PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. - Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Wendy Sartory Link's Canvassing Board Chair Thursday ordered the removal of a Palm Beach County woman for questioning the different types of ballots being used for November's upcoming election.
"I've been trying to ask these same questions since 2022. There are two totally different types of paper," the woman says.
UPDATE—After stating she had warned her, the woman was removed by two enforcement officers. A man off-camera can also be heard saying it was the woman's First Amendment right to be at the meeting.
Supervisor Link is not seen in the video asking for the woman's removal, but she was present at the meeting and did not intervene with the removal. Link's silence could be seen as a nod of support for the woman's removal.
"Take your hands off me," the woman says before being escorted out by two Palm Beach County Sheriff deputies.
Grabbed alongside by both officers, the woman then begins to raise her voice heading down the hallway. She also complains about her arm being bent during the ouster.
"All I want to know is about the two different styles of paper and how is there a paper drop," the woman says. "I'm a taxpayer here in Palm Beach County, and I am sick and tired of this game that's being played."
She also repeatedly asked officers to let go of her.

"This is disgusting. I'm a taxpayer here in Palm Beach County," the woman says out the door. "And I'm trying to ask a simple question about the two different styles of paper that are being used."
Sartory Link is Democrat who was appointed to her position by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. She was also involved in the "Zuckerbucks" scandal in 2022. Laura Loomer, a conservative journalist called Sartory Link out for taking the "Zuckerbucks," confronting her for taking the money.
"I will file a lawsuit against the Palm Beach County Supervisors of Elections Office if you [Sartory] don't return the money," said Loomer.
