A Florida elections official under fire for the state's ballot counting process dismissed her biggest critic — President Donald Trump — saying Tuesday, "he hasn't met me."

Broward County Supervisor of Elections Brenda Snipes was accused by Trump of "finding Democratic votes" amid the state's recounts — a charge he lobbed without providing evidence.

"Well, I don't have a treasure trove for going out digging on the beach or somewhere to find any votes," Snipes told WPBF-25.

"But I've never had the opportunity to meet the president other than seeing him through television, and he hasn't met me.

"We will complete the recount. There has never been a deadline that we have missed," she added.

Florida's gubernatorial and Senate elections remain uncalled, and former GOP Gov. Jeb Bush and current GOP Gov. Rick Scott — whose own Senate race is on the line in the recount — are among those who have called for her ouster, The Hill reported.

Snipes also suggested she might be ready to move on.

"I think I have served the purpose that I have come here for, which was to provide a credible election product for our voters," she said, the news outlet reported.
