How Brenda Snipes and other black election workers got falsely targeted by Trump
"What you see Trump and Rick Scott and other Republicans doing here is counting on the power of racism to serve as fact," said an Emory University professor.

By Janell Ross
Most weeks the Broward County Elections Office, nestled in the Lauderhill Mall just off US 441 in Lauderhill, Florida, isn't the kind of place that draws a crowd.
But on Election Day earlier this month, as Bob Henry Sr. stood in the parking lot closest to the county office, what he saw looked like something just short of a mob. The parking lot had become a locus for the frustrated, the distrustful, the accusatory, and the truly angry. "Lock her up," seemed to have become the day's favored refrain.
The "her" in question was Broward County Election Supervisor Brenda Snipes.
"Look, I'm no angel, so I had to go on and get away from there," said Henry, publisher and columnist at the Westside Gazette, which describes itself as Broward County's "Oldest and Largest African American Owned and Operated Newspaper."
"Those people were angry because they seemed to have read from the same script, the one coming from Trump's Twitter feed and [Florida Gov. Rick] Scott's mouth, folks without so much as one bit of evidence of any kind of crime," he said. (President Donald Trump called Snipes a "disaster" and urged her ouster.)
PoliticsEmbattled Broward election supervisor fires back at Trump over fraud allegations
This week, after nearly 15 years in office, Snipes announced that she will step down from her post as Broward County Elections Supervisor on Jan. 4. Snipes, an election administrator with a problem track record long before the 2018 midterms, is said to have been deeply troubled by descriptions of her and her staff as something far worse than slow-moving or inattentive to the details key to operating a smooth election. Since Election Day, Trump and other Republicans have described Snipes and her work in ways that have left her the embodiment of the rigged and corrupt American election process about which Trump often warns his supporters.
The narrative often coming from Trump's public statements paints election administrators like Snipes and poll workers as un-American, and U.S. elections in general as a coming together of crooks and nincompoops.
"What is going on, all these many unfortunate days after Election Day, is the counting of provisional absentee and mail-in ballots and those cast on Election Day, which by law are all supposed to be counted," said Carol Anderson, during the recount. Anderson is a professor of African-American Studies at Emory University and author of the book "One Person, No Vote: How Voter Suppression Is Destroying Our Democracy." "What you see Trump and Rick Scott and other Republicans doing here is counting on the power of racism to serve as fact. Racism serves to erase actual fact and to pollute reality."
Broward County election chief confident recount deadline will be met
Henry observed outside the Elections Office in Broward County a sign that read: "When Snipes counts votes, votes don't count." Another read; "Snipes creates fake ballots and destroys real ballots. Prison." In his column for the Westside Gazette, Henry described Trump's role in recasting Snipes, a woman he first met almost 20 years ago when Snipes was overseeing 16 schools for an area school district, as a silver-haired criminal.
After the midterms, claims of actual election-related crime in Broward County came quickly. On Nov. 8, a little over 48 hours after polling sites closed, Trump tweeted about a "corruption scandal."
Law Enforcement is looking into another big corruption scandal having to do with Election Fraud in #Broward and Palm Beach. Florida voted for Rick Scott!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 9, 2018
Trump continued to tweet about election officials in Florida and Georgia "finding votes," suggesting that the "found ballots" contributed to narrowing Scott's lead in the Senate race and one that dubbed this process the "Broward Effect." He thanked Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., for "helping to expose...potential...Election Theft" in Broward and Palm Beach Counties."
And finally, he sent a tweet claiming "large numbers of new ballots" had "showed up out of nowhere," and others were "missing or forged" preceded one with a direct reference to the "characters running Palm Beach and Broward County," being unable to "'find' enough votes" to presumably change the election outcome.
He also predictably brought it back to the 2016 election, making an unsubstantiated claim that Broward County election officials had tried to rob him of his 2016 victory in that jurisdiction. (Trump won Broward County by an 11-point margin.)
Trump has simply borrowed from a playbook dating back to the period just after the Civil War, Anderson said, referring to a time when black voter involvement in elections began to be described as inherently likely to produce fraudulent outcomes. White Democrats, mostly in the South, often described black Americans as ill-suited to participate in democracy.
"I think we can all see that some things are not going well, did not go well. But President Trump's assertions are not grounded in reality."
It's a set of tactics and ideas that have been renewed with gusto. Since 2000, Republicans have embraced the same notions, claiming that voter ID and other measures which tend to restrict minority voter access must be in place to conduct secure elections.
"There are definitely problems in Broward County," said Barry Burden, a professor of political science and director of the Elections Research Center at the University of Wisconsin. "I think we can all see that some things are not going well, did not go well. But President Trump's assertions are not grounded in reality. He does not seem to understand how elections work and I think his criticism of election officials are over the top. They are not based in any real evidence or fact."
Florida election law allows certain types of ballots to be counted after Election Day. This includes votes cast by military personnel serving abroad, provisional ballots and others, Burden said.
PoliticsVote fraud fact check: Trump's bogus (so far) claims about Florida
Trump told The Daily Caller in a Wednesday interview that poll workers may also be facilitating Republican election losses by simply failing to notice repeat voters.
"The Republicans don't win and that's because of potentially illegal votes," Trump said. "When people get in line that have absolutely no right to vote and they go around in circles. Sometimes they go to their car, put on a different hat, put on a different shirt, come in and vote again. Nobody takes anything. It's really a disgrace what's going on."
Here are the known facts: Snipes, a Democrat appointed to office in 2003 by then Gov. Jeb Bush, a Republican, won the support of Broward County voters in 2004. Area voters continued to re-elect her, most recently in 2016. On Election Day this month, the county's budget put her in charge of a 74-person staff and a slate of Election Day workers.
Snipes predicted that 2018 Midterms turnout would be high — about 60 percent of Broward's electorate. And, she asked for and received about $18.93 million in county funding for elections that will be conducted during fiscal year 2019. That represents a 2 percent budget increase over the previous year, one of the smaller among Broward's major departments.
Snipes and her staff have acknowledged a series of errors before and after the midterm election. That list includes long polling-site lines in 2002, 2004, 2006, 2012 and 2016; leaving a medical marijuana ballot initiative off of some voter forms and releasing early vote totals before the polls closed in 2016. The Miami Herald reported that Snipes blamed those errors on vendors hired to perform election-related tasks.
Snipes snafus also include a congressional race in which some tallied ballots were destroyed before state law allows. After the election, Snipes and her team took days to count early and absentee ballots, failed to provide the public with tallies of the number and types of ballots which remained to be counted, appeared to misplace some voter forms and mixed about two dozen invalid forms in with ballots to be tallied. Finally, Broward County missed a recount deadline by two minutes.
She knows, as I know, that people have literally bled and died for the vote."
Snipes, like her pastor, the Rev. Dr. Marcus Desmond of New Mt. Olive Baptist Church in Fort Lauderdale, hails from Alabama, home of the Edmund Pettus Bridge, site of a 1965 clash during which state officials beat and seriously injured African-Americans marching for voting rights so severely it is known as "Bloody Sunday." For someone like Snipes, Desmond said, that experience is close, almost intimately understood. Voting is almost sacred.
"I am not, by any means saying that Dr. Snipes is perfect, a human being without failure or flaw," said Desmond. "But what I have heard said about her is far from the person that I know. And the things that I'm hearing said, the extreme accusations do not strike me as the things she would ever do. I would think that she might be the least likely person to willfully manipulate or intentionally pollute the process. She knows, as I know, that people have literally bled and died for the vote."
To Anderson, Snipes and other people who work in the nation's election system appear to have become two of the things that Trump loves most, a foil and a useful distraction.
"What Snipes is to Trump is this 'character,' a black woman in charge of overseeing an election in which there have clearly been some problems," Anderson said. "But you will notice he's not point[ed] to anything specific and perhaps legitimate."

Sophomore quarterback Terry Wilson made significant improvement between Kentucky's first scrimmage in August and the second one where he won the starting job. Kentucky coach Mark Stoops is hoping it will be the same when UK plays at Florida tonight.
Wilson had three first-half turnovers in last week's win over Central Michigan. He was replaced by Gunnar Hoak but then came back in midway of the third quarter to finish the ame.
Running backs Benny Snell and A.J. Rose both ran for over 100 yards and two touchdowns last week. Stoops envisions a similar workload for both players at Florida.

Recently, I'm testing Opera browser. I can say that I should've used it long time ago. A good app nowadays should be available everywhere: Web/Desktop, Android, Windows phone, iOS, … This is the case in Opera. Opera uses Chromium so it's almost as fast as Chrome.

Pedestrian struck by tractor trailer in Rehoboth
The Delaware State Police Collision Reconstruction Unit is continuing to investigate a serious motor vehicle crash in which a pedestrian was struck that occurred early this afternoon north of Rehoboth.
REHOBOTH BEACH: The initial investigation has determined that the crash happened at approximately 12:03 p.m. today, Friday, February 17, 2017, as Brock A. Charles, 32, of Lewes, DE, was attempting to walk in an eastbound direction across the southbound lanes of SR 1 (Coastal Highway), approximately .2 miles north of Shuttle Road.
According to police spokesman, Jeffrey R. Hale, as Charles, who was not utilizing a marked crosswalk, stepped into the right hand lane of SR 1, he was struck by a 2016 Freightliner Tractor pulling a 2013 Great Dane trailer, which was being operated by Michael Jock, 58, of Newark, DE. Charles was thrown in a southbound direction and came to rest in the right hand lane of travel. Michael Jock was able to bring his vehicle to a controlled stop just south of the crash scene.
Brock Charles was treated at the scene by Sussex County Paramedics. He was then transported to Beebe Healthcare where he was stabilized before being transported to the Christiana Hospital and admitted with serious injuries. It is unknown if alcohol or drug use on the part of Charles was a factor in this crash.
Michael Jock, who was properly restrained at the time of the crash, was not injured. Alcohol or drug use on the part of Jock is not being considered as a factor in the crash.
Southbound Coastal Highway traffic was restricted to one lane for approximately 3 hours as the crash was investigated and cleared.
This crash remains under investigation by the Delaware State Police.

Although more precise calculations showed that the path was not going to be that close, the "near miss" was still the talk of the day in my ninth grade physical science class. It was a great day — students were peppering me with questions about asteroids and the solar system. Eventually, one of my students asked about what a large asteroid impact would do to our Moon. I jokingly responded that instead of having on Full Moon, we would have two halves. Most of the students groaned, but I could tell that one of my brighter students was deep in thought. Eventually she asked, "But if the Moon was destroyed, how would we have nighttime?" Very quickly, she realized the flaw in her thinking and yelled out, "Just kidding!"
As the son of two teachers, I learned at an early age that humor — or at least attempts at humor — are a staple of good science teaching. In fact, for years my dad told this joke to his students, "How do you tell a boy chromosome from a girl chromosome?" (Answer: Pull down their genes).

The Santa Clara River may be one of the last of its kind in Southern California
Cheri Carlson
Tom Dudley stood at an old Fillmore watercress farm off a rural stretch of highway and described the dream.
A forest of willow and cottonwood trees, shallow wetlands for wading birds and some deeper spots for ducks – all just a football field or so from what many call the last wild river in Southern California.
The Santa Clara stretches 84 miles and through two counties from the San Gabriel Mountains to the ocean just south of Ventura Harbor.
Over the past 20 years, millions of dollars have been invested to protect and restore the river, work that some say has reached a tipping point.
Groups including the Santa Clara River Conservancy, or SCRC, are looking at ways to ramp up restoration and start to open up areas to the public. People have had little access to the river winding through their communities.
And the spot off Highway 126, called Sespe Cienega, would be one of the prime public access points, said Dudley, a UC Santa Barbara research professor and SCRC board member.
Last week, the California Coastal Conservancy OK'd about $300,000 for habitat restoration and to create a plan for public access at the site near the Fillmore Fish Hatchery.
Formerly a watercress farm, it's now owned by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife.
"Old maps from the mission days show this big kind of a marsh land right here," Dudley said. "The hatchery was built in the 1940s because this was one of the most sustained large permanent wetlands in the whole river system."
While the fish hatchery remains, the wetlands have seen better eras.
Thick stands of invasive reeds called arundo have taken over in parts. Others are still criss-crossed with watercress ponds.
If everything goes to plan, that will change over the next few years.
Not concrete, not L.A.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife now owns the spot and has partnered with the Santa Clara River Conservancy to restore the area.
SCRC has been around for about a decade in different forms but re-engaged its efforts over the past two years, members said.
The group hired Charles Lester, former executive director of the California Coastal Commission, to come on as director. It also wants to partner with the agricultural community.
"It's truly a situation where if we can keep sustainable ag in the area, it doesn't get developed," Dudley said.
Under several state grants, SCRC is working with a handful of partners, including UC Santa Barbara and The Nature Conservancy, at sites near Santa Paula and Fillmore. First up is getting rid of hundreds of acres of resilient but damaging arundo.
Likely brought to the area when the Spanish settled California, the reed's root system spread. A water guzzler and fire hazard, it squeezes out native willows and other trees and can take years to remove.
The $300,000 Coastal Conservancy grant and an additional $237,570 from the California Department of Fish and Wildlife will fund efforts to restore native plants and trees and plan for public access at Sespe Cienega.
"Historically, this area had a really important wetlands and riparian forest," said Christopher Kroll, the Coastal Conservancy's project manager. "In the late 1800s or early 1900s, all of that was cut down."
MORE:Sharks the length of a small bus are showing up off Ventura County coast
This is an opportunity to bring it back, he said.
A lot has been invested into the river, mostly because of its rarity.
Over the past 100-plus years, development had taken a toll on the Santa Clara. But it has stayed largely intact, which is amazing for such a large river in Southern California, Kroll said.
"The Los Angeles River was buried in concrete," he said. "We don't want to see that happen to the Santa Clara River."
Patchwork of private, public lands
The California Coastal Conservancy started working to preserve the Santa Clara in the late 1990s.
In the early 2000s, the Hedrick Ranch near Santa Paula, now owned by Friends of the Santa Clara River, became one of the first project sites. In the years since, the Coastal Conservancy and other state agencies have given grants to a nonprofit partner, The Nature Conservancy, which has acquired roughly 19 miles.
Now, the focus is shifting. After 18 years of buying up properties, The Nature Conservancy and Coastal Conservancy are talking about prioritizing public access projects, Kroll said.
"Hopefully, people in the next couple years will start to see a real change in they can actually start getting to the river easier than they can now."
Lester said SCRC hopes to see that happen. "Part of this effort is that everyone who lives around this corridor can enjoy these resources," he said.
About a decade ago, a plan was developed to create a parkway that ran the length of the Ventura County side of the river. But with a patchwork of private and publicly-owned lands, some said that may not be practical in short term.
Instead, there may a mix of open spots and others that remain private. In the long term, groups said they could look at ways to connect those spots.
At Sespe Cienega, native shrubs already dominate a small area near the fish hatchery parking lot. Local schools and others have been involved with restoring what was a weedy patch of land there, Dudley said. He called it a two-acre start.

Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall (født 9. juni 1774 i Graz, død 23. november 1856 i Wien) var en østrigsk friherre og orientalist.

von Hammer-Purgstall kom 1787 til Wien og blev her elev af det nylig oprettede orientalske akademi, sendtes 1799 til Konstantinopel som tolk ved det østrigske gesandtskab og kom snart efter som sekretær og tolk til at følge med den hær, der under Sidney Smith sendtes til Ægypten for at forjage franskmændene fra landet. 1802 blev han legationssekretær i Konstantinopel, 1806 Østrigs repræsentant i Moldau; 1807 fik han en overordnet stilling i hofkancelliet i Wien; 1847—49 var han præsident for det nygrundede Videnskabernes Akademi i Wien.

von Hammer-Purgstall var en nøje kender af østerlandske sprog, særlig arabisk, persisk og tyrkisk, foruden af adskillige europæiske sprog. Han besad stor arbejdsdygtighed og gennemlæste fra sin tidlige ungdom en mængde østerlandske bøger og mangfoldige håndskrifter, idet han stadig gjorde uddrag og oversættelser af de vigtigere afsnit. Han var en yderst frugtbar, men ikke meget kritisk forfatter, der udgav mange omfangsrige skrifter og talrige afhandlinger i lærde tidsskrifter og lignende.

Hans første værk var Encyclopädische Uebersicht der Wissenschaften des Orients (1804); 1810 grundlagde han med grev Rzewuski det vigtige videnskabelige tidsskrift Fundgruben des Orients (6 bind, 1810—19). Man har af von Hammer-Purgstall mange litterærhistoriske værker, således Geschichte der schönen Redekünste Persiens (1818), Geschichte der osmanischen Dichtkunst (4 bind, 1836—38) og Litteraturgeschichte der Araber (7 bind, 1850—56, ikke fuldendt).

Af hans historiske værker må fremhæves Geschichte des osmanischen Reichs (10 bind, 1827—33, 2. udgave 4 bind, 1834—35), Gemäldesaal der Lebensbeschreibungen groszer moslimischer Herrscher (6 bind, 1837—39); fremdeles skrifter om Assasinerne (1818), om Den gyldne Horde i Kiptschak (1840), om Ilchanerne (2 bind, 1842—44), om Chanerne paa Krim (1856). Han forsøgte sig også i originale digte i østerlandsk stil, udgav flere rejsebeskrivelser, skrev om Steiermarks adel (1855) og en levnedsbeskrivelse af kardinal Khlesl (4 bind, Wien 1847—57).

von Hammer-Purgstall har også udgivet østerlandske tekster med tysk oversættelse, for eksempel Abul-Maanis Juvelsnore (1822), den tyrkiske digter Faslis Gul u Bulbul (1834), Samachscharis Gyldne Halsbaand (1835) med mere. Han har også oversat fra persisk Hafis Divan (1813—14), fra arabisk Udvalgte Eventyr af 1001 Nat (1823—24), fra tyrkisk Bakis Lyriske Digte (1825) og så videre. Fra græsk oversatte han Mark Aurels Selvbetragtninger på persisk.

ALBANY, N.Y. – For decades, Joseph Percoco was among the most loyal aides and confidants to New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, so close to his family that the governor once likened him to a brother.
This week, he faces trial in New York City on federal charges that he used that relationship to collect a fortune in bribes from two companies doing business with the state.
Jury selection is set to begin Monday in a case that has already proven to be a source of personal pain and political embarrassment for Cuomo, a Democrat and possible presidential candidate in 2020 who came into office vowing to do something about Albany's corrupt culture.
While Cuomo is not accused of wrongdoing and isn't expected to testify, the charges against Percoco have damaged both his image as a reformer and one of his signature policy initiatives, the investment of billions of dollars in public money in to upstate economic development programs.
Percoco, and others, are accused of enriching themselves by selling their influence to companies involved in those efforts.
"If you asked people `are you proud of our Albany government?' you wouldn't get a lot of people to answer yes," said Bill Samuels, a longtime progressive activist and advocate for ethics reforms. "Cuomo has had eight years to change this. Where is his legacy? The public is so inured to these trials they've given up."
Percoco's ties to the Cuomo family go back to his service as a teenager for the governor's father, the late Gov. Mario Cuomo. He was involved in Andrew Cuomo's first, failed run for governor in 2002, joined his staff when he was elected Attorney General in 2006 and then helped him win the governor's office in 2010.
As Cuomo's executive deputy secretary, Percoco was a gruff political operative known for his intimidating manner. He left state employment in 2014 to lead Cuomo's re-election campaign and briefly rejoined the administration that same year before taking a job as a vice president at Madison Square Garden.
At his father's funeral in 2015 Andrew Cuomo called Percoco "my father's third son, who sometimes I think he loved the most."
Prosecutors say Percoco sold his influence in the halls of power by taking more than $315,000 from 2012 through 2016 from a Syracuse real estate development company, COR Development, and Competitive Power Ventures, an energy company looking to build a power plant in the Hudson Valley.
In exchange, prosecutors said, Percoco promised to help the two companies with their business with the state. Competitive Power Ventures wanted to sell power to the state, while COR wanted to win state construction projects related to economic development efforts in western New York. Executives from both companies are among those charged in the case.
Percoco has pleaded not guilty. His attorney, Barry Bohrer, has dismissed the charges as "an overreach of classic proportions."
Percoco has acknowledged accepting money from the companies, but said he did so legally as a private-sector consultant, while he was with Cuomo's campaign organization.
Cuomo has said that while Percoco told him he might work as a consultant, he did not say who his clients would be.
The U.S. attorney who originally brought the charges against Percoco, Preet Bharara, was fired by President Donald Trump last year in a nationwide purge of federal prosecutors.
It will be the first major prosecution supervised by his interim replacement, Geoffrey Berman, who was appointed to the job this month pending a formal nomination to the U.S. Senate.
Bharara had said the allegations against Percoco were indicative of a "cauldron of corruption" in Albany. More than 30 lawmakers have left office since 2000 facing ethical or criminal allegations. Bharara's prosecutors won corruption convictions against Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, a Democrat, and Senate Leader Dean Skelos, a Republican, before both were granted new trials. Bharara also investigated Cuomo after he abruptly shut down an anti-corruption commission but determined there was no evidence of a crime.
Percoco's trial is expected to feature testimony from another former Cuomo aide, Todd Howe, who worked as a consultant for both COR Development and Competitive Power Ventures.
Prosecutors said Howe set up bank accounts and a shell company to funnel bribes, including payments to Percoco's wife. She was not charged in the case.
Howe pleaded guilty to charges including conspiracy to commit extortion, bribery, wire and tax fraud.
Several other people are also charged in the case. They include five executives at COR Development and Buffalo construction contractor LPCiminelli as well as Competitive Power Ventures executive Peter Galbraith Kelly Jr. and Alain Kaloyeros, the former president of SUNY Polytechnic Institute who led many of Cuomo's efforts to boost high-tech investment in New York.
The case has been split into two trials, with the second set to begin in June.
Cuomo told reporters last month that he doesn't expect to be called to testify at Percoco's trial, which could last several weeks.
Shortly after Percoco's arrest Cuomo said he was glad his father wasn't alive to witness his friend's alleged act of betrayal.
"It would have broken his heart," he said.

Renting a photo booth for parties is not as easy as just picking someone from a list of names. Thomas F. Rzaca, owner of Extreme Photo Booths, a photo booth rental Philadelphia company, states "You will be spending good money on your event and you want a photo booth company that will fit into your budget, but more importantly into your event." In addition to the company providing hours of fun and entertainment, they will also be providing memories for years to come. So you want to make sure the photo booth company you select is right for you.
So before you select a photo booth company, here are 4 things you need to know.
#1	Do NOT use discount coupons!!!
Discount coupons sound really good at first and everyone thinks they are getting a great deal. But so many photo booth companies that offer discount coupons never deliver. Not only do they not deliver, but numerous companies have gone out of business because they cannot sustain their business with the huge discounts offered with the discount coupons. Mr. Rzaca from Extreme Photo Booths stated "It is very upsetting to hear a Bride cry because she has found out the day before her wedding that the photo booth rental Philadelphia company she hired using a discount coupon is no longer in business. Not only does she not have a photo booth for entertainment, but she has also lost her money!" Just remember, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.
#2	Make sure you see what you are getting!!!
Many photo booth for parties companies don't even put a picture of their booth on their website. If the photo booth is not on the home page, beware! The photo booth rental Philadelphia company may be trying to hide an old, unprofessional looking photo booth. Make sure you see the booth and that you like the look. Also, try to picture how it will look at your event and if it will blend in.
#3	Know who you are hiring!!!
It is easier than you think. When searching for a photo booth for parties, check the photo booth company's website. See how long they have been in business. See how many events and what type of events they have successfully completed. A more established company may cost a little more, but they have worked out any issues and will be able to provide a better experience for your guests.
#4	Beware of the upsell!!!
Make sure the photo booth for parties company is providing everything in their package. So many companies offer options that you just have to have at an additional cost. So before you know it, that discounted price has doubled or even tripled. Extreme Photo Booths owner, Thomas F. Rzaca states "Extreme Photo Booth for parties provides only 1 package. We include everything so our client can truly have a memorable event without breaking the bank!" Some of the essentials that the photo booth company should be providing at no additional cost are unlimited prints, a scrapbook and delivery. These are necessities and you should not have to pay extra for them.
Follow these simple steps in searching for a photo booth for parties, and you are on your way to a fun, exciting and memorable event.
