Source: Allen West Now Leads Initial Vote Count in One Fla. County
Rep. Allen West is leading by more than 300 votes in Palm Beach County, Fla., a hopeful sign for the Tea Party favorite fighting for his political life after Tuesday’s election, a source told TheBlaze.
No winner has been declared in the congressional race between the Republican West and his Democratic opponent Patrick Murphy, though Murphy had a 2,456-vote lead in the unofficial vote total.
But a Republican observer who has been monitoring the counting process said West pulled ahead in Palm Beach County on Thursday as the initial count continues. Ballot printing errors led to ballots that could not be fed through scanners in some areas, so Florida election workers have been forced to reproduce their contents onto new ballots that can be read properly, the observer said. As the votes are counted for the first time, West has taken a slim lead.
It’s a separate issue from what’s happening in St. Lucie County, where West has demanded a recount over “disturbing irregularities.” He filed a motion Wednesday to have paper ballots counted and to impound voting machines and all paper ballots cast, WFOR-TV reported.
The observer called St. Lucie County more Republican in makeup while Palm Beach County is a mix but overall Democratic.
“The fact that he is ahead, period, even in this county is a good sign,” the observer said.
Freelance writer Charles C. Johnson contributed to this report.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 4:38pmWhat count. They already counted the ballots. you need less than.50% difference in Florida to trigger a automatic recount and he lost by .65%
Unless a judge request a recount he will lose.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:15pmHe should also impound the list of registered voters who voted. That is the most important thing. If fraud is found in this election, Romney should challenge the general election. My only question is, Why aren’t other republicans doing this? The dems already said they were going to cheat to win. WTF are repubs thinking. Of course they would do what they said.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:31pmI don’t get it. The polls seemed more crowded than last Presidential election, yet the tally shows fewer votes cast–for both parties? Something fishy going on? Were the vote counts reduced for both parties, to conceal that one was reduced more than the other??? I don’t know why the damn voting machines don’t work like a cash register, with a receipt for the voter and a roll of paper for the auditor! The voter might have his receipt scanned by another machine, different vendor before leaving the voting site, to confirm his selections and to provide a separate but parallel data path which can be compared on-the-fly to the original–if the differ, a big red light should flash and a loud alarm, both inside and outside the polling place should sound! The cops should come running and lock down the place until the ‘problem’ is fixed! Voting crime should be punished by a jail term that prevents the criminal from participating in the next such election! (That’s six years for a Senator vote!)

Amazing that the media ignore the Fort Hood terrorist act that killed our beloved soldiers and report about what dress Michelle O can fit into. Disgusting.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 12:00amIf they did a recount of the whole country, Romney would be the new President. From all corners, fraud was observed — no telling how much of it wasn’t observed! There’s no way the results of that election were fair and square — some precincts put out statistical impossibilities. Where’s the outcry? Where’s the call to disqualify the fraudulent votes that are already known and acknowledged?

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:42pmI don’t particularly like Rove, but consider this.
The presstitutes & the Demoncats made hay out of Akins comments. Akins is smart. that is he is smart in his field which is engineering. Where he is not so smart id medicine where he was has a belief in a 40 year old theory that has never proven. That hurt across the board.
then there is immigration. the GO is split. Some people are purists & want no amnesty. Some want amnesty & the same ole same ole (the party apparatchicks) some of us could go for amnesty but we want the border fence built FIRST no excuses. Well the party elite tell us FU (not in so many words but the meaning is the same) on the fence as do the liberals. Well Hannity said that he has changed his view. Fence 1st, then Amnesty. I have been there for a while. Personally I would trade any foreigner who was pro-American for any liberal. But as Rush pointed out there has to be more to the Hispanic vote than amnesty because McCain lost & he was pro-amnesty & damn near got it back around 2006.
Plus how much did the Democrats raise compared to Karl Rove r& others. Like the Newsweek Editor said during the 2004 presidential that the mainstream press was worth 15 points for Kerry. that is a lot to overcome for any national or state election. Presstitutes are a problem!

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 9:52pmNCR ballots for voting. Put one in an optical reader and the other in a magnetic reader. As long as the two machines have the same tally, you’re good. Anything less and the whole thing has to be hand counted. Have each ballot have a control number on both parts. The readers could record those as well as the votes. It would be a snap to cross check and verify the voting accuracy. There also has to be implemented some form of identification required. I would say that a finger print reader would be easiest, especially since it would not only block people from voting repeatedly, it would prevent felons from voting as well.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 10:51pmI was wondering about using a drivers license or some kind of government issued I.D. card – after signing in at the polling place and having your ID verified, you would swipe your card at the voting machine. I’ve had my driver’s license swiped at a store when I paid by check, it contains info about you. Would that work?

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 12:03amThe finger print reader should be a must considering the sizable portion of illegals able to influence an election they have no legal right participating in. The left has cast aside scruples, morals, integrity and now the very survival of the nation as it was founded in order to win power for themselces and power over us. The GOP must not comply with the liberal calls for them to move further left …that is a con and part of their overall plan…The Congress and the House must stand firm and demand real spending cuts, block massive tax increases or anything else the lefties feel entittled to….they are not entittled to getting everything they want and this second term Obama will have to lead and actually do some work…….it is then that the clowns that voted this for turkey will see what the rest of have been seeing ….an amateur in way over his head unable to compromise nor lead. He can’t blame what is coming Jan 1 on Bush and get away with it.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 4:18pmWe need to provide a fingerprint when we cast a vote. We have the technology, and only criminals would have a problem with that. This would exclude multiple votes by the same democrat, I mean person, and it would also verify if you can legally vote at all. If you have ever been in the military your print is already on file, and a lot of states require one for a driver license. Most democrats have fingerprints on file at the local police station already. We should be allowed to keep a paper copy of our vote too, just in case the democrats accidentally lose the voting machines. Sure, a few democrats will use a dead mans finger, but nothing is perfect.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 5:34pmMaybe not a finger print, but dipping your finger into special ink may be better heh. I personally think people should have to take a test before they can vote- that be part of the new registering. Quick test about current events, the gov, and candidates running (their policies and such). You fail the test, you don’t vote in that election- better luck next time; maybe you’ll pay attention more to what goes on in your country. The elderly, veterans, and active duty are exempt from the test.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 12:10amFingerprint identification technology is still pretty crappy. You can fool fingerprint scanners with a simple photo copy reproduction of a fingerprint.
Besides in order to use a fingerprint system for voting you’d first have to fingerprint all registered voters and put them in a government database. You’re not going to find too many people too excited about willingly adding their fingerprints to a government database.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 12:33amI think a new law that suspends a citizens voting franchise if they are on welfare is a logical and reasonable step. As soon as that citizen is off the roles and has a job supporting themselves with no state or Federal assistance (for ordinary living expenses) they get the franchise/right back. No skin in the game = no say on how it’s run or who runs it.

Face it Gasser you lefties have sold your souls to a party and a man that has been the worst President in US history (on economics alone) and you are happy that you gave him another term to do the same ? I doubt you are a American or you are a complete moron. What do you think is going to happen on Jan 1st when the largest tax hikes in US history kick in ? The economy will take off like a rocket ? Obama intends to allow all of the tax breaks to expire….that means for everyone, not just the rich…Many thousands of jobs will be lost, many businesses will close forever and the revenue stream to the Feds will decrease and not increase…the so called 1% tax hike will only reap a tiny fraction of revenue and it will force many large companies and citizens of wealth to shift that wealth out of the country at a faster rate. You lefties think you have won but in reality all you did was become the only ones left holding the bag when the nations plunges off the fiscal cliff. Obama and the left owns 100% of what it does from here on in…..there is no one else to blame anymore …you lefties have the job of cleaning up a mess you made infinitely worse during Obamas first term…better get to it.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 5:05pm“The Smith-Amash Amendment discussed Thursday night would specifically ban that from happening, changing the law to say instead that anyone arrested in the U.S. under NDAA would receive due process in civilian court.
At 12:10 a.m. on May 18, Congressman Allen West took the floor in the House of Representatives and said the amendment should be shot down.
Though West said at the beginning of the year that the NDAA did not allow for indefinite detention of Americans, today he suggested that it did — and that it was necessary”

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 4:11pmlots of people sat this election out….on both sides…the moderate Dems that couldn’t bring themselves to vote Republican….and the libertarian Ron Paulies….and about 14 million evangelicals that weren’t even registered but always spout off about how bad Obama is…but they hate Romney because he was Mormon and used to have a quasi-pro choice attitude…
less people than in 2008 for BOTH sides….but the Obama core…the blacks, hispanics, and youth turned out in equal numbers to 2008 and swung the election his way…especially in the inner city areas which is why PA, OH, VA and even IA, MI, WI, and MN turned from being tied for most of the night to pro Obama like in 30 minutes….
these were also the areas that had judges handing down orders ALL day against voter fraud and unfair practices….Dem poll watchers keeping GOP watchers out, sometimes by force…Black Panthers stalking voters outside inner city polling places….lines being closed and doors locked against state policy
seeing as things will never be handled, not with this DOJ…whining and moaning and crying about it will DO NOTHING…unless you SERIOUSLY wish to take up armed rebellion against your government and place probably 100 million people in the crosshairs for death…and if you do that.. YOU LOSE!! forever…you lose…you become what they say you are..radical, extreme, savage…

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 4:29pmThe alternative, which you do not elucidate, is that I allow others to close the rivets on the chains of slavery around the necks of my children and their posterity. What do you think my choice is? Life is not so precious that I would scratch and snivel to hold on to it. Rather, I have seen for the first time a real opportunity. Let the system crash. I lamented during the campaign when I could remember what it felt like as a kid to grow up in Reagan’s America. I have since thought that on the other side of the difficulties that my children could instead taste of something that even I have not, that generations have not- REAL freedom. I could say more, but I’m sure the sentiment is clear.

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 8:00pmI agree that putting a 100 million people in the crosshairs is something I do not ever want to truly think about doing. I know some keyboard warriors here have called for that the only option that I see is to let the current system fail. Liberals are children, so how do you argue with a child, you can put them in the corner, spank them, or ignore the temper tantrum. I prefer to ignore the tantrum. The house should vote present for the next 2 yrs until the midterms. Let them have whatever crap they want. It will fail, just don’t leave them a reason to blame us we have to leave it on their shoulders. We can’t keep giving them reasons to demagoue us to death. Whenever we are all standing in line for gas like in NJ we then will have only one group and POTUS to blame. That will be the only way to get through to a liberal. Remeber a liberal is a conservative that hasn’t been mugged yet.

Posted on November 9, 2012 at 3:02pmWho lost this election are 6 mllion evangelicals who voted for Obama.
I am sure most of them go to seeker friendly churches with lots of programs that don’t teach anything but the milk of the word (which is easily perverted) because Hebrews says only to those with strong MEAT is there discernment of good and evil.
What made this country great was that it was good, it was founded on Judeo/Christian principles and thrived and prospered. We have abandoned those principles. Do you think George Washington would have condoned the slaughter of unborns? Do you think he would have embraced sodomy as an acceptable alternate lifestyle. America has lost its moral compass and this is the result, for you to compromise God’s agenda to elect a candidate will not be blessed. I believe Romney is a good, decent man and I do believe he would have turned this economy around and he supported life and marriage between a man and a woman. I blame this debacle on so-called Christians 6 million evangelicals that voted for Obama because the economy was their issue. Irony is had they supported the Almighty’s agenda (as I am sure our Founders would have) then the economy would have turned around. Seek Yea first His Kingdom and Righteousness and all these things will be added unto it. You compromise and as the Word says “except the Lord build the house – they labor in vain that build it.”

Posted on November 8, 2012 at 10:30pm@BODYBAG I agree. There was way too much enthusiasm at rallies, too many people involved and motivated, too many organizations and groups, too many people that switched their vote from 2008, the local raw polling couldn’t have been that far off. Obama didn’t campaign on election day, he certainly didn’t show up at the first debate, his campaigning was big money dinners, he couldn’t attract a crowd or volunteers. There were hardly any signs or bumper stickers. I’m told NY and NJ were one of the earliest states to submit their returns. Amazing considering they are homeless, devastated, starving, thirsty, gas rationing, BUT they get their voting polls organized, up and running, and turn in early results? I can’t believe they had more people turnout in 2012 than in 2008.
