As a commissioner, Satcher would have immediately allowed county employees to open carry in the office. It was other commissioners who walked him down into getting the Sheriff's and employee's thoughts first. Putting him in charge of any department runs the risk of off the handle decisions. He would choose what he believed to be religion's way above the lawful way (if he even knew). His first order would be end early voting on Sundays. Satcher is a known conspiracy believer and election denier who would likely copy other state's vote restricting practices like lowering the threshold to invalidate signatures. We all know what is going on here. Satcher wants to continue living off the dole of a government paycheck. Please send Governor Desantis a short email urging him to make this appointment based on competence and qualifications. Scott Farrington is the better choice.

I agree Satcher should resign. Obviously he doesn't want to be a Commissioner but a constitutional officer. The man has no experience of any kind, even less than when he ran for commissioner. He would be the worst choice going into this year's elections. To put him in charge as SOE would be a total disaster.

Ah! But let’s not forget that in addition to his hellfire & brimstone preaching credentials he’s also got experience as a slimy used car salesman and strip club missionary!

This would be funny if it wasn't so true.

Well, if his track record As a commissioner has anything to do with it, he would make a terrible choice for this position as well. His voting record in gutting the wetlands, voting to Redirecting homeless Veterans funds for Amanda Ballard office design and has rubber stamped every large development that came up for a vote, and who he is beholding to the developers and not the citizens of not only his district but the entire county… One and Done

If Satcher gets appointed it would be a fiasco for a county whose elections office has run so efficiently from Bob Sweat through Mike Bennett. He has absolutely no experience running any kind of office.

Just wait until he realizes you can not vote early on Sundays, and that public libraries host early voting locations. Can't have that because then voters might want to check out a book.

OMG, the look of obvious pain & discomfort on DeSantis’s face as he fake smiles for the camera, sandwiched in between those 2 whacko nutjobs! Is it just me or does he look even MORE uncomfortable and awkward than usual?
