Florida Fascism: Broward Elections Official Has Opponent Ellen Brodsky Arrested Ellen Brodsky, a widely respected and well liked election reform advocate, was jailed after seeking to attend a Broward County Canvassing Board meeting. Brodsky, a long time election reform advocate was a candidate for Broward County Secretary of Elections. An employee of her opponent and winner in the Supervisor of Elections had Brodsky arrested.

Brodsky is the second election reform figure arrested while simply inquiring about the operations about their elections division. During the Missouri Primary, Phil Lindsay an election reform activist in Kansas City, Missouri was arrested for pointing out that a poll worker was incorrect in requesting a photographic identification prior to Lindsay exercising his franchise (they are not required in Missouri). He disagreed and he too was hauled of by the police. Lindsay and Brodsky have been high profile advocates for clean elections and critical of the operations of their elections officials. Broward County is home of the “butterfly ballot” in 2000, 100,000 missing votes in 2004, and an array of other problems, including 2008 delays, glitches and long lines. Welcome to the new fascism.
