Snipes, one of the most incompetent election officials ever to receive a paycheck, and who presided over a totally embarrassing vote recount effort in Broward County following the 2018 midterm elections, told reporters on Saturday, through her attorney, that she refuses to be shamed by Scott and would not simply leave office quietly.
She definitely should not be shamed by Scott. She should be ashamed of her inability to do a job she was handsomely paid to do, and failed miserably.
"Dr. Snipes hereby rescinds her resignation,” attorney Burnadette Norris-Weeks told media. She added that the governor's efforts to remove the useless Snipes from office before January were nothing more than an attempt to "tarnish [Snipes’s] record.”
Snipes' record is tarnished every day she gets out of bed.
Snipes will be “fighting this to the very end,” Norris-Weeks warned.
Snipes will be “fighting this to the very end,” Norris-Weeks warned.
And if she fights this as well as she supervises elections procedures, she's in deep trouble.
Snipes officially resigned her position after the Broward Country vote recount was completed, and after days of screwups and missteps whereby Broward lagged far behind neighboring counties in handling ballot issues.

Her team, at one point, lost more than 2,000 ballots, with just hours remaining until the election results had to be certified.
She would have remained in office until January, and would have been eligible for a $170,000 state pension, but elections got in her way.
Late last week Governor Rick Scott announced that Snipes needed to go, and he officially removed her from office, appointing a Republican supervisor of elections to take over immediately.
"Every eligible voter in Florida deserves their vote to be counted and should have confidence in Florida’s elections process," Scott said in a statement about his actions last week.
"After a series of inexcusable actions, it’s clear that there needs to be an immediate change in Broward County and taxpayers should no longer be burdened by paying a salary for a Supervisor of Elections who has already announced resignation,” the Governor added.
That turned out to be a bad deal for Snipes and she is refusing to leave office unless she is removed by the state of Florida. Her current term isn't scheduled to end until the 2020 election year.
In a separate statement at a press conference held Saturday, Snipes accused Scott of being "vindictive" -- in spite of the fact that Scott ultimately won the recount in Broward county and has nothing for which to be "vindictive." He will serve as Florida's junior Senator and has pledged to seek out transparency.
Snipes needs to go but I doubt she can even find the correct exit.
