Lawsuit clouds printing of Broward ballots
Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes' office faces a messy venture in trying to print ballots for the Nov. 4 election because of a lawsuit that could change one of the names on the ballot.
Judge Pedro E. Dijols, who narrowly lost a three-way primary in August, has sued in a bid to get back on the ballot to face Bernard Isaac ''Bernie'' Bober. The judge's lawsuit claims that Mardi Anne Levey, who had narrowly edged him, should be removed from the ballot because she ran under a last name that is different from the one she uses in her practice: Cohen.
Under state law, the supervisor must send absentee ballots overseas by Saturday. Broward will print about 2,000 ballots in house within the next few days. And the office planned to send the ballot information to the printer this past weekend to prepare more than 900,000 ballots for domestic absentee voting, early voting and Election Day.
Broward Supervisor of Elections spokeswoman Mary Cooney said Friday that the office would put Levey's name on the ballot.
''We can't wait,'' Cooney said. ``We are going to proceed on schedule unless ordered by the court to do something different.''
