I haven't articulate a single conspiracy theory. I have articulated that this Clerk is either not competent to run the election (the State has made a specific finding in that regard with respect to certain aspects of the primary election), that her actions have already thrown an election into question, and that if she is allowed to continue other elections may come into question. We simply cannot have that.
And what happened in Florida in 2000 is no laughing matter. We should all be working to make the fundamental right to vote secure and to restore confidence in our elections. People have died ON OUR OWN SOIL to obtain it and to secure it.
I can accept the outcome of a fair election. What I cannot accept is any attempt, whether by negligence or design, to interfere with the right to vote. The fact that she has been derelict (already established) and has exhibited a pattern destructive of her own office is enough for me and so I need not reach any further conclusion about her actions, or what motivates them, if anything, including any association with any political party. I want neither Democrats nor Republicans making it more challenging for people to vote.
The video means little to me and I don't think she should be hounded in her private life. I do think every official action she takes needs to be subject to strict scrutiny. Official actions would include actions taken outside of the office but in connection with her duties or that give the appearance of impropriety. She was harsh on her own workers. Let her meet that standard as well.
She needs to go and any election worker that has not already died from stress needs to get their job back.
I am asking everyone to contact their representatives and to express, at the very least, dissatisfaction with the way the office is being run.
