would push the total "well over" 5,000 by Sept 30. ICE audits peaked at 3,127 in 2013. The agency has developed a plan to open as many as 15,000 audits a year, subject to funding and support for the plan from other areas of the administration, Benner said. The proposal calls for creation of an Employer Compliance Inspection Center to perform employer audits at a single location instead of at regional offices around the country, Benner said. Electronically scanning the documents will help flag suspicious activity, and the most egregious cases will be farmed out to regional offices for more investigation. Audit notices will be served electronically or by certified mail, instead of in person. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001243 Benner said that putting up to 250 auditors in one center with the right technology and a team of attorneys to quickly levy fines would enable his agency to audit between 10,000 and 15,000 companies annually. The proposal aims to create a "reasonable expectation" among employers that they will be audited, Benner said. "This is kind of our vision of creating this culture of compliance," he said. "I think it's a game-changer." In October, Thomas Homan, ICE's acting director, pledged to increase workplace enforcement by "four or five times," opening a new front in an immigration crackdown that includes a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and initial funding for a border wall with Mexico. In April, ICE agents made 97 arrests at a meatpacking plant in rural Tennessee with a helicopter flying above, reminiscent of the high-profile shows of force that were common during President George W. Bush's administration. Benner said the agency will focus both on criminal cases against employers as well deporting employees who in the country illegally. Illegal hiring creates unfair advantages for companies, encourages people to come to the U.S. illegally, results in document and identity fraud and exposes workers to potentially dangerous conditions without overtime pay or health insurance, he said. It remains to be seen whether immigration authorities can perform enough audits to compel a similar degree of compliance that the Internal Revenue Service does on personal and corporate tax returns. One measure may be the number of employees who voluntarily enroll in the federal government's EVerify system to electronically confirm if a person is authorized to work in the U.S. Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

If you think not because it sound foreign then may be the country can work together on issues dividing us such as illegal immigrants & violations of PL 88452, 92424, 93644 & 95568. They are known as the Economic Opportunity Acts and Amendments and the Community Service Act of 1974 which are the supreme laws of the land sir. If we can do anything on the ground please let us know. We'll even use the organization or natural born people to become bounty hunters and track down those illegal immigrants and/or non citizens serving in elected offices and public administrations. Individuals who may be passing laws supporting a different agency and creating an environment for the purposes of overthrowing America or (Trumpica) in the future. Keep up the good work sir, we know they are trying to turn the country against you like they did Richard Nixon in order to impeach you. There are a lot of bad people who have gotten hold of our governments foreigners and others and they are not letting go without a serious attempt from us to stop the take over sir within America. They are stealing America with election fraud for example Miami Dade County and the City of Miami, have what is known as 14 days voting or early voting for various elected positions. There is no Florida election laws that grant this power of a 14 days election or early voting, yet foreign born citizens use this election method to give the advantage of primary and/or general elections to well financed candidates. This is a condition of involuntary servitude in violation of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Nonetheless, you can't complain about it because foreigners or illegal immigrants run all governments which make you feel you're living in concentration camps or prison as a native and natural born black American or others. ICE must investigate and verify the people who are working in all county and city governments because immigration laws in order to work for federal, state and local governments you must be a United States citizen and that doesn't appear to be the case here in Miami Dade County, Florida, sir. There is no justice in our courts because foreigners have taken over almost all the circuit and court judges position and foreign lawyers make up evidence to people natural born citizens in prison, like the invasion of the body snatchers. We need to know if these foreign citizens serving in elected officials are in fact Americans, if not sir they should be removed from our governments immediately and deported for breaking immigration law. Sir, we request that the ICE investigation include the following, Miami Dade County Mayors and staff, City Mayors and staff, Circuit and County Court judges and staff, State Representatives and staff, State Senators and staff, School Superintendents, Board Members and staff, Democratic Party and Republican Party Chairpersons and staff, County and City Commissioners and staff, County and City Managers and staff, County and City Clerks and staff, City Council members and staff and/or alike, let's make America great again together sir and let American hand do the construction here at home and no one else who will claim that America was built by foreign laborers.

(7) Any candidate, qualified elector, or taxpayer presenting such a contest to a circuit judge is entitled to an immediate hearing. However, the court in its discretion may limit the time to be consumed in taking testimony, with a view therein to the circumstances of the matter and to the proximity of any succeeding election. (8) In any contest that requires a review of the canvassing board’s decision on the legality of a vote-by- mail ballot pursuant to s. 101.68 based upon a comparison of the signature on the voter’s certificate and the signature of the elector in the registration records, the circuit court may not review or consider any evidence other than the signature on the voter’s certificate and the signature of the elector in the registration records. The court’s review of such issue shall be to determine only if the canvassing board abused its discretion in making its decision.An election is the process of choosing a person to fill an office. An election contest is a right of action conferred on every candidate to contest the certification of nomination 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001249 or the certificate of vote as made by the appropriate officials in any election[i]. It is a post-election contest between two competing candidates[ii]. Fraud, corruption, or irregularities in regard to the method of holding an election in a division can affect the entire vote. Thus, an election contest is a special proceeding created by the legislature to provide a remedy for elections tainted by fraud, illegality, or other irregularity[iii]. Generally, there are two types of election contests[iv]:  Motion seeking to oust and replace the certified winner; and  Motion seeking to declare an election void altogether. The fundamental purpose of an election contest is to ascertain the true will of the electorate[v]. Moreover, an election contest provides a simple and speedy means of contesting elections. Additionally, an election contest presupposes a full and fair litigation of election disputes in an expeditious manner[vi]. The remedy provided in an election contest is a statutory one and equity cannot be invoked to determine an election’s validity. An election can be contested only for matters that would impeach the fairness of the result. An election to any public office can be contested on the following grounds[vii]:  When illegal votes have been received;  When legal votes rejected at the polls, sufficient to change the result;  Where any error is committed by any board of canvassers in counting the votes or declaring the result of the election. There is no provision under the common law to contest an election. The right to contest an election exists only under the constitutional and statutory provisions. An election contest is a special statutory proceeding. One who seeks the benefit of a statutory proceeding must comply with all the procedural terms of the statute. Courts cannot exceed the provisions of applicable statutes in resolving election contests[viii]. Thus, the procedure proscribed by a state must be strictly followed in deciding election contests. The judicial determination of election contests requires strict adherence to the constitutional and statutory provisions in the various jurisdictions[ix]. All candidates have the right to protest the returns of an election by filing a protest with the appropriate canvassing board[x]. In order to contest election 5 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001250 results, the petitioner must show that the result of the election will be different in the absence of irregularities[xi]. A candidate intending to contest the election of a member of the House of Representatives must file a notice of his/her intention to contest the election with the Board of Canvassers within thirty days after the result of the election. S/he must serve a copy of notice upon the contestee[xii]. The court or board authorized by statute or the constitution has jurisdiction to hear an election contest. The jurisdictional facts must appear on the face of the proceedings. However, jurisdictional defects can be raised at any time[xiii]. A judge who may be affected by the result of the decision is disqualified from sitting in the hearing. The proper or necessary parties to election contest proceedings are usually prescribed by each statute.SeeExhibit Exhibit A and B. “A” Date: August 23, 1977 Subject: Elections, contested elections and legal costs ELECTIONS--SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE MAY NOT USE PUBLIC FUNDS TO DEFEND CONTESTED ELECTION RESULT To: Willie Mae Jones, Gilchrist County Supervisor of Elections, Trenton Prepared by: Patricia R. Gleason, Assistant Attorney General QUESTION: May county funds or funds available in the office budget of the supervisor of elections be expended to provide a defense for a supervisor of elections who has been made a party defendant in an election contest in his or her individual capacity as the successful candidate or nominee and where the county canvassing board of which such supervisor is a member is a party defendant as required by s. 102.161, F. S.? SUMMARY: 6 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001251 Neither county funds nor funds available in the office budget of the supervisor of elections may be expended to defend a supervisor of elections who has been made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. Such litigation is personal to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in expending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. According to your letter, you were made a party defendant in an election contest proceeding instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. That section provides in pertinent part: "The certification of election or nomination of any person to office may be contested in the circuit court . . . by any unsuccessful candidate for such office . . .. The successful candidate and the canvassing board or election board shall be the proper party defendants." (Emphasis supplied.) An examination of the complaint filed by the unsuccessful candidate for nomination to the office of supervisor of elections, a copy of which you have attached to your letter, reveals that you were made a party defendant in your individual capacity as the successful candidate for nomination to the office of supervisor of elections and that the county canvassing board was also made a party defendant as required by the terms of s. 102.161, F. S., above quoted. The complaint further reveals that no charges are made against or relief sought from the defendant canvassing board with respect to any act on the part of such board in carrying out its statutorily assigned duties and functions. (See ss. 101.68, 102.141, 102.151, and 102.166, F. S., as to the duties and functions of the county canvassing board.) To the contrary, the complaint alleges that the supervisor of elections unlawfully solicited the casting of absentee ballots. Thus, the complaint prays that "the returns from the absentee ballots in said election be rejected" and that the unsuccessful candidate be "declared the rightful winner of said election." The foregoing analysis of the allegations contained in the complaint makes clear that the action is simply an election contest predicated upon the validity of certain absentee votes and challenging the right of the successful candidate or nominee to hold the office to which she was elected. The question of whether or not public funds may properly be expended to provide a legal defense for the successful candidate in such an election contest proceeding has been recently considered by the court in Markham v. State by and Through the Department of Revenue, 298 So.2d 210 (1 D.C.A. Fla., 1974). The Markham case involved an election contest challenging the action of the Broward County Canvassing Board in canvassing and counting certain absentee ballots. The unsuccessful candidate for the office of Broward County Tax Assessor sued both the successful candidate in his individual capacity and the county canvassing board. The question under consideration by the court was whether or not the successful candidate for the office of tax assessor could use funds available in his office budget for legal expenses to pay attorneys he had retained to defend him in the election contest. In ruling that such an expenditure would be improper, the court held: 7 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001252 "The suit giving rise to the incurring of the attorney's fees was not against the [tax assessor] in his official capacity nor did it arise from a discharge of his official duties nor serve a public purpose. The suit was a pure and simple election contest relating to the validity of certain absentee votes. The questioned absentee votes were sufficient in number to affect the result of the election. Under the law of Florida as announced in cases too numerous to cite, had the contestant been successful in his attack upon the votes the appellant would have ceased to be tax assessor and his opponent would have taken office. The office, functions and duties of tax assessor would not have been in any manner altered. There would simply have been another man filling the position. The legal battle between the political contestants was purely personal. Each wanted to be tax assessor of Broward County and the challenged absentee votes furnished the key to the door." [298 So.2d at 212.] Accord: Peck v. Spencer, 7 So. 642, 644 (Fla. 1890) (town council was without authority to authorize the acting mayor to defend at the town's expense a suit which had been filed against the acting mayor by a defeated candidate to test the validity of the town election); Williams v. City of Miami, 42 So.2d 582 (Fla. 1949) (city had no interest in defending a suit arising out of a recall election); AGO's 071185 and 071-276. Applying the foregoing cases and Attorney General Opinions to your inquiry, it is my opinion that the expenditure of public funds, either from your office income or budgeted funds or county funds, to defend you in your capacity as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S., would be improper. To the extent that the lawsuit represents a "legal battle" between an unsuccessful and a successful candidate or nominee to determine who is entitled to the office of supervisor of elections, it would appear that the outcome of such litigation is dependent upon the validity of the absentee ballots cast and is, therefore, personal to the candidates involved. Furthermore, no additional factors which would indicate sufficient public interest in the outcome of the election contest are made apparent from the face of the complaint. Compare Estes v. City of North Miami Beach, 227 So.2d 33, 34 (Fla. 1969), wherein the Supreme Court found that it was not an abuse of discretion for the city council to engage special counsel to defend a law suit filed against four of the seven members of the city council and the city attorney by a defeated candidate for city councilman. The court held that the challenged appropriation of municipal funds to pay such special counsel must be considered in light of the following facts: a majority of the city council were defendants in the law suit; the plaintiff sought a judicial construction of the provisions of the municipal election code and an injunction against the defendants restraining them from performing all their official duties on behalf of the municipality other than legislative action. See also Miller v. Carbonelli, 80 So.2d 909 (Fla. 1955), holding that the town council was authorized to engage an attorney to defend the mayor in a quo warranto proceeding brought by one councilman against the new mayor elected by the council from their own number challenging both 8 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001253 the right of the newly elected mayor to assume office and the action of the council electing him where "the issue not only immediately and directly affected the proper governance and administration of village affairs but the official action of the councilmen as electors was challenged." The fact that the supervisor of elections is a member of the county canvassing board does not alter the conclusion set forth above. Section 102.161, supra, requires that the canvassing board be made a party defendant, as an entity, to an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to that section. The members of such canvassing board, therefore, are only nominal defendants who are required to be joined by statute. [It should be noted that the Legislature has recently amended s. 102.141, F. S., to provide for the replacement of a member of the county canvassing board if such member is unable to serve or "is a candidate who has opposition in the election being canvassed or is an active participant in the campaign or candidacy of any candidate who has opposition in the election being canvassed . . .." Section 26 of Ch. 77-175, Laws of Florida, effective January 1, 1978. With specific regard to the supervisor of elections, s. 26 of Ch. 77-175 provides that if the supervisor of elections is unable to serve or is disqualified pursuant to the section, then the chairman of the board of county commissioners shall appoint a member of the board of county commissioners who is not a candidate with opposition in the election being canvassed; however, the supervisor is required to act in an advisory capacity to the canvassing board.] Cf. State ex rel. Hutchins v. Taylor, 143 So. 754, 757 (Fla. 1932), holding that, in the absence of statutory authorization, a county judge cannot be replaced as a member of the canvassing board because he is a candidate in the election canvassed. The duties imposed upon the county canvassing board "to canvass the returns of a[n] . . . election is ministerial in their nature, involving no discretion." (Emphasis supplied.) State ex rel. Knott v. Haskill, 72 So. 651 (Fla. 1916); See also State ex rel. Peacock v. Latham, 170 So. 472 (Fla. 1936). Accordingly, a county canvassing board possesses no authority to pass upon the regularity of an election or the qualifications of persons thereat. State v. McLin, 16 Fla. 17 (1876). County canvassers have no power to go beyond the inspectors' returns except to determine their genuineness, nor may the canvassing board reject returns which are genuine on their face. State ex rel. Bisbee v. Board of Canvassers of Alachua County, 17 Fla. 9 (1878). Applying these principles to your inquiry, it is clear that the canvassing board is not authorized to determine whether or not the supervisor of elections unlawfully solicited absentee ballots; such a determination can only be made by the judiciary by means of the election contest. Thus, while the county is authorized to defend the canvassing board as an entity in an election contest (see AGO 068-70), neither county funds nor funds budgeted in the office account of the supervisor of elections may be used to defend the supervisor of elections who was the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest predicated on the validity of absentee ballots, which absentee ballots were alleged to have been unlawfully solicited by the supervisor of elections.Your question is accordingly answered in the negative. 9 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001254 Exhibit “B” Number: AGO 93-48 Date: July 29, 1993 Subject: Inspection of ballots The Honorable Fred Galey Supervisor of Elections Brevard County Post Office Box 1119 Titusville, Florida 32781-1119 RE: RECORDS--ELECTIONS--SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS--individual may take notes during inspection of ballots but may not touch ballots. s. 119.07 (1992 Supp.) and s. 101.5615, F.S. Dear Mr. Galey: You ask substantially the following question: Is an individual or group inspecting ballots pursuant to Ch. 119, F.S., precluded from counting votes for an individual candidate in any precinct or race? In sum: An individual or group is entitled to inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 119.07, F.S. (1992 Supp.) prohibits any person other than the supervisor of elections or his employees from touching the ballots. The notes or count taken by the individual or group do not constitute a recount of ballots for purposes of the Florida Election Code. According to the information provided to this office, the Supervisor of Elections of Brevard County has received a request to examine and count certain selected precinct ballots of the 1992 general election. You are concerned that individuals, by counting the ballots during their inspection pursuant to Ch. 119, F.S., will be conducting a recount of the ballots. Initially, I would note that this opinion is confined to a consideration of your responsibilities under Ch. 119, F.S., the Public Records Law. Any question arising under the Florida Election Code, Chs. 97-106, F.S., should be addressed to the Division of Elections in the Department of State, which is authorized to render advisory opinions regarding the interpretation of the Election Code. It is a general policy of this state that the records of the state and local government shall be open for inspection by any person. Such a right of access is now recognized in our State Constitution. Pursuant to s. 119.07(1)(a), F.S. (1992 Supp.), every person having custody of a public record "shall permit the 10 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001255 record to be inspected and examined by any person desiring to do so, at any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the public record or his designee." Only those public records which are provided by law to be confidential or which are prohibited from being inspected by the public, whether by general or special law, are exempt from the disclosure provisions of s. 119.07(1), F.S. (1992 Supp.). I am not aware of, nor have you drawn my attention to, any provision of law which makes ballots or ballot stubs confidential or exempt from disclosure. Section 119.07(1)(c) F.S. (1992 Supp.), however, provides: "When ballots are produced under this section for inspection or examination, no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his employees shall touch the ballots. The supervisor of elections shall make a reasonable effort to notify all candidates by telephone or otherwise of the time and place of the inspection or examination. All such candidates, or their representatives, shall be allowed to be present during the inspection or examination." While s. 119.07(1)(c), F.S. (1992 Supp.), places restrictions on who may handle the ballots, it does not remove the ballots from the inspection requirement of s. 119.07(1), F.S. (1992 Supp.). Nor am I aware of any provision restricting full inspection of the ballots other than the restriction contained in section 119.07(1)(c), F.S. (1992 Supp.), that no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his or her employees may touch the ballots. This office has previously stated that a custodian of public records may not impose a rule or condition on inspection which operates to restrict or circumvent a person's right of access. You have expressed your concern that individuals making notations or counting ballots during their inspection of such ballots pursuant to s. 119.07(1)(c), F.S. (1992 Supp.), would constitute a recount of such ballots in violation of the Florida Election Code. While questions involving the interpretation of the election code should be addressed to the Division of Elections, I would note that s. 101.5615, F.S., states that recounts and election contests shall be conducted as provided for in the election code. Section 102.166, F.S., provides for the protest of election returns and the recounting of ballots. Clearly, therefore, any notations or count made by individuals during their inspection of the ballots or ballot stubs pursuant to s. 119.07(1), F.S. (1992 Supp.), would not constitute a recount of the election returns and, thus, could not be used to challenge the results of an election under the Florida Election Code. I cannot, however, conclude that the provisions of the Florida Election Code which requires that a recount of election returns shall be as prescribed in the code imposes a limitation or restriction on the inspection of the ballots under Ch. 119, F.S., by prohibiting an individual from taking notes while 11 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001256 inspecting such ballots. Moreover, an individual requesting access to inspect such records under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, need not show a special interest or legitimate interest in the public record before being allowed to inspect the records. As the court stated in Lorei v. Smith, the legislative objective underlying the creation of chapter 119 was to insure to the people of Florida the right freely to gain access to governmental records. The purpose for such inquiry is immaterial. Nor may an agency refuse to allow inspection on the grounds that the request is overbroad or extensive. The courts have recognized that the breadth of the right to inspect is virtually unfettered, save for statutory exemptions. If, however, the nature or volume of the records to be inspected is such as to require extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, s. 119.07(1)(b), F.S. (1992 Supp.), authorizes the imposition of a special service charge. Such charge must be reasonable and must be based upon the actual labor cost of the personnel providing the service incurred by the agency. Accordingly, I am of the opinion that an individual or group is entitled to inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 119.07, F.S. (1992 Supp.), however, prohibits any person other than the supervisor of elections or his employees from touching the ballots. Moreover, the notes or count taken by such individual or group do not constitute a recount of ballots for purposes of the Florida Election Code. Sincerely, Robert A.

ET. AL CASE NO. Plaintiff(s) V. MARK BOGEN, CANDIDATE DR. BRENDA SNIPES AND BROWARD COUNTY SUPERVISOR OF ELECTION’S CANVASSING BOARD Defendant(s) _____________________________/ ELECTION PROTEST OF BROWARD COUNTY CANVASSING BOARD CERTIFIED REPORT REGARDING THE SPECIAL PRIMARY ELECTION HELD ON DECEMBER 4, 2014 FOR BROWARD COUNTY COMMISSION, DISTRICT 2 Pursuant to F.S. 102.071, 102.141, 102.155, 102.166, 102.168, 104.31, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights of 1965 and the Equal Protection Clause, we are challenging by election protest the December 4, 2014 Special Primary Election declaring Mark Bogen the winner of the Broward County Commission, District 2 race. In lieu thereof an election contest is a lawsuit which challenges the certification of the outcome of an election. An election contest suit can be brought by an unsuccessful candidate or any voter or taxpayer. The suit must be filed within 10 days after certification of the election. The grounds for contesting anelection are: (a) Misconduct, fraud, or corruption on the part of any election official or any member of the canvassing board sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. (b) Ineligibility of the successful candidate for the nomination or office in dispute. (c) Receipt of a number of illegal votes or rejection of a number of legal votes sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001260 (d) Proof that any elector, election official, or canvassing board member was given or offered a bribe or reward in money, property, or any other thing of value for the purpose of procuring the successful candidate’s nomination or election or determining the result on any question submitted by referendum. The Florida Public Records Lawand Election Code treat ballots as public records subject to public inspection and examination upon request. Any member of the public is entitled to inspect any or all of the ballots, however, only an employee of the supervisor of elections can touch the original ballot. In Florida Attorney General statement Pam Bondi she gave a legal opinion regarding election challenges that said “Neither county funds nor funds available in the office budget of the supervisor of elections may be expended to defend a supervisor of election expending funds made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. Such litigation is personal to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in expending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. The unsuccessful candidatefor the office of Broward County Commission District 2 can sue both the successful candidate in his individual capacity and the county canvassing board". It was allegedly reported by a witness that she saw Mr. Bogen committing alleged absentee ballot fraud himself when she witnessed him collecting and picking up absentee ballots in the Palm Aires community as an official candidate. We also alleged that Mr. Bogen exceeded Florida’s Campaign Finance Spending Limit Laws in the local election and placed other candidates who were not able to financially compete with his millions of dollars at a great disadvantage with him originally being a resident of West Palm Beach and not a long time resident of County commission District 2 a part of a single member district family. The principles behind single member districts. Single member districts allows voters living and residing within the district to have a voice on the Board of County Commission. In addition, we allege that Mr.Bogen and his paid campaign workers serving under the leadership of a Mr.Walter Hunter committed alleged absentee ballots fraud when Mr. Bogen and members of his team allegedly before and/or during the elections filled out and completed absentee ballots on behalf of voters. They went throughout the district with a ballot that had only Mr. Bogen name solely on the fake absentee ballot that declared him as the only candidate in the District 2 race other campaigns such as Carmen Jones and Lisa At one on allegedly followed suit. These acts or actions violated Florida Statutes 104.31, 104.061, 104.0616, 104.045, 104.047,104.051,104.0615, 104.071, and it confused voters even more thus violating collectively the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights of 1965 and the Equal Protection Clause. We allege that his act or actions and the failures of the Broward County Supervisor of Elections and Canvassing Board to certify this electionproperly upon him being reported to Dr. Brenda Snipes regarding his alleged absentee balloting fraud; helped disenfranchised voters and/or violated other relevant provisions of our election laws. Special primary elections are called by the Governor if no person has been elected at a general election to fill an office which was required to be filled by election at such general election, we do not believe that the election supervisor has that authority to call for a special primary election. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001261 We even allege that first during the 2014 August Primary Election Mr. Bogen allegedly paid voters $5.00 dollars to vote for him at the polls and during the December 4, 2014 Special Primary Election as alleged Mr. Bogen he gave voters allegedly rides to the polls and offer them gas cards for their votes. Mr. Bogen as an outsider and new comer to Broward politics received endorsements from numerous elected officials such as a Commissioner Woodrow Poitier and non-profit organizations such as Century Village Democratic Club President and Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church that was designed to help him sway the outcomes of this election in violation of F.S.104.31 and other related provisions of our election statutes. Therefore, we challenge Mr. Bogen’s legal residency at the time of his qualifying and we make mention again with complete emphasis that Mr. Bogen was not a long time resident of District 2. Florida's qualifying laws required in asingle member districts that county's seats and boundaries are designated by the laws of the State of Florida. Mr.Bogen’s qualifying paperwork for the District 2 election should not have been accepted by the Supervisor of Elections office because he was not a long time resident at the time of his qualifying. The County Commission shall be composed of nine (9) members elected from single a member districts and by County Charter Commissioners they are elected on a partisan basis. We also challenge those absentee ballots returns that helped him be declared as the winner of the District 2 race. F.S.Chapter 101.62 states that paid staff must receive written authorization by affidavit and that the person turning in absentee ballots can only turn two absentee ballots per election. F.S. Chapter 101.62, we believe that due to alleged voter's and conspiracy our election office may be experiencing some alleged violations of our absentee ballot laws. Again according to the law anyone turning in an absentee ballot for a voter who is not a family member must first have a written affidavit signed by the voter that gives the person on Mr. Bogen or Walter Hunter’s team as alleged paid staff persons written authorization by affidavit to turn the absentee ballot into the election office on behalf of the voter, we request those written affidavits from the election department. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=01000199/0101/Sections/0101.62.html The law provides in F.S. Chapter 105 that after each and every election the Supervisor of Elections must prepare his or her report and forward the election results of that report to the Florida State Divisions of Elections after votes cast had been certified. So, I am now requesting a copy of the August 26, 2014 Primary Election Report that was prepared by the Broward County Supervisor of Elections and forwarded to the Florida State Department Division of Elections for our review. INJUNCTIVE RELIEF That a manual recount of the early voting elections, the August 26, 2014 primary and the December 4, 2014 special primary election take place and all the votes be released during the early FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001262 voting, August 26, 2014 primary and special election by the election department concerning Broward County Commission District 2 race. That the Supervisor of Elections be instructed or ordered to release the court order that instructed her not to count the votes from both the early voting elections and August 26,2014 primary for the County Commissiom District 2 race as set forth by law or its statutory authority to do so. Florida elections are protected by Florida Constitution Article I and VI, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the 13th, 14th, 15th Amendment US Constitution and the EqualProtection Clause. Therefore it appears that this 2014 pocess was tainted by alleged corruption, conspiracy and voter:s fraud and we want to know theelection department’s legal authority or constitution right to discard and toss votes out in an election giving Mr. Bogen the advantsge. We believe this goes beyond a Supervisor of Elections constitutional or statutory duties and its actions disenfranchised voters in a Florida election by not promoting the special primary election where Mr. Bogen in a low turnout special primary electiom received well over 2000 absentee ballots or more and we ask the question how? We request that another primary election take place without absentee ballots except to those individuals stricken with a several disability who wish to again vote for those qualified candidates running in the Broward County Commission District 2 race. We also request that this race is overseened by Federal Election Monitors and not the Supervisor of Election’s office or deputy clerk's as for reasons mentioned above.

CACE14023676 Plaintiff(s) V. AMENDED COMPLAINT MARK BOGEN, CANDIDATE DR. BRENDA SNIPES BROWARD COUNTY SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS AND CANVASSINGBOARD AND GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT AND THE FLORIDA ELECTION CANVASSING COMMISSION et al. Defendant(s) _____________________________/ AMENDED COMPLAINT COMES NOW, the Plaintiff Rubin Young Requests Pursuant to F.S. s. 102.071, s. 102.141, s. 102.155, s. 102.166, s. 102.168, s. 104.31, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights of 1965 and the Equal Protection Clause. The Plaintiff is challenging by election protest the December 4, 2014 Special Primary Election declaring Mark Bogen the winner of the Broward County Commission, District 2 race. We requested on December 5, 2014 the Broward County Supervisor of Election Canvassing Board Certified Report for the December 4, 2014 Special Primary that include the Broward County Commission, District 2 race because the election office did not provide, so the Plaintiff file an election protest timely without the preliminary certified report from Broward County. In lieu thereof an election contest is a lawsuit that’s challenges the certification of the outcome of the 2014 early voting and special election. An election contest suit can be brought by an unsuccessful candidate or any voter or taxpayer. The suit must be filed within 10 days after certification of the election. The grounds for contesting an election are: (a) Misconduct, fraud, or corruption on the part of any election official or any member of the canvassing board sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. 1 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001265 (b) Ineligibility of the successful candidate for the nomination or office in dispute. (c) Receipt of a number of illegal votes or rejection of a number of legal votes sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. (d) Proof that any elector, election official, or canvassing board member was given or offered a bribe or reward in money, property, or any other thing of value for the purpose of procuring the successful candidate’s nomination or election or determining the result on any question submitted by referendum. The Florida Public Records Law and Election Code treat ballots as public records subject to public inspection and examination upon request. Any member of the public is entitled to inspect any or all of the ballots, however, only an employee of the supervisor of elections can touch the original ballot. In Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi gave a legal opinion regarding election challenges she said “Neither county funds nor funds available in the office budget of the supervisor of elections may be expended to defend a supervisor of election expending funds made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. Such litigation is personal to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in expending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. The unsuccessful candidatefor the office of Broward County Commission District 2 can sue both the successful candidate in his individual capacity and the county canvassing board". Count I It was allegedly reported by a witness that she saw Defendant committing alleged absentee ballot fraud himself when she witnessed him collecting and picking up absentee ballots in the Palm Aires community as an official candidate. The Plaintiff also alleged that Defendant exceeded Florida’s Campaign Finance Spending Limit Laws in the local election and placed other candidates who were not able to financially compete with his millions of dollars at a great disadvantage with him originally being a resident of West Palm Beach and not along-time resident of Broward County Commission District 2 a part of a single member district family. The principles behind single member districts. Single member districts allow voters living and residing within the district to have a voice on the Board of County Commission. In addition, the Plaintiff alleges that the defendant Mark Bogen and his campaign paid 2 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001266 workers under the leadership of a Mr. Walter Hunter also committed alleged absentee ballots fraud, when Defendant and paid staffers on his team allegedly before and/or during the election filled out and completed absentee ballots on behalf of voters. They went throughout the district with a ballot that had only Defendant’s name solely on the alleged fake absentee ballot that declared him as the only candidate in the District 2 race other campaigns such as Carmen Jones and Lisa Aronson allegedly followed suit. These acts or actions violated Florida Statutes s. 104.31, s. 104.061, s. 104.0616, s. 104.045, s. s. 104.047, s. 104.051, s. 104.0615, and s. 104.071, and confused voters even more thus violating collectively the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights of 1965 and the Equal Protection Clause. Count II We alleged that his act or actions and the failures of the Broward County Supervisor of Elections and Canvassing Board to correctly certify in 2014 the election as reported by Dr. Brenda Snipes and Canvassing Board regarding report that Defendant and his campaign allegedly committed absentee balloting fraud; misconduct, fraud, ineligibility and corrupt practices that helped disenfranchised voters and violated other relevant provisions of Florida election laws. See F.S. 100.111. The law says Special primary elections are called by the Governor if no person has been elected at a general election to fill an elected office which was required to be filled by election at such general election, which we do not believe that the election supervisor has that authority to call for a special primary election. We also alleged that during the August 2014 primary elections Defendant allegedly paid voters $5.00 dollars allegedly in Pompano Beach, FL to vote for him at the voting precincts during the December 4, 2014 special primary election. Count III It is alleged that Defendant gave voters rides to the polls and offered them gas cards or other bribes for their votes. Defendant as an outsider and new comer to Broward politics received endorsements from numerous elected officials such as a Commissioner Woodrow Poitier and non-profit organizations such as Century Village Democratic Club President and Hopewell Missionary Baptist 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001267 Church that was designed to help him sway the outcomes of this election in violation of F.S.104.31 and other related provisions of our election statutes. Count IV The Plaintiff allegedly challenge Defendant’s legal residency at the time of registering for the 2014 elections. It is alleged that Defendant was not eligible to seek an elected office in Broward County Commission District 2 race because he was not a resident who met all of the residency requirements. Florida's qualifying laws requires any person in a single member districts for an elected office to be a resident which boundaries are designated by the laws of the State of Florida. Mr.Bogen’s qualifying paperwork for the District 2 election should not have been accepted by the Supervisor of Elections office because he was not a long time resident at the time of his qualifying. The County Commission is composed of nine (9) members elected from single a member districts and according to Broward County Home Rule Charter Commissioners are elected on a partisan basis and no other charter amendment shall state otherwise. The Plaintiff challenges in addition all absentee ballots casted and all ballots erroneously declaring Defendant the winner of the Broward County Commission District 2 race. See F.S.Chapter 101.62. The Florida law states that paid staff must receive written authorization by affidavit and that the person turning in absentee ballots can only turn two absentee ballots per election. See F.S. Chapter 101.62. Count V The Plaintiff alleges the Defendant may have committed also alleged voters and/or a conspiracy to commit alleged voter’s fraud during the 2014 elections. According to Florida law anyone staffer who turns in an absentee ballot for a voter and the person is not an immediate family member “must” first have a written affidavit signed by the voter giving the paid staffer, Defendant and/or Walter Hunter’s team leader written authorization again by affidavit in order to turn and sign-in their absentee ballot with the Broward County Supervisor of Elections office on behalf of the voter. The Plaintiff requests that the county election provide copies of all absentee ballots, affidavits and election office’s official sign-in for the August 2014 early voting, primary and special primary elections under rules of 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001268 disclosure. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=01000199/0101/Sections/0101.62.html The law provides in F.S. Chapter 105 that after each and every election the Supervisor of Elections must prepare his or her report and forward the election results of that report to the Florida State Divisions of Elections and Election Canvassing Commission after votes casted had been certified by canvassing board. The Plaintiff Rubin Young is also requesting a copy of the August 26, 2014 Primary Election Certification Preliminary Report from Broward County Supervisor of Elections and Florida Election Canvassing Commission assigned by the Florida State Department Division of Elections to be received by the Plaintiff. The allegations were based upon misconduct, fraud, corrupt election practices and ineligibility meeting the guidelines of the entire Fla. Stat. s. 102.168 which also identified that Mark Bogen may have been ineligible in 2014 to enter the Broward County Board of Commissioners District 2 race because at the time he lived in Palm Beach County and not Broward County, FL. In addition, according to the Plaintiff’s investigation in 2014 Defendant property records showed his homestead or mortgage in 2014 was in Palm Beach County and not Broward County, FL. He also owned and ran a business in Palm Beach County as well where great number of his campaign contributors giving him contributions in excess of $1000.00 dollars also lived and worked in Palm Beach County, FL. Whereas that gives the appears and/or suspects of 1. misconduct, 2. fraud, 3. corruption and 4. ineligibility. That the circuit court according to Fla. Stat. 102.168 (4), (5), (6) and (7) order all early voting elections ballots and all of the August 26, 2014 primary elections ballots and all of the December 4, 2014 special primary elections ballots to his chambers for manual inspection in order to determine based on the Florida Statute 102.168 (4), (5), (6), (7) and (8) allegedly committing misconduct, fraud, corruption and ineligibility take place during the early voting on August 26, 2014 in a primary and special elections held December 4, 2014 concerning the election for Broward County Commission District 2 race. The court should instruct the Supervisor of Elections to release by court order these official records as provided in a statutory election contest requirement for early voting held on August 26,2014 as well as all primary and 5 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001269 special elections ballots not in compliance of Fla. Stat. 101.157, 102.168, 102.171, 102.121, and 102.141 for the Broward County Board of Commission, District 2 race as set forth by law enacted by Florida Legislature and/or by the law statutory authority for circuit courts to do so. Florida elections are protected by Florida Constitution Article I, III, VI and VIII, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 1981 and 1983, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendment U.S. Constitution and the Equal Protection Clause. The Plaintiff believes that the Defendant action may had impacted the 2014 election and the election should be overturned by the court ordering a new election and/or by removing him from his current position which the candidates involved in that election now get a chance to draw straws and determine who will serve out the Defendant remaining term in office whereas it appears that this 2014 process was tainted by alleged corruption, absentee balloting fraud. Conspiracy to commit elected fraud and voter’s illegal slates or advertising which the Plaintiff requests from the local elections that statute that gives Broward County local election office the authorizing authority to reject votes without a canvassing board and/or reject votes out casted in an election giving Defendant the advantage. The Plaintiff Rubin Young believed that Dr. Brenda Snipes, Broward County Supervisor of Elections over extended her authority by rejection votes casted in 2014, thus without proper authorization by Florida Governor Rick Scott approved a special election which disenfranchised and rejected a great number voters in order for Mark Bogen a Palm Beach County resident to win over members of the single member district. Count VI The Plaintiff alleges that during a very low turnout involving a special primary election that was promoted or advertised by the local election supervisor or voters having received reminder notices the Defendant received well over 2000 absentee ballots in a low turnout election which the ballots were delivered by paid staff unlawfully without signed affidavits by a participating voting member. RELIEF Wherefore, the Plaintiff Rubin Young requests that another special primary election take place without absentee ballots except given to those individuals stricken by disability or limitations and without 6 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001270 the presence of the Defendant Mark Bogen due to his participation into alleged 1. Misconduct, 2. Fraud, 3. Ineligibility and 4. Corrupt election practices. The Plaintiff Rubin Young that the motion to amend original complaint be granted pursuant by F.R.C.P. Rule 1.190 for the reasons mentioned above. The a hearing pursuant to Fla. Stat. 102.168 take place according to the statutory election contest requirements and that Dr. Brenda Snipes transport the ballots in questions to be inspected and examined by the circuit court judge for case disposition and/or to overturn the 2014 special election for the Broward County Commission, District 2 elections calling for new election without Mark Bogen as a candidate due to single member district residency requirements. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have read the foregoing mentioned and that the facts stated are true and correct.

Expansive plans also have been drafted for a long-term push to scrutinize employers' hiring practices more closely. Under a 1986 federal law, companies must verify their employees are authorized to work in the United States by reviewing their documents and verifying to the government the employees' identity and work authorization. If employers are found to hire someone without proper documents, the employers may be subject to administrative fines and, in some cases, criminal prosecution. The recent focus on employers comes after a surge of deportation arrests of workers that started immediately after Trump took office in January 2017. The crackdown is likely to please immigration hawks among Trump's supporters but may alienate industries and companies that rely on immigrant labor. There were 2,282 employer audits opened between Oct. 1 and May 4, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday, nearly a 60 percent jump from the 1,360 audits opened between October 2016 and September 2017. Many of those reviews were launched following the January ICE audits and employee interviews at about 100 7-Eleven franchises in 17 states. There were 594 employers arrested on criminal immigration charges from Oct. 1 to May 4, up from 139 during the previous fiscal year, and 610 civil immigration charges during the same period, compared to 172 in the preceding 12-months. Derek Benner, head of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, told The Associated Press that another nationwide wave of audits planned this summer would push the total "well over" 5,000 by Sept 30. ICE audits peaked at 3,127 in 2013. The agency has developed a plan to open as many as 15,000 audits a year, subject to funding and support for the plan from other areas of the administration, Benner said. The proposal calls for creation of an Employer Compliance Inspection Center to perform employer audits at a single location instead of at regional offices around the country, Benner said. Electronically scanning the documents will help flag suspicious activity, and the most egregious cases will be farmed out to regional offices for more investigation. Audit notices will be served electronically or by certified mail, instead of in person. Benner said that putting up to 250 auditors in one center with the right technology and a team of attorneys to quickly levy fines would enable his agency to audit between 10,000 and 15,000 companies annually. The proposal aims to create a "reasonable expectation" among employers that they will be audited, Benner said. "This is kind of our vision of creating this culture of compliance," he said. "I think it's a game-changer." In October, Thomas Homan, ICE's acting director, pledged to increase workplace enforcement by "four or five times," opening a new front in an immigration crackdown that includes a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and initial funding for a border wall with Mexico. In April, ICE agents made 97 arrests at a meatpacking plant in rural Tennessee with a helicopter flying above, reminiscent of the high-profile shows of force that were common during President George W. Bush's administration. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001274 Benner said the agency will focus both on criminal cases against employers as well deporting employees who in the country illegally. Illegal hiring creates unfair advantages for companies, encourages people to come to the U.S. illegally, results in document and identity fraud and exposes workers to potentially dangerous conditions without overtime pay or health insurance, he said. It remains to be seen whether immigration authorities can perform enough audits to compel a similar degree of compliance that the Internal Revenue Service does on personal and corporate tax returns. One measure may be the number of employees who voluntarily enroll in the federal government's EVerify system to electronically confirm if a person is authorized to work in the U.S. Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

If you think not because it sound foreign then may be the country can work together on issues dividing us such as illegal immigrants & violations of PL 88452, 92424, 93644 & 95568. They are known as the Economic Opportunity Acts and Amendments and the Community Service Act of 1974 which are the supreme laws of the land sir. If we can do anything on the ground please let us know. We'll even use the organization or natural born people to become bounty hunters and track down those illegal immigrants and/or non citizens serving in elected offices and public administrations. Individuals who may be passing laws supporting a different agency and creating an environment for the purposes of overthrowing America or (Trumpica) in the future. Keep up the good work sir, we know they are trying to turn the country against you like they did Richard Nixon in order to impeach you. There are a lot of bad people who have gotten hold of our governments foreigners and others and they are not letting go without a serious attempt from us to stop the take over sir within America. They are stealing America with election fraud for example Miami Dade County and the City of Miami, have what is known as 14 days voting or early voting for various elected positions. There is no Florida election laws that grant this power of a 14 days election or early voting, yet foreign born citizens use this election method to give the advantage of primary and/or general elections to well financed candidates. This is a condition of involuntary servitude in violation of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Nonetheless, you can't complain about it because foreigners or illegal immigrants run all governments which make you feel you're living in concentration camps or prison as a native and natural born black American or others. ICE must investigate and verify the people who are working in all county and city governments because immigration laws in order to work for federal, state and local governments you must be a United States citizen and that doesn't appear to be the case here in Miami Dade County, Florida, sir. There is no justice in our courts because foreigners have taken over almost all the circuit and court judges position and foreign lawyers make up evidence to people natural born citizens in prison, like the invasion of the body snatchers. We need to know if these foreign citizens serving in elected officials are in fact Americans, if not sir they should be removed from our governments immediately and deported for breaking immigration law. Sir, we request that the ICE investigation include the following, Miami Dade County Mayors and staff, City Mayors and staff, Circuit and County Court judges and staff, State Representatives and staff, State Senators and staff, School Superintendents, Board Members and staff, Democratic Party and Republican Party Chairpersons and staff, County and City Commissioners and staff, County and City Managers and staff, County and City Clerks and staff, City Council members and staff and/or alike, let's make America great again together sir and let American hand do the construction here at home and no one else who will claim that America was built by foreign laborers. We thank you for your time and for your service to our country sir and thank you for listening Mr. President, I know your hands are tied and you can't focus on these issues. If you have any questions or wish that we appear before any hearings to testify whether or not natural born Americans citizens are being abused by foreigners in local government or placed in mental or psychological prisons we stand ready and available, please let us know sir.

FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001276 IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE 17TH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT IN AND FOR BROWARD COUNTY, FLORIDA RUBIN YOUNG, CASE NO. CACE14023676 Plaintiff(s) V. AMENDED COMPLAINT MARK BOGEN, CANDIDATE DR. BRENDA SNIPES BROWARD COUNTY SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS AND CANVASSING BOARD AND GOVERNOR RICK SCOTT AND THE FLORIDA ELECTION CANVASSING COMMISSION et al. Defendant(s) _____________________________/ MOTION TO AMEND ORIGINAL ELECTION PROTEST OF BROWARD COUNTY CANVASSING BOARD CERTIFIED REPORT REGARDING THE SPECIAL PRIMARY ELECTION HELD ON DECEMBER 4, 2014 FOR BROWARD COUNTY COMMISSION, DISTRICT 2 COMES NOW, the Plaintiff Rubin Young Requests Pursuant to F.S. 102.071, 102.141, 102.155, 102.166, 102.168, 104.31, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights of 1965 and the Equal Protection Clause, we are challenging by election protest the December 4, 2014 Special Primary Election declaring Mark Bogen the winner of the Broward County Commission, District 2 race. We requested on December 5, 2014 the Broward County Supervisor of Election Canvassing Board Certified Report for the December 4, 2014 Special Primary that include the Broward County Commission, District 2 race the election office did not provide, so we are filing election protest timely without the certified report. In lieu thereof an election contest is a lawsuit which challenges the certification of the outcome of an election. An election contest suit can be brought by an unsuccessful candidate or any voter or taxpayer. The suit must be filed within 10 days after certification of the election. The grounds for contesting an election are: (a) Misconduct, fraud, or corruption on the part of any election official or any member of the canvassing board sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. 1 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001277 (b) Ineligibility of the successful candidate for the nomination or office in dispute. (c) Receipt of a number of illegal votes or rejection of a number of legal votes sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. (d) Proof that any elector, election official, or canvassing board member was given or offered a bribe or reward in money, property, or any other thing of value for the purpose of procuring the successful candidate’s nomination or election or determining the result on any question submitted by referendum. The Florida Public Records Law and Election Code treat ballots as public records subject to public inspection and examination upon request. Any member of the public is entitled to inspect any or all of the ballots, however, only an employee of the supervisor of elections can touch the original ballot. In Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi gave a legal opinion regarding election challenges she said “Neither county funds nor funds available in the office budget of the supervisor of elections may be expended to defend a supervisor of election expending funds made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. Such litigation is personal to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in expending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. The unsuccessful candidate for the office of Broward County Commission District 2 can sue both the successful candidate in his individual capacity and the county canvassing board". It was allegedly reported by a witness that she saw Mr. Bogen committing alleged absentee ballot fraud himself when she witnessed him collecting and picking up absentee ballots in the Palm Aires community as an official candidate. We also alleged that Mr. Bogen exceeded Florida’s Campaign Finance Spending Limit Laws in the local election and placed other candidates who were not able to financially compete with his millions of dollars at a great disadvantage with him originally being a resident of West Palm Beach and not along-time resident of Broward County Commission District 2 a part of a single member district family. The principles behind single member districts. Single member districts allows voters living and residing within the district to have a voice on the Board of County Commission. In addition, we allege that Mr. Bogen and his paid campaign workers serving under the leadership of a Mr. Walter Hunter committed alleged absentee ballots fraud when Mr. Bogen and members of his team allegedly before 2 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001278 and/or during the election filled out and completed absentee ballots on behalf of voters. They went throughout the district with a ballot that had only Mr. Bogen’s name solely on the alleged fake absentee ballot that declared him as the only candidate in the District 2 race other campaigns such as Carmen Jones and Lisa Aronson allegedly followed suit. These acts or actions violated Florida Statutes 104.31, 104.061, 104.0616, 104.045, 104.047, 104.051, 104.0615, 104.071, and it confused voters even more thus violating collectively the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights of 1965 and the Equal Protection Clause. We allege that his act or actions and the failures of the Broward County Supervisor of Elections and Canvassing Board to certify this election properly upon him being reported to Dr. Brenda Snipes regarding his alleged absentee balloting fraud; helped disenfranchised voters and/or violated other relevant provisions of our election laws. F.S. 100.111 says Special primary elections are called by the Governor if no person has been elected at a general election to fill an office which was required to be filled by election at such general election, we do not believe that the election supervisor has that authority to call for a special primary election. We even allege that first during the 2014 August Primary Election Mr. Bogen allegedly paid voters $5.00 dollars to vote for him at the polls and during the December 4, 2014 Special Primary Election as alleged Mr. Bogen he gave voters allegedly rides to the polls and offer them gas cards for their votes. Mr. Bogen as an outsider and new comer to Broward politics received endorsements from numerous elected officials such as a Commissioner Woodrow Poitier and non-profit organizations such as Century Village Democratic Club President and Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church that was designed to help him sway the outcomes of this election in violation of F.S.104.31 and other related provisions of our election statutes. Therefore, we challenge Mr. Bogen’s legal residency at the time of his qualifying and we make mention again with complete emphasis that Mr. Bogen was not a long time resident of District 2. Florida's qualifying laws required in a single member districts that county's seats and boundaries are designated by the laws of the State of Florida. Mr. Bogen’s qualifying paperwork for the District 2 election should not have been accepted by the Supervisor of Elections office because he was not a long time resident at the time of his qualifying. The County Commission shall be composed of nine (9) 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001279 members elected from single a member districts and by County Charter Commissioners they are elected on a partisan basis and no other charter amendment that we are aware of states otherwise. We also challenge those absentee ballots returns that helped him be declared as the winner of the District 2 race. F.S. Chapter 101.62 states that paid staff must receive written authorization by affidavit and that the person turning in absentee ballots can only turn two absentee ballots per election. F.S. Chapter 101.62, we believe that due to alleged voters and conspiracy our election office may be experiencing some alleged violations of our absentee ballot laws. Again according to the law anyone turning in an absentee ballot for a voter who is not a family member must first have a written affidavit signed by the voter that gives the person on Mr. Bogen or Walter Hunter’s team as alleged paid staff persons written authorization by affidavit to turn the absentee ballot into the election office on behalf of the voter, we request those written affidavits from the election department. http://www.leg.state.fl.us/Statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&Search_String=&URL=01000199/0101/Sections/0101.62.html The law provides in F.S. Chapter 105 that after each and every election the Supervisor of Elections must prepare his or her report and forward the election results of that report to the Florida State Divisions of Elections after votes cast had been certified. So, I am now requesting a copy of the August 26, 2014 Primary Election Report that was prepared by the Broward County Supervisor of Elections and forwarded to the Florida State Department Division of Elections for our review. The allegations were based upon misconduct, fraud, corrupt election practices and ineligibility meeting the guidelines of the entire Fla. Stat. s. 102.168 which also identified that Mark Bogen may have been ineligible in 2014 to enter the Broward County Board of Commissioners District 2 race because at the time he lived in Palm Beach County and not Broward County, FL. In addition, according to the Plaintiff’s investigation in 2014 Mr. Mark Bogen property records showed his homestead or mortgage in 2014 was in Palm Beach County and not Broward County, FL. He also owned and ran a business in Palm Beach County as well where great number of his campaign contributors giving him contributions in excess of $1000.00 dollars also 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001280 lived and worked in Palm Beach County, FL. Whereas that gives the appears and/or suspects of 1. misconduct, 2. fraud, 3. corruption and 4. ineligibility. That the circuit court according to Fla. Stat. 102.168 (4), (5), (6) and (7) order all early voting elections ballots and all of the August 26, 2014 primary elections ballots and all of the December 4, 2014 special primary elections ballots to his chambers for manual inspection in order to determine based on the Florida Statute 102.168 did misconduct, fraud, corruption and ineligibility take place during the early voting on August 26, 2014 in a primary and special elections held December 4, 2014 concerning the election for Broward County Commission District 2 race. The court should instruct the Supervisor of Elections to release by court order these official records as provided in a statutory election contest requirement for early voting held on August 26, 2014 as well as all primary and special elections ballots not in compliance of Fla. Stat. 101.157, 102.168, 102.171, 102.121, and 102.141 for the Broward County Board of Commission, District 2 race as set forth by law enacted by Florida Legislature and/or by the law statutory authority for circuit courts to do so. Florida elections are protected by Florida Constitution Article I and VI, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, the 13th, 14th, 15th Amendment US Constitution and the Equal Protection Clause. Therefore it appears that this 2014 process was tainted by alleged corruption, conspiracy and voter’s fraud and we want to know the election department’s legal authority or constitution right to discard and toss votes out in an election giving Mr. Bogen the advantage. We believe this goes beyond a Supervisor of Elections constitutional or statutory duties and we believe that the election department actions disenfranchised voters in a Florida election by not information all of the voters or promoting the special primary election. Mr. Bogen in a low turnout special primary election which was not advertised and some voters never received a reminder notice of a special primary election from the election’s department which leaves questions as to how Mr. Bogen received well over 2000 absentee ballots votes in a low turnout election. RELIEF Wherefore, the Plaintiff Rubin Young requests that another primary election take place without 5 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001281 absentee ballots except given to those individuals stricken by disability or limitations as well as with the absence of Mr. Mark Bogen for his alleged 1. Misconduct, 2. Fraud, 3. Ineligibility and 4. Corrupt election practices. The Plaintiff Rubin Young that motion to amend original complaint be granted pursuant by F.R.C.P. Rule 1.190 for the reasons mentioned above. Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have read the foregoing mentioned and that the facts stated are true and correct.

See Fla. Stat. 102.168 (5), (6) and (7). 1 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001284 The Plaintiff is requesting permission to motion to amend complaint because by law Florida Governor Rick Scott and the Florida Election Canvassing Commission must be added as indispensable party defendant which can be found under Florida Rules of Civil Procedures 1.190 Amended and Supplemental Pleadings and Florida Statute 102.168 (4), (5), (6) and (7).

FULL TEXT 102.168 (1) Contest of election. — Except as provided in s. 102.171, the certification of election or nomination of any person to office, or of the result on any question submitted by referendum, may be contested in the circuit court by any unsuccessful candidate for such office or nomination thereto or by any elector qualified to vote in the election related to such candidacy, or by any taxpayer, respectively. (2) Such contestant shall file a complaint, together with the fees prescribed in chapter 28, with the clerk of the circuit court within 10 days after midnight of the date the last board responsible for certifying the results officially certifies the results of the election being contested. (3) The complaint shall set forth the grounds on which the contestant intends to establish his or her right to such office or set aside the result of the election on a submitted referendum. The grounds for contesting an election under this section are: (a) Misconduct, fraud, or corruption on the part of any election official or any member of the canvassing board sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. (b) Ineligibility of the successful candidate for the nomination or office in dispute. (c) Receipt of a number of illegal votes or rejection of a number of legal votes sufficient to change or place in doubt the result of the election. (d) Proof that any elector, election official, or canvassing board member was given or offered a bribe or reward in money, property, or any other thing of value for the purpose of procuring the successful candidate’s nomination or election or determining the result on any question submitted by referendum. (4) The canvassing board responsible for canvassing the election is an indispensable party defendant in county and local elections. The Elections Canvassing Commission is an indispensable party defendant in federal, state, and multicounty elections and in elections for justice of the Supreme Court, judge of a 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001286 district court of appeal, and judge of a circuit court. The successful candidate is an indispensable party to any action brought to contest the election or nomination of a candidate. (5) A statement of the grounds of contest may not be rejected, nor the proceedings dismissed, by the court for any want of form if the grounds of contest provided in the statement are sufficient to clearly inform the defendant of the particular proceeding or cause for which the nomination or election is contested. (6) A copy of the complaint shall be served upon the defendant and any other person named therein in the same manner as in other civil cases under the laws of this state. Within 10 days after the complaint has been served, the defendant must file an answer admitting or denying the allegations on which the contestant relies or stating that the defendant has no knowledge or information concerning the allegations, which shall be deemed a denial of the allegations, and must state any other defenses, in law or fact, on which the defendant relies. If an answer is not filed within the time prescribed, the defendant may not be granted a hearing in court to assert any claim or objection that is required by this subsection to be stated in an answer. (7) Any candidate, qualified elector, or taxpayer presenting such a contest to a circuit judge is entitled to an immediate hearing. However, the court in its discretion may limit the time to be consumed in taking testimony, with a view therein to the circumstances of the matter and to the proximity of any succeeding election. (8) In any contest that requires a review of the canvassing board’s decision on the legality of a vote-by- mail ballot pursuant to s. 101.68 based upon a comparison of the signature on the voter’s certificate and the signature of the elector in the registration records, the circuit court may not review or consider any evidence other than the signature on the voter’s certificate and the signature of the elector in the registration records. The court’s review of such issue shall be to determine only if the canvassing board abused its discretion in making its decision. An election is the process of choosing a person to fill an office. An election contest is a right of action conferred on every candidate to contest the certification of nomination 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001287 or the certificate of vote as made by the appropriate officials in any election[i]. It is a post-election contest between two competing candidates[ii]. Fraud, corruption, or irregularities in regard to the method of holding an election in a division can affect the entire vote. Thus, an election contest is a special proceeding created by the legislature to provide a remedy for elections tainted by fraud, illegality, or other irregularity[iii]. Generally, there are two types of election contests[iv]:  Motion seeking to oust and replace the certified winner; and  Motion seeking to declare an election void altogether. The fundamental purpose of an election contest is to ascertain the true will of the electorate[v]. Moreover, an election contest provides a simple and speedy means of contesting elections. Additionally, an election contest presupposes a full and fair litigation of election disputes in an expeditious manner[vi]. The remedy provided in an election contest is a statutory one and equity cannot be invoked to determine an election’s validity. An election can be contested only for matters that would impeach the fairness of the result. An election to any public office can be contested on the following grounds[vii]:  When illegal votes have been received;  When legal votes rejected at the polls, sufficient to change the result;  Where any error is committed by any board of canvassers in counting the votes or declaring the result of the election. There is no provision under the common law to contest an election. The right to contest an election exists only under the constitutional and statutory provisions. An election contest is a special statutory proceeding. One who seeks the benefit of a statutory proceeding must comply with all the procedural terms of the statute. Courts cannot exceed the provisions of applicable statutes in resolving election contests[viii]. Thus, the procedure proscribed by a state must be strictly followed in deciding election contests. The judicial determination of election contests requires strict adherence to the constitutional and statutory provisions in the various jurisdictions[ix]. All candidates have the right to protest the returns of 5 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001288 an election by filing a protest with the appropriate canvassing board[x]. In order to contest election results, the petitioner must show that the result of the election will be different in the absence of irregularities[xi]. A candidate intending to contest the election of a member of the House of Representatives must file a notice of his/her intention to contest the election with the Board of Canvassers within thirty days after the result of the election. S/he must serve a copy of notice upon the contestee[xii]. The court or board authorized by statute or the constitution has jurisdiction to hear an election contest. The jurisdictional facts must appear on the face of the proceedings. However, jurisdictional defects can be raised at any time[xiii]. A judge who may be affected by the result of the decision is disqualified from sitting in the hearing. The proper or necessary parties to election contest proceedings are usually prescribed by each statute. See Exhibit Exhibit A and B. “A” Date: August 23, 1977 Subject: Elections, contested elections and legal costs ELECTIONS--SUCCESSFUL CANDIDATE MAY NOT USE PUBLIC FUNDS TO DEFEND CONTESTED ELECTION RESULT To: Willie Mae Jones, Gilchrist County Supervisor of Elections, Trenton Prepared by: Patricia R. Gleason, Assistant Attorney General QUESTION: May county funds or funds available in the office budget of the supervisor of elections be expended to provide a defense for a supervisor of elections who has been made a party defendant in an election contest in his or her individual capacity as the successful candidate or nominee and where the county canvassing board of which such supervisor is a member is a party defendant as required by s. 102.161, F. S.? SUMMARY: 6 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001289 Neither county funds nor funds available in the office budget of the supervisor of elections may be expended to defend a supervisor of elections who has been made a party defendant as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. Such litigation is personal to the candidates involved and, therefore, the county has no interest in expending funds to defend the supervisor in such proceedings. According to your letter, you were made a party defendant in an election contest proceeding instituted pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S. That section provides in pertinent part: "The certification of election or nomination of any person to office may be contested in the circuit court . . . by any unsuccessful candidate for such office . . .. The successful candidate and the canvassing board or election board shall be the proper party defendants." (Emphasis supplied.) An examination of the complaint filed by the unsuccessful candidate for nomination to the office of supervisor of elections, a copy of which you have attached to your letter, reveals that you were made a party defendant in your individual capacity as the successful candidate for nomination to the office of supervisor of elections and that the county canvassing board was also made a party defendant as required by the terms of s. 102.161, F. S., above quoted. The complaint further reveals that no charges are made against or relief sought from the defendant canvassing board with respect to any act on the part of such board in carrying out its statutorily assigned duties and functions. (See ss. 101.68, 102.141, 102.151, and 102.166, F. S., as to the duties and functions of the county canvassing board.) To the contrary, the complaint alleges that the supervisor of elections unlawfully solicited the casting of absentee ballots. Thus, the complaint prays that "the returns from the absentee ballots in said election be rejected" and that the unsuccessful candidate be "declared the rightful winner of said election." The foregoing analysis of the allegations contained in the complaint makes clear that the action is simply an election contest predicated upon the validity of certain absentee votes and challenging the right of the successful candidate or nominee to hold the office to which she was elected. The question of whether or not public funds may properly be expended to provide a legal defense for the successful candidate in such an election contest proceeding has been recently considered by the court in Markham v. State by and Through the Department of Revenue, 298 So.2d 210 (1 D.C.A. Fla., 1974). The Markham case involved an election contest challenging the action of the Broward County Canvassing Board in canvassing and counting certain absentee ballots. The unsuccessful candidate for the office of Broward County Tax Assessor sued both the successful candidate in his individual capacity and the county canvassing board. The question under consideration by the court was whether or not the successful candidate for the office of tax assessor could use funds available in his office budget for legal expenses to pay attorneys he had retained to defend him in the election contest. In ruling that such an expenditure would be improper, the court held: 7 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001290 "The suit giving rise to the incurring of the attorney's fees was not against the [tax assessor] in his official capacity nor did it arise from a discharge of his official duties nor serve a public purpose. The suit was a pure and simple election contest relating to the validity of certain absentee votes. The questioned absentee votes were sufficient in number to affect the result of the election. Under the law of Florida as announced in cases too numerous to cite, had the contestant been successful in his attack upon the votes the appellant would have ceased to be tax assessor and his opponent would have taken office. The office, functions and duties of tax assessor would not have been in any manner altered. There would simply have been another man filling the position. The legal battle between the political contestants was purely personal. Each wanted to be tax assessor of Broward County and the challenged absentee votes furnished the key to the door." [298 So.2d at 212.] Accord: Peck v. Spencer, 7 So. 642, 644 (Fla. 1890) (town council was without authority to authorize the acting mayor to defend at the town's expense a suit which had been filed against the acting mayor by a defeated candidate to test the validity of the town election); Williams v. City of Miami, 42 So.2d 582 (Fla. 1949) (city had no interest in defending a suit arising out of a recall election); AGO's 071185 and 071-276. Applying the foregoing cases and Attorney General Opinions to your inquiry, it is my opinion that the expenditure of public funds, either from your office income or budgeted funds or county funds, to defend you in your capacity as the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to s. 102.161, F. S., would be improper. To the extent that the lawsuit represents a "legal battle" between an unsuccessful and a successful candidate or nominee to determine who is entitled to the office of supervisor of elections, it would appear that the outcome of such litigation is dependent upon the validity of the absentee ballots cast and is, therefore, personal to the candidates involved. Furthermore, no additional factors which would indicate sufficient public interest in the outcome of the election contest are made apparent from the face of the complaint. Compare Estes v. City of North Miami Beach, 227 So.2d 33, 34 (Fla. 1969), wherein the Supreme Court found that it was not an abuse of discretion for the city council to engage special counsel to defend a law suit filed against four of the seven members of the city council and the city attorney by a defeated candidate for city councilman. The court held that the challenged appropriation of municipal funds to pay such special counsel must be considered in light of the following facts: a majority of the city council were defendants in the law suit; the plaintiff sought a judicial construction of the provisions of the municipal election code and an injunction against the defendants restraining them from performing all their official duties on behalf of the municipality other than legislative action. See also Miller v. Carbonelli, 80 So.2d 909 (Fla. 1955), holding that the town council was authorized to engage an attorney to defend the mayor in a quo warranto proceeding brought by one councilman against the new mayor elected by the council from their own number challenging both 8 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001291 the right of the newly elected mayor to assume office and the action of the council electing him where "the issue not only immediately and directly affected the proper governance and administration of village affairs but the official action of the councilmen as electors was challenged." The fact that the supervisor of elections is a member of the county canvassing board does not alter the conclusion set forth above. Section 102.161, supra, requires that the canvassing board be made a party defendant, as an entity, to an election contest proceeding brought pursuant to that section. The members of such canvassing board, therefore, are only nominal defendants who are required to be joined by statute. [It should be noted that the Legislature has recently amended s. 102.141, F. S., to provide for the replacement of a member of the county canvassing board if such member is unable to serve or "is a candidate who has opposition in the election being canvassed or is an active participant in the campaign or candidacy of any candidate who has opposition in the election being canvassed . . .." Section 26 of Ch. 77-175, Laws of Florida, effective January 1, 1978. With specific regard to the supervisor of elections, s. 26 of Ch. 77-175 provides that if the supervisor of elections is unable to serve or is disqualified pursuant to the section, then the chairman of the board of county commissioners shall appoint a member of the board of county commissioners who is not a candidate with opposition in the election being canvassed; however, the supervisor is required to act in an advisory capacity to the canvassing board.] Cf. State ex rel. Hutchins v. Taylor, 143 So. 754, 757 (Fla. 1932), holding that, in the absence of statutory authorization, a county judge cannot be replaced as a member of the canvassing board because he is a candidate in the election canvassed. The duties imposed upon the county canvassing board "to canvass the returns of a[n] . . . election is ministerial in their nature, involving no discretion." (Emphasis supplied.) State ex rel. Knott v. Haskill, 72 So. 651 (Fla. 1916); See also State ex rel. Peacock v. Latham, 170 So. 472 (Fla. 1936). Accordingly, a county canvassing board possesses no authority to pass upon the regularity of an election or the qualifications of persons thereat. State v. McLin, 16 Fla. 17 (1876). County canvassers have no power to go beyond the inspectors' returns except to determine their genuineness, nor may the canvassing board reject returns which are genuine on their face. State ex rel. Bisbee v. Board of Canvassers of Alachua County, 17 Fla. 9 (1878). Applying these principles to your inquiry, it is clear that the canvassing board is not authorized to determine whether or not the supervisor of elections unlawfully solicited absentee ballots; such a determination can only be made by the judiciary by means of the election contest. Thus, while the county is authorized to defend the canvassing board as an entity in an election contest (see AGO 068-70), neither county funds nor funds budgeted in the office account of the supervisor of elections may be used to defend the supervisor of elections who was the successful candidate or nominee in an election contest predicated on the validity of absentee ballots, which absentee ballots were alleged to have been unlawfully solicited by the supervisor of elections. Your question is accordingly answered in the negative. 9 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001292 Exhibit “B” Number: AGO 93-48 Date: July 29, 1993 Subject: Inspection of ballots The Honorable Fred Galey Supervisor of Elections Brevard County Post Office Box 1119 Titusville, Florida 32781-1119 RE: RECORDS--ELECTIONS--SUPERVISOR OF ELECTIONS--individual may take notes during inspection of ballots but may not touch ballots. s. 119.07 (1992 Supp.) and s. 101.5615, F.S. Dear Mr. Galey: You ask substantially the following question: Is an individual or group inspecting ballots pursuant to Ch. 119, F.S., precluded from counting votes for an individual candidate in any precinct or race? In sum: An individual or group is entitled to inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 119.07, F.S. (1992 Supp.) prohibits any person other than the supervisor of elections or his employees from touching the ballots. The notes or count taken by the individual or group do not constitute a recount of ballots for purposes of the Florida Election Code. According to the information provided to this office, the Supervisor of Elections of Brevard County has received a request to examine and count certain selected precinct ballots of the 1992 general election. You are concerned that individuals, by counting the ballots during their inspection pursuant to Ch. 119, F.S., will be conducting a recount of the ballots. Initially, I would note that this opinion is confined to a consideration of your responsibilities under Ch. 119, F.S., the Public Records Law. Any question arising under the Florida Election Code, Chs. 97-106, F.S., should be addressed to the Division of Elections in the Department of State, which is authorized to render advisory opinions regarding the interpretation of the Election Code. 10 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001293 It is a general policy of this state that the records of the state and local government shall be open for inspection by any person. Such a right of access is now recognized in our State Constitution. Pursuant to s. 119.07(1)(a), F.S. (1992 Supp.), every person having custody of a public record "shall permit the record to be inspected and examined by any person desiring to do so, at any reasonable time, under reasonable conditions, and under supervision by the custodian of the public record or his designee." Only those public records which are provided by law to be confidential or which are prohibited from being inspected by the public, whether by general or special law, are exempt from the disclosure provisions of s. 119.07(1), F.S. (1992 Supp.). I am not aware of, nor have you drawn my attention to, any provision of law which makes ballots or ballot stubs confidential or exempt from disclosure. Section 119.07(1)(c) F.S. (1992 Supp.), however, provides: "When ballots are produced under this section for inspection or examination, no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his employees shall touch the ballots. The supervisor of elections shall make a reasonable effort to notify all candidates by telephone or otherwise of the time and place of the inspection or examination. All such candidates, or their representatives, shall be allowed to be present during the inspection or examination." While s. 119.07(1)(c), F.S. (1992 Supp.), places restrictions on who may handle the ballots, it does not remove the ballots from the inspection requirement of s. 119.07(1), F.S. (1992 Supp.). Nor am I aware of any provision restricting full inspection of the ballots other than the restriction contained in section 119.07(1)(c), F.S. (1992 Supp.), that no persons other than the supervisor of elections or his or her employees may touch the ballots. This office has previously stated that a custodian of public records may not impose a rule or condition on inspection which operates to restrict or circumvent a person's right of access. You have expressed your concern that individuals making notations or counting ballots during their inspection of such ballots pursuant to s. 119.07(1)(c), F.S. (1992 Supp.), would constitute a recount of such ballots in violation of the Florida Election Code. While questions involving the interpretation of the election code should be addressed to the Division of Elections, I would note that s. 101.5615, F.S., states that recounts and election contests shall be conducted as provided for in the election code. Section 102.166, F.S., provides for the protest of election returns and the recounting of ballots. Clearly, therefore, any notations or count made by individuals during their inspection of the ballots or ballot stubs 11 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001294 pursuant to s. 119.07(1), F.S. (1992 Supp.), would not constitute a recount of the election returns and, thus, could not be used to challenge the results of an election under the Florida Election Code. I cannot, however, conclude that the provisions of the Florida Election Code which requires that a recount of election returns shall be as prescribed in the code imposes a limitation or restriction on the inspection of the ballots under Ch. 119, F.S., by prohibiting an individual from taking notes while inspecting such ballots. Moreover, an individual requesting access to inspect such records under Chapter 119, Florida Statutes, need not show a special interest or legitimate interest in the public record before being allowed to inspect the records. As the court stated in Lorei v. Smith, the legislative objective underlying the creation of chapter 119 was to insure to the people of Florida the right freely to gain access to governmental records. The purpose for such inquiry is immaterial. Nor may an agency refuse to allow inspection on the grounds that the request is overbroad or extensive. The courts have recognized that the breadth of the right to inspect is virtually unfettered, save for statutory exemptions. If, however, the nature or volume of the records to be inspected is such as to require extensive clerical or supervisory assistance, or both, s. 119.07(1)(b), F.S. (1992 Supp.), authorizes the imposition of a special service charge. Such charge must be reasonable and must be based upon the actual labor cost of the personnel providing the service incurred by the agency. Accordingly, I am of the opinion that an individual or group is entitled to inspect the ballots and may take notes regarding the number of votes cast. Section 119.07, F.S. (1992 Supp.), however, prohibits any person other than the supervisor of elections or his employees from touching the ballots. Moreover, the notes or count taken by such individual or group do not constitute a recount of ballots for purposes of the Florida Election Code. Sincerely, Robert A.

Sincerely, Rubin Young On Monday, May 14, 2018 05:12:50 PM, Rubin Young wrote: I ICE Immigration Crackdown WASHINGTON (AP) — Immigration officials have sharply increased audits of companies to verify that their employees are authorized to work in the country, signaling the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration is reaching deeper into the workplace to create a "culture of compliance" among employers who rely on immigrant labor. Expansive plans also have been drafted for a long-term push to scrutinize employers' hiring practices more closely. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001299 Under a 1986 federal law, companies must verify their employees are authorized to work in the United States by reviewing their documents and verifying to the government the employees' identity and work authorization. If employers are found to hire someone without proper documents, the employers may be subject to administrative fines and, in some cases, criminal prosecution. The recent focus on employers comes after a surge of deportation arrests of workers that started immediately after Trump took office in January 2017. The crackdown is likely to please immigration hawks among Trump's supporters but may alienate industries and companies that rely on immigrant labor. There were 2,282 employer audits opened between Oct. 1 and May 4, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday, nearly a 60 percent jump from the 1,360 audits opened between October 2016 and September 2017. Many of those reviews were launched following the January ICE audits and employee interviews at about 100 7-Eleven franchises in 17 states. There were 594 employers arrested on criminal immigration charges from Oct. 1 to May 4, up from 139 during the previous fiscal year, and 610 civil immigration charges during the same period, compared to 172 in the preceding 12-months. Derek Benner, head of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, told The Associated Press that another nationwide wave of audits planned this summer would push the total "well over" 5,000 by Sept 30. ICE audits peaked at 3,127 in 2013. The agency has developed a plan to open as many as 15,000 audits a year, subject to funding and support for the plan from other areas of the administration, Benner said. The proposal calls for creation of an Employer Compliance Inspection Center to perform employer audits at a single location instead of at regional offices around the country, Benner said. Electronically scanning the documents will help flag suspicious activity, and the most egregious cases will be farmed out to regional offices for more investigation. Audit notices will be served electronically or by certified mail, instead of in person. Benner said that putting up to 250 auditors in one center with the right technology and a team of attorneys to quickly levy fines would enable his agency to audit between 10,000 and 15,000 companies annually. The proposal aims to create a "reasonable expectation" among employers that they will be audited, Benner said. "This is kind of our vision of creating this culture of compliance," he said. "I think it's a game-changer." In October, Thomas Homan, ICE's acting director, pledged to increase workplace enforcement by "four or five times," opening a new front in an immigration crackdown that includes a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and initial funding for a border wall with Mexico. In April, ICE agents made 97 arrests at a meatpacking plant in rural Tennessee with a helicopter flying above, reminiscent of the high-profile shows of force that were common during President George W. Bush's administration. Benner said the agency will focus both on criminal cases against employers as well deporting employees who in the country illegally. Illegal hiring creates unfair advantages for companies, encourages people to come to the U.S. illegally, results in document and identity fraud and exposes workers to potentially dangerous conditions without overtime pay or health insurance, he said. It remains to be seen whether immigration authorities can perform enough audits to compel a similar degree of compliance that the Internal Revenue Service does on personal and corporate tax returns. One measure may be the number of employees who voluntarily enroll in the federal government's EVerify system to electronically confirm if a person is authorized to work in the U.S. Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

If you think not because it sound foreign then may be the country can work together on issues dividing us such as illegal immigrants & violations of PL 88452, 92424, 93644 & 95568. They are known as the Economic Opportunity Acts and Amendments and the Community Service Act of 1974 which are the supreme laws of the land sir. If we can do anything on the ground please let us know. We'll even use the organization or natural born people to become bounty hunters and track down those illegal immigrants and/or non citizens serving in elected offices and public administrations. Individuals who may be passing laws supporting a different agency and creating an environment for the purposes of overthrowing America or (Trumpica) in the future. Keep up the good work sir, we know they are trying to turn the country against you like they did Richard Nixon in order to impeach you. There are a lot of bad people who have gotten hold of our governments foreigners and others and they are not letting go without a serious attempt from us to stop the take over sir within America. They are stealing America with election fraud for example Miami Dade County and the City of Miami, have what is known as 14 days voting or early voting for various elected positions. There is no Florida election laws that grant this power of a 14 days election or early voting, yet foreign born citizens use this election method to give the advantage of primary and/or general elections to well financed candidates. This is a condition of involuntary servitude in violation of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Nonetheless, you can't complain about it because foreigners or illegal immigrants run all governments which make you feel you're living in concentration camps or prison as a native and natural born black American or others. ICE must investigate and verify the people who are working in all county and city governments because immigration laws in order to work for federal, state and local governments you must be a United States citizen and that doesn't appear to be the case here in Miami Dade County, Florida, sir. There is no justice in our courts because foreigners have taken over almost all the circuit and court judges position and foreign lawyers make up evidence to people natural born citizens in prison, like the invasion of the body snatchers. We need to know if these foreign citizens serving in elected officials are in fact Americans, if not sir they should be removed from our governments immediately and deported for breaking immigration law. Sir, we request that the ICE investigation include the following, Miami Dade County Mayors and staff, City Mayors and staff, Circuit and County Court judges and staff, State Representatives and staff, State Senators and staff, School Superintendents, Board Members and staff, Democratic Party and Republican Party Chairpersons and staff, County and City Commissioners and staff, County and City Managers and staff, County and City Clerks and staff, City Council members and staff and/or alike, let's make America great again together sir and let American hand do the construction here at home and no one else who will claim that America was built by foreign laborers. We thank you for your time and for your service to our country sir and thank you for listening Mr. President, I know your hands are tied and you can't focus on these issues. If you have any questions or wish that we appear before any hearings to testify whether or not natural born Americans citizens are being abused by foreigners in local government or placed in mental or psychological prisons we stand ready and available, please let us know sir.

FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001302 May 15, 2018 President Donald Trump Office of the President The White House Washington, DC 201510 RE: Official Report Dear Mr. President, I would like to begin by saying Good morning Mr. President. Sir, I have written you for over a year now regarding election fraud existing in Miami Dade County and throughout the state of Florida. Well, sir I am providing you an article posted by a South Florida Sun Sentinel reporter named Larry Barszewski. Sir, this one case but there are many other cases that I have been involved with concerning election fraud, but my efforts have been to no avail because the local elected officials and political parties control the electoral process in both Dade and Broward County. Sir, please have your staff review case numbers CACE14023676, United States Supreme Court case #17-6620, Florida Statute 101.657, and State of Florida’s “A compilation of the Election Laws – Florida Department of Elections http://dos.myflorida.com/media/698123/election-laws-2016.pdf. As Mr. Barszewski reported so honestly and full of integrity sir election fraud is running rampant in the tri-counties and it must be stopped dead in its track or this country will be taken over or over thrown by the stealing of America and foreign invaders. Also, there is no 14 days early voting within Florida Laws and that discretionary process are being violated by local supervisors to give the competitive edge to either well-financed campaigns or to foreign or non-citizens win over their opponents. See Fla. Stat. s. 101.657. Sir, local election supervisors like Brenda Snipes who is closer to the review and election compliances are the real enemies to our country republican democracy because they are not enforcing our election laws and they are allowing a great number of non-citizens to vote in national elections which federal immigration laws prohibits sir. Mr. President, I am requesting in an effort to send a blow in both Miami Dade and Broward County election fraud dynasty that you contact the governor and demand that she be removed from office immediately sir. That message sir must be felt all over the State of Florida and your administration must save America from the very destructive evils of election fraud and/or the stealing of America by enemies of our democratic elections or democracy. Lastly, sir in 2016, Miami Dade County Clerk of Court Harvey Ruvin did not legally win legitimately the race we both campaigned which I sought to become Miami Dade County First African American Clerk of the Circuit Courts and County Clerk in non-partisan 2016 general election. 1 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001303 Sir, this same illegal election fraud process in Broward County reared its ugly head also in Miami Dade County in 2016 where another election supervisor named Ms. Christina White permitted or placed Mr. Harvey Ruvin’s democratic political party affiliations on all general election ballots countywide in a non-partisan election. I made her aware of this violation prior to the 2016 general elections which impacted my race, but she also permitted him and/or numerous organizations to put on their illegal slates or materials his democratic political party affiliations during the November 8, 2018 non-partisan general elections which is illegal sir. Mr. President, there is no elected official or person we can turn too in the tricounty not even going to the Governor will be that resolve sir. We need comprehensive election reforms that take elections out of the hands of the government in put them into the hands of an independent election board that is supported by your administration or some other federal agency. Sir, Brenda Snipes and Christina White must be removed from office or you will have a difficult time in Florida during your reelection in 2020. Sir, immigration laws prohibited non-citizens or green card holders from voting in our national Congressional or Presidential elections, but these two individuals commit treason by allowing non-citizens to vote in national elections. Sir, this election fraud scheme is very powerful and the alleged corrupt people overseeing our elections have strong political backing throughout the tri-counties, and because almost every elected official or candidate is eating from the tree of election fraud and they like how that illegal fruit taste. Those remaining true to our democracy fight against this election fraud and absentee ballot evil until the right President of these United States is born and God send him or her to help us. I thank you and your administration for your time and dedicated services. May God bless you and your family.

It could also cost the elections office more than $200,000 to pay attorney’s fees for Tim Canova, the defeated candidate who sued the office. The decision stems from Canova’s bid to unseat Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz in the Democratic primary, a race he lost convincingly, at about 57 percent to 43 percent, or 28,809 votes to 21,907. Canova, who was checking for voting irregularities in the race, sought to look at the paper ballots in March 2017 and took Elections Supervisor Brenda Snipes to court three months later when her office hadn’t fulfilled his request. Snipes approved the destruction of the ballots in September, signing a certification that said no court cases involving the ballots were pending. Snipes called the action a “mistake” during testimony she gave in the case, saying the boxes were mislabeled and there was “nothing on my part that was intentional” about destroying the contested ballots. “When I sign, I sign folders filled with information,” Snipes said in her testimony, later adding: “I trust my staff. They have the responsibility of giving me information that’s correct.” Congressional candidate Tim Canova Brenda Snipes Circuit Judge Raag Singhal ruled Friday that Snipes wrongly destroyed public records because: — The elections office is required to maintain the ballots in federal elections for 22 months, while Snipes destroyed the ballots after 12 months, which is the retention period for state elections. — The ballots were the subject of a pending lawsuit, so it would take a court order from the judge in the case to allow their destruction. Snipes “has not presented any evidence refuting that the public records sought were destroyed while this case was pending before this court,” Singhal said. Snipes will appeal the decision, said her attorney, Burnadette Norris-Weeks. “We think the judge is wrong,” Norris-Weeks said. 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001305 The elections office never refused to provide access to the ballots, she said. Instead, it rejected a request by Canova to use outside equipment to scan the ballots, Norris-Weeks said. Also, it didn’t receive a partial payment to cover the costs of the public records request until days before the suit was filed and the scanned copies of the ballots it can currently provide are “accurate and inherently reliable,” she said. “It was a mistake [destroying the original ballots], but the ballots were preserved,” Norris-Weeks said. “They were scanned shortly after the election.” It’s not known if the judge’s ruling would lead to any charges. A spokeswoman for Broward State Attorney Michael Satz said the office had not been aware of the ruling, but would obtain a copy of the judge’s order and look into it. Canova said he contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation twice in recent months prior to the judge’s ruling because it appeared federal ballot retention requirements were violated, but he said he has received no response from the agency. The ruling does allow Canova to have the attorney fees he has paid be reimbursed by the elections office. Leonard Collins, his attorney, said those costs exceed $200,000 already. Canova has also gotten the state to take interest in his case. The governor’s office said the state election monitoring will be so “the citizens of Broward County can have the efficient, properly run election they deserve.” “The Secretary of State’s office will continue to ensure that every Supervisor of Elections understands and follows the law,” the governor’s statement said. Norris-Weeks said she isn’t sure what type of monitoring is envisioned and sees it as an effort by Republican state leaders to get some control over the heavily Democratic county. Canova, who is a professor at Nova Southeastern University, would like to see Snipes lose her job. 4 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001306 “I think dismissal is an appropriate remedy,” Canova said. The judge’s ruling cited a previous case that held “dismissal was an appropriate sanction for failing to preserve evidence ‘even though the destruction of evidence may have resulted from negligence rather than an attempt to obstruct justice.’” Collins said Snipes failed in one of her most important duties. “He was absolutely stonewalled by the supervisor of elections,” Collins said of Canova. “When they were required to provide the records to us, they destroyed them.” Canova, who had planned a primary rematch against Wasserman Schultz this year, announced in April that he was leaving the Democratic Party. He is running in the race in November as a candidate with no party affiliation. lbarszewski@SunSentinel.com, 954-356-4556 or Twitter @lbarszewski 5 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001307 Re: Request Meeting with President Trump's Administration Rubin Young [commtrus@yahoo.com] Sent: To: Tuesday, May 15, 2018 12:42 PM Donald J.

His article reports election fraud committed by election supervisor a Mrs. Brenda Snipes in Broward County. I pray that you order that she be removed immediately from that office sir by Governor Rick Scott. Election fraud is the stealing of America and it should be deemed treason and those committed election and absentee balloting fraud should have treason charges brought against them for eroding our republican democracy sir.

Please review the attached official report. Sincerely, Rubin Young On Monday, May 14, 2018 05:12:50 PM, Rubin Young wrote: I ICE Immigration Crackdown WASHINGTON (AP) — Immigration officials have sharply increased audits of companies to verify that their employees are authorized to work in the country, signaling the Trump administration's crackdown on illegal immigration is reaching deeper into the workplace to create a "culture of compliance" among employers who rely on immigrant labor. Expansive plans also have been drafted for a long-term push to scrutinize employers' hiring practices more closely. Under a 1986 federal law, companies must verify their employees are authorized to work in the United States by reviewing their documents and verifying to the government the employees' identity and work authorization. If employers are found to hire someone without proper documents, the employers may be subject to administrative fines and, in some cases, criminal prosecution. The recent focus on employers comes after a surge of deportation arrests of workers that started immediately after Trump took office in January 2017. The crackdown is likely to please immigration hawks among Trump's supporters but may alienate industries and companies that rely on immigrant labor. There were 2,282 employer audits opened between Oct. 1 and May 4, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Monday, nearly a 60 percent jump from the 1,360 audits opened between October 2016 and September 2017. Many of those reviews were launched following the January ICE audits and employee interviews at about 100 7-Eleven franchises in 17 states. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001308 There were 594 employers arrested on criminal immigration charges from Oct. 1 to May 4, up from 139 during the previous fiscal year, and 610 civil immigration charges during the same period, compared to 172 in the preceding 12-months. Derek Benner, head of ICE's Homeland Security Investigations unit, told The Associated Press that another nationwide wave of audits planned this summer would push the total "well over" 5,000 by Sept 30. ICE audits peaked at 3,127 in 2013. The agency has developed a plan to open as many as 15,000 audits a year, subject to funding and support for the plan from other areas of the administration, Benner said. The proposal calls for creation of an Employer Compliance Inspection Center to perform employer audits at a single location instead of at regional offices around the country, Benner said. Electronically scanning the documents will help flag suspicious activity, and the most egregious cases will be farmed out to regional offices for more investigation. Audit notices will be served electronically or by certified mail, instead of in person. Benner said that putting up to 250 auditors in one center with the right technology and a team of attorneys to quickly levy fines would enable his agency to audit between 10,000 and 15,000 companies annually. The proposal aims to create a "reasonable expectation" among employers that they will be audited, Benner said. "This is kind of our vision of creating this culture of compliance," he said. "I think it's a game-changer." In October, Thomas Homan, ICE's acting director, pledged to increase workplace enforcement by "four or five times," opening a new front in an immigration crackdown that includes a 40 percent increase in deportation arrests and initial funding for a border wall with Mexico. In April, ICE agents made 97 arrests at a meatpacking plant in rural Tennessee with a helicopter flying above, reminiscent of the high-profile shows of force that were common during President George W. Bush's administration. Benner said the agency will focus both on criminal cases against employers as well deporting employees who in the country illegally. Illegal hiring creates unfair advantages for companies, encourages people to come to the U.S. illegally, results in document and identity fraud and exposes workers to potentially dangerous conditions without overtime pay or health insurance, he said. It remains to be seen whether immigration authorities can perform enough audits to compel a similar degree of compliance that the Internal Revenue Service does on personal and corporate tax returns. One measure may be the number of employees who voluntarily enroll in the federal government's EVerify system to electronically confirm if a person is authorized to work in the U.S. Copyright 2018 The Associated Press.

If you think not because it sound foreign then may be the country can work together on issues dividing us such as illegal immigrants & violations of PL 88452, 92424, 93644 & 95568. They are known as the Economic Opportunity Acts and Amendments and the Community Service Act of 1974 which are the supreme laws of the land sir. FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001309 If we can do anything on the ground please let us know. We'll even use the organization or natural born people to become bounty hunters and track down those illegal immigrants and/or non citizens serving in elected offices and public administrations. Individuals who may be passing laws supporting a different agency and creating an environment for the purposes of overthrowing America or (Trumpica) in the future. Keep up the good work sir, we know they are trying to turn the country against you like they did Richard Nixon in order to impeach you. There are a lot of bad people who have gotten hold of our governments foreigners and others and they are not letting go without a serious attempt from us to stop the take over sir within America. They are stealing America with election fraud for example Miami Dade County and the City of Miami, have what is known as 14 days voting or early voting for various elected positions. There is no Florida election laws that grant this power of a 14 days election or early voting, yet foreign born citizens use this election method to give the advantage of primary and/or general elections to well financed candidates. This is a condition of involuntary servitude in violation of the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment of the United States Constitution. Nonetheless, you can't complain about it because foreigners or illegal immigrants run all governments which make you feel you're living in concentration camps or prison as a native and natural born black American or others. ICE must investigate and verify the people who are working in all county and city governments because immigration laws in order to work for federal, state and local governments you must be a United States citizen and that doesn't appear to be the case here in Miami Dade County, Florida, sir. There is no justice in our courts because foreigners have taken over almost all the circuit and court judges position and foreign lawyers make up evidence to people natural born citizens in prison, like the invasion of the body snatchers. We need to know if these foreign citizens serving in elected officials are in fact Americans, if not sir they should be removed from our governments immediately and deported for breaking immigration law. Sir, we request that the ICE investigation include the following, Miami Dade County Mayors and staff, City Mayors and staff, Circuit and County Court judges and staff, State Representatives and staff, State Senators and staff, School Superintendents, Board Members and staff, Democratic Party and Republican Party Chairpersons and staff, County and City Commissioners and staff, County and City Managers and staff, County and City Clerks and staff, City Council members and staff and/or alike, let's make America great again together sir and let American hand do the construction here at home and no one else who will claim that America was built by foreign laborers. We thank you for your time and for your service to our country sir and thank you for listening Mr. President, I know your hands are tied and you can't focus on these issues. If you have any questions or wish that we appear before any hearings to testify whether or not natural born Americans citizens are being abused by foreigners in local government or placed in mental or psychological prisons we stand ready and available, please let us know sir.

Sir with that being said there is nothing in the Constitution that carry over to the permanency of your now serving as the President of the United States, the Constitution doesn't apply to private citizens. Hillary Clinton could have file a complaint against you with the federal election commission. Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (52 U.S.C. 30101 et seq.), Commission regulations (Title 11 of the Code of Federal Regulations), Commission advisory opinions and applicable court decisions. This is where complaints are filed against a candidate for breaking election laws sir. You don't wait until the person become President to file charges against a candidate, once the oath is taken the election is over. You must file within the timelines. Any person may file a complaint if he or she believes a violation of the federal election campaign laws or Commission regulations has occurred or is about to occur. The complaint must be made in writing and submitted to the Office of General Counsel, Federal Election Commission, 999 E Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20463. The original must be submitted, along with three copies, if possible. Upon receipt of the complaint, O.G.C. circulates a copy to each Commissioner. Facsimile or e-mail transmissions are not acceptable. A complaint must comply with certain requirements. See 2 U.S.C. § 437g(a)(1); 11 CFR 111.4(a)-(d). A complaint must: • Provide the full name and address of the complainant. Sir it's a distraction to keep your administration from looking into election fraud committed by parties over the years and to stop your attempts in cleaning it up. Election fraud does exist especially in Miami Dade FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001311 County. Just talk to people like Mary L. Hill, Sybel W. Lee, Dr. James Bush III and Rubin Young, people who they tell you not to sir, which you should talk to disgruntled people. They will tell you the truth about a problem. Sir, what they are doing is unconstitutional and you did nothing wrong for them to be talking impeachment. See President Nixon was framed by the corruption in federal government. Sir he and congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr. joined efforts to fight the abuses of earmarked antipoverty funds within CAAs. Records show both parties became angry and wanted their blood. Mr. Nixon became concerned and wanted to know his enemies so he wired up the Whitehouse which proved fatal sir. Sir, I and many others believe you are there for a reason and we believe that God heard our prayers and sent another Moses to set us free. We are suffering in Miami, FL as we speak because those fighting you maybe illegal immigrants in elected offices and they are the ones wanting your blood. We see how foreign born citizens dominates Miami's governments and it's an ideal worthy of exploration. Sir, what we as a people must do is rally the country to vote and undue whatever unconstitutional scheme these corrupt participants commit and we must take away their powers by rewriting the US Constitution. Putting in more safeguards of deterrent as well as defining the permanent citizens rights of natural born blacks that also enforces Public laws 88452, 92424, 93644 and 95568 which stop foreign citizens from blocking Mrs. Mary L. Hill, from her official duties as National Regional Community Service Administration Director. So she can fulfill her role of alleviating poverty and approving all earmarked anti-poverty funds under Economic Opportunity Acts of 1964 thru 1978. We thank you for your time and service.

Don't give monies to countries with the potential of overthrowing us. Sir have Homeland security launch an investigation into foreign born elected officials who may be illegal immigrants. We need easier ways to check citizenship statuss. We suspect alot of non citizens or illegal immigrants are serving in elected offices changing our laws to promote their agendas which may be to overthrow the country. We understand sir but ICE or Homeland Security should take the names from the registry and track where these green card holders and illegal immigrants are today see how many of our green card holders, illegal immigrantss or non citizens are US citizens over a 5 year time span. 5 or 10 years is more than enough time to become a citizen and if they are not citizens they should be deported out of the United States immediately sir. Sir immigration law says only US citizens can serve as elected officials and work for federal and state governments. However in Miami Dade County that are allowed by local government to work in restricted positions and they now they control election offices, political parties and dominate and serve in almost all elected positions knowing they are not US citizens. Sir if we move slowly they will have enough time to create false and misleading citizenship documents and this will be a missed opportunity in making America great again for native and natural born Americans. A people suffering and demoralized by the involuntary servitude these foreigners have placed Americans into living in Miami Dade County and beyond. Please also enforce by executive order Public Laws 88452, 92424, 93644 and 95568. Tell Congress and Miami Dade County to stop interfering with the official duties of Mrs. Mary L. Hill, Founder EOPI and National Regional Community Service Administration Director by our supreme laws of the land and authority given to her to approve all earmarked antipoverty funds within the U.S..

REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 1: All records and communications relating to the creation or revision of the Certifications of List Maintenance and other documents produced FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001321 by Defendant on March 8, 2017, which included the documents attached to this request as Exhibit A. RESPONSE: Using Plaintiff’s broad interpretation of discovery contemplated by the Court’s March 27, 2017 Order -- as argued by Plaintiff’s counsel during the deposition of Dr. Brenda Snipes on or about April 26, 2017, the following documents are hereby provided: 1. a) 3/28/2014 email from Dr. Brenda Snipes to employees regarding Project Integrity, including a 3/272014 Memorandum from Ken Detzner, Secretary of State RE: Project Integrity; b) Election Date Calendar 2015-2017 from the Florida Division of Elections. See Exhibit “A”. REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 2: All records showing the number of total registered voters, both active and inactive, in Broward County for each month during the time periods covered by the Certifications of List Maintenance and other documents produced by Defendant on March 8, 2017, attached as Exhibit A. These time periods include: July-Dec 2011, July-Dec 2012, July-Dec 2013, Jan-June 2014, July-Dec 2015, July-Dec 2016. RESPONSE: Active voters by month for the periods requested are available on the Supervisor of Elections website: browardsoe.org. Instructions: Go to the website and look under Election Information and then Voter Statistics. Inactive voters are not available on the website. Inactive voters become active or ineligible at various points in time. The VR System is constantly updating and inactive voters are no longer available in the format requested in its entirety. Some reports were captured and could 2 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001322 be considered responsive. Those reports were sent in a separate DROPBOX document from Jorge Nunez on 5/5/17. REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 3: Invoices or other records showing the purported mass-mailings, NCOA mailings, and targeted mailings done in July-Dec 2011 and July-Dec 2012. In her opposition to Plaintiff’s Motion to Compel and Re-Open Discovery, Defendant Snipes represented that the mass mailings in the revised certifications "came as no surprise" to ACRU because they were "shown by discovery" and "documents were sent and received from Commercial Printing." No documents whatsoever have been received by ACRU correlating to purported mass-mailings done in 2011 or 2012. RESPONSE: Objection to the extent that the Court’s Order relates specifically to documents from 2013 forward. Objection to the extent that the question is confusing. Without waiving said objection, any and all responsive records have been produced or are no longer available. Deposition testimony has clearly revealed that (at all relevant times) mass mailings were conducted on a regular and consistent basis as required by law. Hundreds of invoices have been previously provided showing mass-mailings, NCOA mailings, and targeted mailings performed by Defendant Snipes. 3 FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001323 REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 4: All records and communications relating to the production to ACRU in discovery of the Certifications of List Maintenance and other documents produced by Defendant on March 8, 2017, attached as Exhibit A. RESPONSE: See attached all available records for the periods requested in the DROPBOX email from Jorge Nunez dated 5/5/17. REQUEST FOR PRODUCTION NO. 5: All records and communications relating to the filing of the Certifications of List Maintenance and other documents produced by Defendant on March 8, 2017, attached as Exhibit A, with the State of Florida and the relevant state agencies.

Snipes November 26, 2018 Dear President Donald Trump, The Heritage Foundation reported in 2010 a study of the United States Constitution. The President is not a federal employee and should not be subjected to a federal independent counsel statute that violates the separation of powers clause. The report says: "A fundamental principle of the United States government, whereby powers and responsibilities are divided among the legislative branch, executive branch, and judicial branch. The officials of each branch are selected by different procedures and serve different terms of office; each branch may choose to block action of the other branches through the system of checks and balances. The framers of the Constitution designed this system to ensure that no one branch would accumulate too much power and that issues of public policy and welfare would be given comprehensive consideration before any action was taken.." Please review report below: The report said "Those who have not done so recently would benefit from studying what the United States Constitution says about the federal government’s responsibility to provide for the common defense. Most Americans had to memorize the preamble to the Constitution when they were children, so they are aware that one of the purposes of the FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001328 document was to “provide for the common defense.” But they are not aware of the extent to which the document shows the Founders’ concern for national security. Providing for the Common Defense In brief, the Constitution says three things about the responsibility of the federal government for the national defense. National defense is the priority job of the national government. Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution lists 17 separate powers that are granted to the Congress. Six of those powers deal exclusively with the national defense—far more than any other specific area of governance—and grant the full range of authorities necessary for establishing the defense of the nation as it was then understood. Congress is given specific authority to declare war, raise and support armies, provide for a navy, establish the rules for the operation of American military forces, organize and arm the militias of the states, and specify the conditions for converting the militias into national service. Article Two establishes the President as the government’s chief executive officer. Much of that Article relates to the method for choosing the President and sets forth the general executive powers of his office, such as the appointment and veto powers. The only substantive function of government specifically assigned to the President relates to national security and foreign policy, and the first such responsibility granted him is authority to command the military; he is the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States.” National defense is the only mandatory function of the national government. Most of the powers granted to Congress are permissive in nature. Congress is given certain authorities but not required by the Constitution to exercise them. For example, Article One, Section Eight gives Congress power to pass a bankruptcy code, but Congress actually did not enact bankruptcy laws until well into the 19th century. But the Constitution does require the federal government to protect the nation. Article Four, Section Four states that the “United States shall guarantee to every State a republican form of government and shall protect each of them against invasion.” In other words, even if the federal government chose to exercise no other power, it must, under the Constitution, provide for the common defense. National defense is exclusively the function of the national government. Under our Constitution, the states are generally sovereign, which means that the legitimate functions of government not specifically granted to the federal government are reserved to the states. But Article One, Section 10 does specifically prohibit the states, except with the consent of Congress, from keeping troops or warships in time of peace or engaging in war, the only exception being that states may act on their own if actually invaded. (This was necessary because, when the Constitution was written, primitive forms of communication and transportation meant that it could take weeks before Washington was even notified of an invasion.) FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001329 The great irony of our time is that the bigger the federal government has become, the less well it has performed its priority function of providing for the national defense. For example, Congress spent $787 billion in the “stimulus” bill last year, yet not a dime of it was spent on military procurement or modernization—despite the fact that America is in greater danger today than it has been at any time since Communism was threatening Europe in the late 1940s. The State of America’s Defenses. The Heritage Foundation has written extensively on the risks facing America and the state of our defenses. Here is a brief summary of the salient facts. 1. America has no strategy for victory in the war on terrorism—we’re not even calling it a war anymore— and the momentum has shifted to the terrorists. The outcome in Afghanistan is in doubt. If the terrorists succeed there, they can reconstitute their safe havens, plan further attacks on the United States, and threaten to gain control of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism, a bipartisan commission with the status of the 9/11 Commission, found unanimously that the terrorists would “more likely than not” develop and use a weapon of mass destruction against a Western city by 2013. The Director of National Intelligence publicly agreed with that assessment. 2. The international regime for controlling nuclear weapons is broken. Pakistan has a substantial and growing nuclear arsenal. Its intelligence organization has been penetrated by the Islamists. Both North Korea and Iran are steadily increasing the range, payload, and accuracy of their ballistic missiles. No one seriously believes that the Iranians will voluntarily stop their nuclear program or that the West (except perhaps the Israelis) will use force to stop them. 3. According to our Pacific commander, China is increasing its military strength far more quickly than our intelligence predicted. The Chinese have already acquired an arsenal of advanced fighters and missiles that threatens to deny the American Navy access to the Taiwan Strait. They are building as many as five submarines per year and have established a modern submarine base on the island of Hainan. They have announced plans to build a variety of the ships necessary to field a blue water capability. By many reports, China has the most far-reaching cyber warfare capability in the world. China is suppressing the native Tibetan culture; supporting genocide in Sudan, oppression in Burma, and repression and political terror in Zimbabwe; and turning a blind eye to nuclear proliferation by North Korea and Iran. 4. The American military is significantly weaker than it was at the end of the Cold War. The Army was cut from 18 divisions to 10 and is short on equipment. The Navy is smaller than it has been since 1916 and continues to shrink. The Air Force is smaller than it has been since Pearl Harbor, and the average age of the Air Force inventory is 23 years. Half of our bombers are considered antiques by FAA standards. There are no plans to replace them. Most of our tankers are equally as old; they will not be replaced, if at all, until the 2030s. The Department of Defense wants to close our most modern cargo aircraft FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001330 production line and will close our most sophisticated fighter line. The missile defense budget has been cut, and according to most reports, the Obama Administration will cut modernization budgets even further. As important as it is for the federal government to restrain itself from interfering where it does not belong, it is equally important that the government perform its constitutionally mandated function of providing for the national defense. That is why The Heritage Foundation sponsors Protect America Month each year. Taking Our Stand for Freedom Ever since the end of World War II, American power has been the chief deterrent to aggression: the shield under which the tools of diplomacy, trade, and engagement have produced unprecedented progress toward freedom and democracy. But the shield is cracking. America’s global influence is being checked and rolled back, and even the homeland is no longer safe from attack. The situation can still be recovered, but only if our leaders understand their duty, regain their confidence, and reenergize the defense of freedom here and abroad. Otherwise, the developments that we are witnessing almost daily in Korea, Iran, Russia, China, the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Africa, and Eastern Europe will be only the leading edge of a terrible storm—the “first foretaste,” as Churchill said after Munich in 1938, “of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year, unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigor, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.” The Honorable James Talent is Distinguished Fellow in Military Affairs at The Heritage Foundation and served as a U.S. Senator from 2002 to 2007. In federal law and no constitutional law requires an independent or special counsel to be appointed by the attorney general if there is a conflict investigation a federal employee or federal agency. BOLD of the opinion that the President of the United States is not a federal employee or a federal agency, but instead given his powers under a Constitutional document that lays out those Constitutional duties as followed. Any investigation initiated by the Attorney General is subject to the AG jurisdiction and can be ended at AG requests. Please review 28 CFR 600.01 thru 600.10. 28 CFR 600.1 - Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel. § 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel. The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001331 Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and (a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and (b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter. § 600.2 Alternatives available to the Attorney General. When matters are brought to the attention of the Attorney General that might warrant consideration of appointment of a Special Counsel, the Attorney General may: (a) Appoint a Special Counsel; (b) Direct that an initial investigation, consisting of such factual inquiry or legal research as the Attorney General deems appropriate, be conducted in order to better inform the decision; or (c) Conclude that under the circumstances of the matter, the public interest would not be served by removing the investigation from the normal processes of the Department, and that the appropriate component of the Department should handle the matter. If the Attorney General reaches this conclusion, he or she may direct that appropriate steps be taken to mitigate any conflicts of interest, such as recusal of particular officials. § 600.3 Qualifications of the Special Counsel. (a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation. (b) The Attorney General shall consult with the Assistant Attorney General for Administration to ensure an appropriate method of appointment, and to ensure that a Special Counsel undergoes an appropriate background investigation and a detailed review of ethics and conflicts of interest issues. A Special Counsel shall be appointed as a “confidential employee” as defined in 5 U.S.C. 7511(b)(2)(C). FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001332 § 600.4 Jurisdiction. (a) Original jurisdiction.The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall be established by the Attorney General. The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall also include the authority to investigate and prosecute federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, the Special Counsel's investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses; and to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigated and/or prosecuted. (b) Additional jurisdiction.If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel concludes that additional jurisdiction beyond that specified in his or her original jurisdiction is necessary in order to fully investigate and resolve the matters assigned, or to investigate new matters that come to light in the course of his or her investigation, he or she shall consult with the Attorney General, who will determine whether to include the additional matters within the Special Counsel's jurisdiction or assign them elsewhere. (c) Civil and administrative jurisdiction. If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel determines that administrative remedies, civil sanctions or other governmental action outside the criminal justice system might be appropriate, he or she shall consult with the Attorney General with respect to the appropriate component to take any necessary action. A Special Counsel shall not have civil or administrative authority unless specifically granted such jurisdiction by the Attorney General. § 600.5 Staff. A Special Counsel may request the assignment of appropriate Department employees to assist the Special Counsel. The Department shall gather and provide the Special Counsel with the names and resumes of appropriate personnel available for detail. The Special Counsel may also request the detail of specific employees, and the office for which the designated employee works shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request. The Special Counsel shall assign the duties and supervise the work of such employees while they are assigned to the Special Counsel. If necessary, the Special Counsel may request that additional personnel be hired or assigned from outside the Department. All personnel in the Department shall cooperate to the fullest extent possible with the Special Counsel. § 600.6 Powers and authority. Subject to the limitations in the following paragraphs, the Special Counsel shall exercise, within the scope of his or her jurisdiction, the full power and independent authority to exercise all investigative and prosecutorial functions of FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001333 any United States Attorney. Except as provided in this part, the Special Counsel shall determine whether and to what extent to inform or consult with the Attorney General or others within the Department about the conduct of his or her duties and responsibilities. § 600.7 Conduct and accountability. (a) A Special Counsel shall comply with the rules, regulations, procedures, practices and policies of the Department of Justice. He or she shall consult with appropriate offices within the Department for guidance with respect to established practices, policies and procedures of the Department, including ethics and security regulations and procedures. Should the Special Counsel conclude that the extraordinary circumstances of any particular decision would render compliance with required review and approval procedures by the designated Departmental component inappropriate, he or she may consult directly with the Attorney General. (b) The Special Counsel shall not be subject to the day-to-day supervision of any official of the Department. However, the Attorney General may request that the Special Counsel provide an explanation for any investigative or prosecutorial step, and may after review conclude that the action is so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Departmental practices that it should not be pursued. In conducting that review, the Attorney General will give great weight to the views of the Special Counsel. If the Attorney General concludes that a proposed action by a Special Counsel should not be pursued, the Attorney General shall notify Congress as specified in § 600.9(a)(3). (c) The Special Counsel and staff shall be subject to disciplinary action for misconduct and breach of ethical duties under the same standards and to the same extent as are other employees of the Department of Justice. Inquiries into such matters shall be handled through the appropriate office of the Department upon the approval of the Attorney General. (d) The Special Counsel may be disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the Attorney General. The Attorney General may remove a Special Counsel for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause, including violation of Departmental policies. The Attorney General shall inform the Special Counsel in writing of the specific reason for his or her removal. § 600.8 Notification and reports by the Special Counsel. (a) Budget. (1) A Special Counsel shall be provided all appropriate resources by the Department of Justice. Within the first 60 days of his or her appointment, the Special Counsel shall develop a proposed budget FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001334 for the current fiscal year with the assistance of the Justice Management Division for the Attorney General's review and approval. Based on the proposal, the Attorney General shall establish a budget for the operations of the Special Counsel. The budget shall include a request for assignment of personnel, with a description of the qualifications needed. (2) Thereafter, 90 days before the beginning of each fiscal year, the Special Counsel shall report to the Attorney General the status of the investigation, and provide a budget request for the following year. The Attorney General shall determine whether the investigation should continue and, if so, establish the budget for the next year. (b) Notification of significant events. The Special Counsel shall notify the Attorney General of events in the course of his or her investigation in conformity with the Departmental guidelines with respect to Urgent Reports. (c) Closing documentation.At the conclusion of the Special Counsel's work, he or she shall provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel. § 600.9 Notification and reports by the Attorney General. (a) The Attorney General will notify the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Judiciary Committees of each House of Congress, with an explanation for each action (1) Upon appointing a Special Counsel; (2) Upon removing any Special Counsel; and (3) Upon conclusion of the Special Counsels investigation, including, to the extent consistent with applicable law, a description and explanation of instances (if any) in which the Attorney General concluded that a proposed action by a Special Counsel was so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Departmental practices that it should not be pursued. (b) The notification requirement in paragraph (a)(1) of this section may be tolled by the Attorney General upon a finding that legitimate investigative or privacy concerns require confidentiality. At such time as confidentiality is no longer needed, the notification will be provided. (c) The Attorney General may determine that public release of these reports would be in the public interest, to the extent that release would comply with applicable legal restrictions. All other releases of information by any Department of Justice employee, including the Special Counsel and staff, concerning matters handled by Special Counsels shall be governed by the generally applicable Departmental guidelines concerning public comment with respect to any criminal FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001335 investigation, and relevant law. § 600.10 No creation of rights. The regulations in this part are not intended to, do not, and may not be relied upon to create any rights, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or equity, by any person or entity, in any matter, civil, criminal, or administrative.

This is very a dangerous analysis because we believe that these forces in the future eventually will join together for the purposes of replacing so-called white skinned United States Americans. Therefore, putting the future of American born children at risk of a possible takeover or overthrowing of the country when they are of age to run the federal government in 2059 thru 2099. It is BOLD opinion this happened because US Leaders in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s placed a devaluation of American citizenship, so they could go into these foreign countries and rape them of important resources. They renamed earmarked anti-poverty funds that can only be approved by Mrs. Mary L. Hill founder of EOPI and National Regional Community Service Director to humanitarian aide, Community Development Block Grant funds, Social Service Block Grants, Welfare, Affordable Housing Funds, Community Redevelopment Funds in the 1990s under the Clinton administration. Now sir, you are having a difficult time closing this Pandora box because Illegal voting and election stealing by FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001336 foreigners have replaced the children of former slaves legal standing to American lands because election fraud and the stealing of America from Americans is now a way of life because non-citizens or green card holders are prohibited by federal INS law to serves in restrictive employment or elected offices throughout Congress and beyond; whereas they are changing US laws to fit their own future agendas and purposes which is why foreign influences control all political parties now. In addition they run any and all Economic Opportunity Act earmarked funding programs under Public Laws 88-452, 92424, 93-644 and 95-568 fraudulently in Miami and beyond that were passed by Congress in 1960s to help poor black and white natural born Americans out of poverty. These anti-poverty programs were hijacked by foreign born citizens in the 1980s under the Carter Administration. These earmarked anti-poverty funds are now unlawfully being used aiding illegal immigrants and non-citizens that helps improve their lives and not black Americans under the right legally established setup. A number of black Americans are disappointed with America because from their shared sacrifices and loyalty in helping to fight in US wars, the country would rather free non-citizens from their inhumane conditions before letting natural born black citizens used these earmarked anti-poverty funds created in part for them to receive their full-fledged citizenship as mentioned in the 14th Amendment. Mr. President children of former slaves whose families been here since 1619. We were given full American citizenship with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the passing of 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1868. Sir, no other group of people coming into this country have remained more loyal than natural born black Americans. We cared for white America's lands, protect their families, nursed their babies and gave our life's protecting and defending the United States Constitution, yet we are hated by every elected member serving in the Congress who would rather see illegals and foreign born citizens out of their poverty and not natural born black Americans. Our black children are being displaced and separated from their families every day because foreign born judges, prosecutors, police officials and defense attorneys use allegedly fake and fraudulent evidence to convict and incarcerate black men i.e. Drewery Geter in order to put them in prisons and use a judicial scheme that takes away their civil rights, human rights and voting rights done intentionally to destroy and separate black children; which also destroys black women and/or wives who later becomes prey and/or victims of these foreign born influences or non-citizens. Foreign influences that ultimately impregnate these black poor women leaving behind illegitimate families that will eventually wipe out or replace the legitimacy of both black and white races. We need your help Mr. President to save the natural born black citizens race in America from such a threat of destroying and erasing our families black history long after we are gone from this place. That's why Miami Dade County and it's home rule charter must be demolished or abolished to strike that last blow to Jim Crowism and expose Miami Dade County and the City of Miami as being a sanctuary city or county, since so many foreign born citizens or non-citizens serves in elected offices without being citizens of the United States of America. See 18 USC 611. These citizens have stolen America from Americans. We need your help sir in restoring black citizen's pride, dignity and respect that must come with your signing an executive order enforcing the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, 1967, 1972, 1978 and the Community Service Act of 1974 once and for all thus returning Mrs. Mary L.

Snipes November 26, 2018 Dear President Donald Trump, The Heritage Foundation reported in 2010 a study of the United States Constitution. The President is not a federal employee and should not be subjected to a federal independent counsel statute that violates the separation of powers clause. The report says: "A fundamental principle of the United States government, whereby powers and responsibilities are divided among the legislative branch, executive branch, and judicial branch. The officials of each branch are selected by different procedures and serve different terms of office; each branch may choose to block action of the other branches through the system of checks and balances. The framers of the Constitution designed this system to ensure that no one branch would accumulate too much power and that issues of public policy and welfare would be given comprehensive consideration before any action was taken.." Please review report below: The report said "Those who have not done so recently would benefit from studying what the United States Constitution says about the federal government’s responsibility to provide for the common defense. Most Americans had to memorize the preamble to the Constitution when they were children, so they are aware that one of the purposes of the FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001339 document was to “provide for the common defense.” But they are not aware of the extent to which the document shows the Founders’ concern for national security. Providing for the Common Defense In brief, the Constitution says three things about the responsibility of the federal government for the national defense. National defense is the priority job of the national government. Article One, Section Eight of the Constitution lists 17 separate powers that are granted to the Congress. Six of those powers deal exclusively with the national defense—far more than any other specific area of governance—and grant the full range of authorities necessary for establishing the defense of the nation as it was then understood. Congress is given specific authority to declare war, raise and support armies, provide for a navy, establish the rules for the operation of American military forces, organize and arm the militias of the states, and specify the conditions for converting the militias into national service. Article Two establishes the President as the government’s chief executive officer. Much of that Article relates to the method for choosing the President and sets forth the general executive powers of his office, such as the appointment and veto powers. The only substantive function of government specifically assigned to the President relates to national security and foreign policy, and the first such responsibility granted him is authority to command the military; he is the “Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States.” National defense is the only mandatory function of the national government. Most of the powers granted to Congress are permissive in nature. Congress is given certain authorities but not required by the Constitution to exercise them. For example, Article One, Section Eight gives Congress power to pass a bankruptcy code, but Congress actually did not enact bankruptcy laws until well into the 19th century. But the Constitution does require the federal government to protect the nation. Article Four, Section Four states that the “United States shall guarantee to every State a republican form of government and shall protect each of them against invasion.” In other words, even if the federal government chose to exercise no other power, it must, under the Constitution, provide for the common defense. National defense is exclusively the function of the national government. Under our Constitution, the states are generally sovereign, which means that the legitimate functions of government not specifically granted to the federal government are reserved to the states. But Article One, Section 10 does specifically prohibit the states, except with the consent of Congress, from keeping troops or warships in time of peace or engaging in war, the only exception being that states may act on their own if actually invaded. (This was necessary because, when the Constitution was written, primitive forms of communication and transportation meant that it could take weeks before Washington was even notified of an invasion.) FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001340 The great irony of our time is that the bigger the federal government has become, the less well it has performed its priority function of providing for the national defense. For example, Congress spent $787 billion in the “stimulus” bill last year, yet not a dime of it was spent on military procurement or modernization—despite the fact that America is in greater danger today than it has been at any time since Communism was threatening Europe in the late 1940s. The State of America’s Defenses. The Heritage Foundation has written extensively on the risks facing America and the state of our defenses. Here is a brief summary of the salient facts. 1. America has no strategy for victory in the war on terrorism—we’re not even calling it a war anymore— and the momentum has shifted to the terrorists. The outcome in Afghanistan is in doubt. If the terrorists succeed there, they can reconstitute their safe havens, plan further attacks on the United States, and threaten to gain control of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. The Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism, a bipartisan commission with the status of the 9/11 Commission, found unanimously that the terrorists would “more likely than not” develop and use a weapon of mass destruction against a Western city by 2013. The Director of National Intelligence publicly agreed with that assessment. 2. The international regime for controlling nuclear weapons is broken. Pakistan has a substantial and growing nuclear arsenal. Its intelligence organization has been penetrated by the Islamists. Both North Korea and Iran are steadily increasing the range, payload, and accuracy of their ballistic missiles. No one seriously believes that the Iranians will voluntarily stop their nuclear program or that the West (except perhaps the Israelis) will use force to stop them. 3. According to our Pacific commander, China is increasing its military strength far more quickly than our intelligence predicted. The Chinese have already acquired an arsenal of advanced fighters and missiles that threatens to deny the American Navy access to the Taiwan Strait. They are building as many as five submarines per year and have established a modern submarine base on the island of Hainan. They have announced plans to build a variety of the ships necessary to field a blue water capability. By many reports, China has the most far-reaching cyber warfare capability in the world. China is suppressing the native Tibetan culture; supporting genocide in Sudan, oppression in Burma, and repression and political terror in Zimbabwe; and turning a blind eye to nuclear proliferation by North Korea and Iran. 4. The American military is significantly weaker than it was at the end of the Cold War. The Army was cut from 18 divisions to 10 and is short on equipment. The Navy is smaller than it has been since 1916 and continues to shrink. The Air Force is smaller than it has been since Pearl Harbor, and the average age of the Air Force inventory is 23 years. Half of our bombers are considered antiques by FAA standards. There are no plans to replace them. Most of our tankers are equally as old; they will not be replaced, if at all, until the 2030s. The Department of Defense wants to close our most modern cargo aircraft FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001341 production line and will close our most sophisticated fighter line. The missile defense budget has been cut, and according to most reports, the Obama Administration will cut modernization budgets even further. As important as it is for the federal government to restrain itself from interfering where it does not belong, it is equally important that the government perform its constitutionally mandated function of providing for the national defense. That is why The Heritage Foundation sponsors Protect America Month each year. Taking Our Stand for Freedom Ever since the end of World War II, American power has been the chief deterrent to aggression: the shield under which the tools of diplomacy, trade, and engagement have produced unprecedented progress toward freedom and democracy. But the shield is cracking. America’s global influence is being checked and rolled back, and even the homeland is no longer safe from attack. The situation can still be recovered, but only if our leaders understand their duty, regain their confidence, and reenergize the defense of freedom here and abroad. Otherwise, the developments that we are witnessing almost daily in Korea, Iran, Russia, China, the Persian Gulf, Afghanistan, Africa, and Eastern Europe will be only the leading edge of a terrible storm—the “first foretaste,” as Churchill said after Munich in 1938, “of a bitter cup which will be proffered to us year by year, unless by a supreme recovery of moral health and martial vigor, we arise again and take our stand for freedom as in the olden time.” The Honorable James Talent is Distinguished Fellow in Military Affairs at The Heritage Foundation and served as a U.S. Senator from 2002 to 2007. In federal law and no constitutional law requires an independent or special counsel to be appointed by the attorney general if there is a conflict investigation a federal employee or federal agency. BOLD of the opinion that the President of the United States is not a federal employee or a federal agency, but instead given his powers under a Constitutional document that lays out those Constitutional duties as followed. Any investigation initiated by the Attorney General is subject to the AG jurisdiction and can be ended at AG requests. Please review 28 CFR 600.01 thru 600.10. 28 CFR 600.1 - Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel. § 600.1 Grounds for appointing a Special Counsel. The Attorney General, or in cases in which the Attorney General is recused, the FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001342 Acting Attorney General, will appoint a Special Counsel when he or she determines that criminal investigation of a person or matter is warranted and (a) That investigation or prosecution of that person or matter by a United States Attorney's Office or litigating Division of the Department of Justice would present a conflict of interest for the Department or other extraordinary circumstances; and (b) That under the circumstances, it would be in the public interest to appoint an outside Special Counsel to assume responsibility for the matter. § 600.2 Alternatives available to the Attorney General. When matters are brought to the attention of the Attorney General that might warrant consideration of appointment of a Special Counsel, the Attorney General may: (a) Appoint a Special Counsel; (b) Direct that an initial investigation, consisting of such factual inquiry or legal research as the Attorney General deems appropriate, be conducted in order to better inform the decision; or (c) Conclude that under the circumstances of the matter, the public interest would not be served by removing the investigation from the normal processes of the Department, and that the appropriate component of the Department should handle the matter. If the Attorney General reaches this conclusion, he or she may direct that appropriate steps be taken to mitigate any conflicts of interest, such as recusal of particular officials. § 600.3 Qualifications of the Special Counsel. (a) An individual named as Special Counsel shall be a lawyer with a reputation for integrity and impartial decisionmaking, and with appropriate experience to ensure both that the investigation will be conducted ably, expeditiously and thoroughly, and that investigative and prosecutorial decisions will be supported by an informed understanding of the criminal law and Department of Justice policies. The Special Counsel shall be selected from outside the United States Government. Special Counsels shall agree that their responsibilities as Special Counsel shall take first precedence in their professional lives, and that it may be necessary to devote their full time to the investigation, depending on its complexity and the stage of the investigation. (b) The Attorney General shall consult with the Assistant Attorney General for Administration to ensure an appropriate method of appointment, and to ensure that a Special Counsel undergoes an appropriate background investigation and a detailed review of ethics and conflicts of interest issues. A Special Counsel shall be appointed as a “confidential employee” as defined in 5 U.S.C. 7511(b)(2)(C). FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001343 § 600.4 Jurisdiction. (a) Original jurisdiction.The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall be established by the Attorney General. The Special Counsel will be provided with a specific factual statement of the matter to be investigated. The jurisdiction of a Special Counsel shall also include the authority to investigate and prosecute federal crimes committed in the course of, and with intent to interfere with, the Special Counsel's investigation, such as perjury, obstruction of justice, destruction of evidence, and intimidation of witnesses; and to conduct appeals arising out of the matter being investigated and/or prosecuted. (b) Additional jurisdiction.If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel concludes that additional jurisdiction beyond that specified in his or her original jurisdiction is necessary in order to fully investigate and resolve the matters assigned, or to investigate new matters that come to light in the course of his or her investigation, he or she shall consult with the Attorney General, who will determine whether to include the additional matters within the Special Counsel's jurisdiction or assign them elsewhere. (c) Civil and administrative jurisdiction. If in the course of his or her investigation the Special Counsel determines that administrative remedies, civil sanctions or other governmental action outside the criminal justice system might be appropriate, he or she shall consult with the Attorney General with respect to the appropriate component to take any necessary action. A Special Counsel shall not have civil or administrative authority unless specifically granted such jurisdiction by the Attorney General. § 600.5 Staff. A Special Counsel may request the assignment of appropriate Department employees to assist the Special Counsel. The Department shall gather and provide the Special Counsel with the names and resumes of appropriate personnel available for detail. The Special Counsel may also request the detail of specific employees, and the office for which the designated employee works shall make reasonable efforts to accommodate the request. The Special Counsel shall assign the duties and supervise the work of such employees while they are assigned to the Special Counsel. If necessary, the Special Counsel may request that additional personnel be hired or assigned from outside the Department. All personnel in the Department shall cooperate to the fullest extent possible with the Special Counsel. § 600.6 Powers and authority. Subject to the limitations in the following paragraphs, the Special Counsel shall exercise, within the scope of his or her jurisdiction, the full power and independent authority to exercise all investigative and prosecutorial functions of FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001344 any United States Attorney. Except as provided in this part, the Special Counsel shall determine whether and to what extent to inform or consult with the Attorney General or others within the Department about the conduct of his or her duties and responsibilities. § 600.7 Conduct and accountability. (a) A Special Counsel shall comply with the rules, regulations, procedures, practices and policies of the Department of Justice. He or she shall consult with appropriate offices within the Department for guidance with respect to established practices, policies and procedures of the Department, including ethics and security regulations and procedures. Should the Special Counsel conclude that the extraordinary circumstances of any particular decision would render compliance with required review and approval procedures by the designated Departmental component inappropriate, he or she may consult directly with the Attorney General. (b) The Special Counsel shall not be subject to the day-to-day supervision of any official of the Department. However, the Attorney General may request that the Special Counsel provide an explanation for any investigative or prosecutorial step, and may after review conclude that the action is so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Departmental practices that it should not be pursued. In conducting that review, the Attorney General will give great weight to the views of the Special Counsel. If the Attorney General concludes that a proposed action by a Special Counsel should not be pursued, the Attorney General shall notify Congress as specified in § 600.9(a)(3). (c) The Special Counsel and staff shall be subject to disciplinary action for misconduct and breach of ethical duties under the same standards and to the same extent as are other employees of the Department of Justice. Inquiries into such matters shall be handled through the appropriate office of the Department upon the approval of the Attorney General. (d) The Special Counsel may be disciplined or removed from office only by the personal action of the Attorney General. The Attorney General may remove a Special Counsel for misconduct, dereliction of duty, incapacity, conflict of interest, or for other good cause, including violation of Departmental policies. The Attorney General shall inform the Special Counsel in writing of the specific reason for his or her removal. § 600.8 Notification and reports by the Special Counsel. (a) Budget. (1) A Special Counsel shall be provided all appropriate resources by the Department of Justice. Within the first 60 days of his or her appointment, the Special Counsel shall develop a proposed budget FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001345 for the current fiscal year with the assistance of the Justice Management Division for the Attorney General's review and approval. Based on the proposal, the Attorney General shall establish a budget for the operations of the Special Counsel. The budget shall include a request for assignment of personnel, with a description of the qualifications needed. (2) Thereafter, 90 days before the beginning of each fiscal year, the Special Counsel shall report to the Attorney General the status of the investigation, and provide a budget request for the following year. The Attorney General shall determine whether the investigation should continue and, if so, establish the budget for the next year. (b) Notification of significant events. The Special Counsel shall notify the Attorney General of events in the course of his or her investigation in conformity with the Departmental guidelines with respect to Urgent Reports. (c) Closing documentation.At the conclusion of the Special Counsel's work, he or she shall provide the Attorney General with a confidential report explaining the prosecution or declination decisions reached by the Special Counsel. § 600.9 Notification and reports by the Attorney General. (a) The Attorney General will notify the Chairman and Ranking Minority Member of the Judiciary Committees of each House of Congress, with an explanation for each action (1) Upon appointing a Special Counsel; (2) Upon removing any Special Counsel; and (3) Upon conclusion of the Special Counsels investigation, including, to the extent consistent with applicable law, a description and explanation of instances (if any) in which the Attorney General concluded that a proposed action by a Special Counsel was so inappropriate or unwarranted under established Departmental practices that it should not be pursued. (b) The notification requirement in paragraph (a)(1) of this section may be tolled by the Attorney General upon a finding that legitimate investigative or privacy concerns require confidentiality. At such time as confidentiality is no longer needed, the notification will be provided. (c) The Attorney General may determine that public release of these reports would be in the public interest, to the extent that release would comply with applicable legal restrictions. All other releases of information by any Department of Justice employee, including the Special Counsel and staff, concerning matters handled by Special Counsels shall be governed by the generally applicable Departmental guidelines concerning public comment with respect to any criminal FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001346 investigation, and relevant law. § 600.10 No creation of rights. The regulations in this part are not intended to, do not, and may not be relied upon to create any rights, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or equity, by any person or entity, in any matter, civil, criminal, or administrative.

Sincerely, Rubin Young, President, BOLD Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android On Sat, Nov 24, 2018 at 7:59 PM, Rubin Young wrote: Final Corrections November 24, 2018 Dear Mr. President, BOLD is now of the opinion that this country's sovereignty has been turned over to so-called white skinned central Americans and/or over to all other white skinned Europeans sir. This is very a dangerous analysis because we believe that these forces in the future eventually will join together for the purposes of replacing so-called white skinned United States Americans. Therefore, putting the future of American born children at risk of a possible takeover or overthrowing of the country when they are of age to run the federal government in 2059 thru 2099. It is BOLD opinion this happened because US Leaders in the 1960s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s placed a devaluation of American citizenship, so they could go into these foreign countries and rape them of important resources. They renamed earmarked anti-poverty funds that can only be approved by Mrs. Mary L. Hill founder of EOPI and National Regional Community Service Director to humanitarian aide, Community Development Block Grant funds, Social Service Block Grants, Welfare, Affordable Housing Funds, Community Redevelopment Funds in the 1990s under the Clinton administration. Now sir, you are having a difficult time closing this Pandora box because Illegal voting and election stealing by FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001347 foreigners have replaced the children of former slaves legal standing to American lands because election fraud and the stealing of America from Americans is now a way of life because non-citizens or green card holders are prohibited by federal INS law to serves in restrictive employment or elected offices throughout Congress and beyond; whereas they are changing US laws to fit their own future agendas and purposes which is why foreign influences control all political parties now. In addition they run any and all Economic Opportunity Act earmarked funding programs under Public Laws 88-452, 92424, 93-644 and 95-568 fraudulently in Miami and beyond that were passed by Congress in 1960s to help poor black and white natural born Americans out of poverty. These anti-poverty programs were hijacked by foreign born citizens in the 1980s under the Carter Administration. These earmarked anti-poverty funds are now unlawfully being used aiding illegal immigrants and non-citizens that helps improve their lives and not black Americans under the right legally established setup. A number of black Americans are disappointed with America because from their shared sacrifices and loyalty in helping to fight in US wars, the country would rather free non-citizens from their inhumane conditions before letting natural born black citizens used these earmarked anti-poverty funds created in part for them to receive their full-fledged citizenship as mentioned in the 14th Amendment. Mr. President children of former slaves whose families been here since 1619. We were given full American citizenship with the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation and the passing of 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1868. Sir, no other group of people coming into this country have remained more loyal than natural born black Americans. We cared for white America's lands, protect their families, nursed their babies and gave our life's protecting and defending the United States Constitution, yet we are hated by every elected member serving in the Congress who would rather see illegals and foreign born citizens out of their poverty and not natural born black Americans. Our black children are being displaced and separated from their families every day because foreign born judges, prosecutors, police officials and defense attorneys use allegedly fake and fraudulent evidence to convict and incarcerate black men i.e. Drewery Geter in order to put them in prisons and use a judicial scheme that takes away their civil rights, human rights and voting rights done intentionally to destroy and separate black children; which also destroys black women and/or wives who later becomes prey and/or victims of these foreign born influences or non-citizens. Foreign influences that ultimately impregnate these black poor women leaving behind illegitimate families that will eventually wipe out or replace the legitimacy of both black and white races. We need your help Mr. President to save the natural born black citizens race in America from such a threat of destroying and erasing our families black history long after we are gone from this place. That's why Miami Dade County and it's home rule charter must be demolished or abolished to strike that last blow to Jim Crowism and expose Miami Dade County and the City of Miami as being a sanctuary city or county, since so many foreign born citizens or non-citizens serves in elected offices without being citizens of the United States of America. See 18 USC 611. These citizens have stolen America from Americans. We need your help sir in restoring black citizen's pride, dignity and respect that must come with your signing an executive order enforcing the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964, 1967, 1972, 1978 and the Community Service Act of 1974 once and for all thus returning Mrs. Mary L. Hill to her position and justly compensating her and her children for this alleged wrongful doing. BOLD thank you sir for your time and attention. We wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New years!

It's Tuesday, April 2, the 92nd day of the year. Sunrise in Boston was at 6:25 a.m.; sunset will be at 7:10 p.m., for 12 hours and 45 minutes of sunlight. The waning moon is 5 percent full. The Old Farmer's Almanac says we all have been made fools once in our lives, and for many, that day was Nov. 8, 2016. What's it like outside? Another cold start to the day this morning, with temps "warming" into the mid-40s to low 50s this afternoon. Rain overnight tonight could turn into snow, first in Western Mass., then across the eastern part of the state tomorrow morning. But more rain should wash it away. Hey, sport: The Celtics are off. Last night, they stayed tied with the Pacers for fourth place in the Eastern Conference when they held FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001353 off a late run by the Heat, 110-105. Four games to go, and the Cs have to win all of them to reach 50 wins again. The Bruins are in Columbus to face the Blue Jackets (7 p.m., NESN and 98.5 FM), and had better step up their game before they head into the playoffs. The Sox continued their futility. Subscribe to BostonGlobe.com Trump spends the morning working out lifting weights jogging tweeting, then meets with Jens Stoltenberg, secretary general of NATO -- you know, the organization that Trump has trashed since even before he took office. Tonight he attends the National Republican Congressional Committee Annual Spring Dinner at the National Building Museum, and the brag-o-meter is tuned up and ready to go. Immigration czar? We may find out today if Trump really is going to appoint one of his far-right buddies to coordinate all the federal agencies responsible in some way for the country's immigration policies and enforcement. Both names being floated are guys who basically want to kick out everyone who's not a FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001354 citizen, and even some kids who are. One of the names being floated is failed voter fraud czar Kris Kobach, the wild-eyed former Kansas secretary of state who set out to prove Trump's pouty falsehood that the only reason Hillary Clinton got nearly 3 million more votes than he did in 2016 was because millions of noncitizens had voted illegally. Kobach's commission disbanded after 19 months of spinning its wheels and issued no report. The other candidate is Ken Cuccinelli, the former Virginia attorney general who wants to strip citizenship from US-born children whose parents are undocumented and force people to speak English in the workplace. The Trump swamp revisited: Look for more fallout today from the allegation that Trump and his aides continue to put the country's security at risk by granting clearances to at least 25 people whose applications had been denied by security officials for a variety of reasons: foreign influence, conflicts of interest, worrisome personal conduct, financial problems, drug use, and criminal conduct. The question is why: Are they relatives (Jared and Ivanka, I'm lookin' at you), campaign workers, donors, run-of-themill sycophants? Those are the usual qualifications for Trump appointees. The whistleblower -- Tricia Newbold, a manager in the White House Personnel Security Office who has been raising questions about the sketchy approvals for months -- said she was punished by Trump's political appointees in her office in particularly cruel and humiliating ways: She has dwarfism, so her then-boss placed files she needed for her job, as well as a bell employees ring to get into the office, up high, deliberately out of her reach. I hope there really is a special place in hell. Meanwhile, Trump's big boast that Republicans are going to come up with a health care plan that is cheaper, more comprehensive, more extensive, more flexible, more profitable for FL-BROWARD-19-0523-A-001355 insurance companies, blah blah blah, has turned into a big "never mind." After Republicans in Congress blanched at the thought of having to tackle medical coverage again, Trump punted, saying the GOP's plan will be released after the 2020 election. Until then, just trust him. The Democratic candidates running for their party's presidential nomination are starting to release unofficial 1st quarter donation numbers in an effort to show their fund-raising prowess and, presumably, political viability. Official reports are due to the FEC by April 15, but so far Kamala Harris says she has raised $12 million from 218,000 individual contributions, and Pete Buttigieg says he took in $7 million+ from 158,550 individual donors. Speaking of money, it's Equal Pay Day, the day that marks how long it takes women -- last year plus the first 92 days of this year -to earn as much as men in similar jobs earned last year. (It will take black women until Aug. 22 and Latinas until Nov. 1.) Women should get free meals and drinks today, don't you think? Plus a raise. There's a hearing in the Robert Kraft soliciting prostitution case in Florida to deal with various motions filed in the case by the defense and the prosecution. Even though it's not clear which requests will be taken up, the most significant motion so far came from Kraft's lawyers, who asked the court to stop prosecutors from showing a damning videotape of the Patriots' owner getting "services" at the spa during his jury trial. He reportedly doesn't want the public to see his Donald Duck boxers. Finally, it's National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day, timed to mark the day when women are able to stop bringing cheap lunches to work because they make so much less than men. Thanks for reading.
