Oliphant says she's fighting so Florida won't be 'butt of jokes'
http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/local/southflorida/sfl-celect09oct09,0,2034225.story?coll=sfla-home-headlines


Continuing the purge of her office staff, Broward County Elections Supervisor Miriam Oliphant on Wednesday fired the clerk who tipped state prosecutors to the location of hundreds of absentee ballots that were never counted in the September 2002 primary.

Robert Adams said Oliphant gave him no explanation as she ordered him to choose between being fired or quitting. His dismissal caps a six-week shakeup by Oliphant that has included the forced departures of her top deputy, chief financial officer, absentee ballot supervisor and pollworker supervisor.

If anyone should be losing their job in that office, it is Miriam Oliphant.
