The front door of Duval County Canvassing Board Chairman Brent Shore's Atlantic Beach home. Shore, a county judge, donated 12 times to Trump, even though he is prohibited from doing so.
A local judge and head of Duval County’s vote-counting board has donated repeatedly to President Trump’s re-election campaign and other Republican efforts, and his home is covered in signs supporting Trump, despite rules requiring judges like him refrain from donations or public support.
Duval County senior Judge Brent Shore has served as chairman of the canvassing board because of his role as a county judge. ... Yet judicial rules bar judges from political donations of any kind. ... And canvassing board rules bar members from "displaying a candidate's campaign signs."
Senior county Judge Brent Shore, who has refused to change rules barring the public from photographing or videotaping vote-counting meetings, first donated $20 in 2016 to Donald Trump’s initial campaign for president. He has donated 11 more times since then to Trump for a total of $170, as well as donating $178 in the last two years to the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Congressional Committee and the National Republican Senatorial Committee.
