Broward County Supervisor of Elections Dr. Brenda C. Snipes waits to speak to the media about a plan to mail replacement ballots to voters on Oct. 28, 2004, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

A South Florida elections official says that her office has misplaced more than 2,000 ballots.

The South Florida Sun-Sentinel posted video Saturday of Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes saying that 2,040 ballots had been "misfiled."

Snipes did insist that the ballots were still in the elections building.

Snipes has already been under fire for the way her office has handled the election and recount.
