Palm Beach County elections supervisor Susan Bucher is refusing to comply with a court order to submit “problem ballots copied by her staff but were not reviewed by the county’s Canvassing Board to ensure they were copied properly“:
It’s unacceptable that SOE Susan Bucher says she will not comply with the court order to submit overvotes and undervotes to the Palm Beach County Canvassing Board for review. Floridians deserve full transparency.

Rick Scott put out a statement saying “it’s irrelevant at this point” to debate if “it’s gross incompetence or intentional disregard for the rule of law”:
