		<description>Former Superintendent Stafford recommended the governor appoint Sonja Daniel to finish his term in office until the next election.  It might have been good to let this happen so that we could choose.  Any idea why DeSantis did not allow the woman to become acting Supervisor of Elections?</description>

		<description>Scary how many people think the way this is being handled is okay.  I have no idea of anyone’s political  party affiliation - nor should it matter to anyone else.  Let him run instead of fighting tooth and nail to suppress him getting on the ballot.   With all elections The VOTERS have the right to decide the outcome</description>

		<description>The Supervisor of Elections should not be approving or not approving of his own opponents. This one position should be administrated by another entity.</description>

		<description>REGARDING:
&quot;Voters feel their opportunity to choose who We The People want in that position has been taken away.&quot;

I wonder if this helps folks sympathies with would-be voters who notice what looks to them like attempts to stop them from voting or letting unqualified voters kill their votes or even pretend their votes shouldn&#039;t be considered.

Pretty much all can picture it if they are the ones being wronged. 
It&#039;s harder when others experience it.

Try to treat each other the way you wish they treated you.

		<description>All these people saying that the lawyer is at fault for not reading the statute...

How about the two experienced Supervisor of Elections employees that have worked there for years giving him the wrong information?!
The filing of the Form 6 Is relatively new and if the Deputy Supervisor of Elections and another staff member signed off on his qualification, and that is their job, why should a candidate, attorney or not, disbelieve them?

Childers did file the Form 6 Financial Disclosure with the state as required and showed the staff the watermark receipt as well as the form online. Sonya Daniels told him that was all she needed to have and she initialed it as complete. So did the second employee that checked her work.

What the public should be asking is WHY Bender&#039;s office didn&#039;t catch whatever they are now saying is wrong and why didn&#039;t they call him back in time before the deadline like they did other candidates? 

Robert Bender was appointed to this position and he should have to run for this position fairly. Besides, he did enough damage as a County Commissioner. 

Also, this is the second candidate that his office qualified and then later disqualified. 

We didn&#039;t seem to have these type of problems under David Stafford.</description>

		<description>Childers should have been told  that a form was missing.  Incumbent  has the upper hand with experience on the job.  If he has the voters convinced  he did  a good  job he will be re-elected anyway.  So what’s the big deal?  Why weasel out of facing a challenger using less  than honorable means ?  Typical politician</description>
