16,000+ Votes Being Recounted in Allen West Congressional Race
A potentially election-changing recount of more than 16,000 votes got underway Sunday morning in the hotly contested race between Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) and Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy.
Election officials in St. Lucie County said late Saturday they would convene “to recount all ballots cast during early voting” out of concerns about the ways votes were tabulated on election night — a total of 37,379 ballots, the Palm Beach Post reported.
But Assistant County Attorney Heather Young announced when the proceedings started Sunday that only ballots from the last three days of early voting would be recounted — the only days she said tabulating equipment had a problem reading the votes — accounting for a total of 16,275 ballots.
A complete but unofficial vote tally released Saturday put Murphy ahead of West, 166,799 votes to 164,370, but the Tea Party favorite has refused to concede the race, citing significant concerns about the integrity of the vote count in St. Lucie County.
“Late on Election Night, Congressman West led by 1,700 votes,” West’s campaign said in a statement Saturday. “Following the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections’ decision to recount thousands of early ballots after a technical glitch, the margin shifted by 4,000. In order to ensure that votes were not doubled counted, we have requested that the St. Lucie Supervisor of Elections make public the poll check-in books to ensure the numbers of ballots cast matches the numbers of voters checked-in at the polls.”
West campaign manager Tim Edson told the Post on Sunday they had been told last week it was the first three days of early voting — not the last three — that had had problems. He said all eight days of early voting ballots need to be recounted.
“What’s going on today is a sham,” Edson told the newspaper. “It does nothing to at all to address the concerns we had after being told yesterday they would be recounting all early votes.”
Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, a volunteer lawyer for the West campaign, told TheBlaze on Saturday there was “absolutely no chance of concession” until the campaign’s questions were answered.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 5:56pmYou guys just do not get it yet. You are still just listening to Fox News. Here is the reason Romney lost. Isn’t it funny how so-called Tea Party Republicans lost, but the True Ron Paul Tea Party candidates won?

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 6:57pmBelwraith, maybe you still don’t get it. After enduring the Rove/Bush lies for 8 years, people are done voting for appeasers. Paul brought young voters to the GOP, and they were slapped in the face by the GOP. No more turning the other cheek.
Dis the young and they will dis you, that is, won’t vote. The GOP should have embraced these young voters. Instead they zapped their motivation by spitting in their faces. They stayed home.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 7:28pmBelWraith, Since you obviously did not read the article from the link I posted, I will paste a section of it here:
“Several “Ron Paul Republicans” won close House races, however, including Thomas Massie in Kentucky, and Justin Amash and Kerry Bentivolio in Michigan. Yet Republican “Tea Party” candidates lost across the board – again. That is an indication that Ron Paul may have fared better against President Obama in the general election than Mitt Romney did.”
You see, the nation is leaning toward Ron Paul’s views. You guys, because all the info that you get is from Fox News, are clueless. The true Tea Party was started by Ron Paul and his supporters, and it is made of Independents, Democrats and Republicans. A bi-partisan grassroots movement. You guys thought that it was a Republican only Party, but you were wrong. The Republican co-opted Tea Party put up candidates that were just status quo Republicans, masquerading as true Tea Party candidates, therefore they lost. Once you guys get it, let me know.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 9:59pmJerk…No, you don’t get it. If you look at a Romney loss as a Ron Paul win you’re even more narcissistic than I thought. With youth comes foolishness and it’s sad when that foolishness comes to the detriment of the entire country.
Mad…I did read it and it doesn’t change the fact that Obama is the President…not Ron Paul. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…I don’t have a problem with Ron Paul…my problem is with his supporters. I am neither Democrat nor Republican, and because of reading the “wisdom” of people like you and the jerk, I am not Libertarian either…I think for myself and make decisions for myself, but I’m not so self-absorbed that I’m willing to sit on the sidelines, laughing and pointing fingers saying “I told you so” when the country is in the tank. Your idea of people coming together is for people to come to you…you both act as though you’re always right and have done more harm than good for the Libertarian cause. Congratulations. Now grow up.

Posted on November 12, 2012 at 6:43am@MadAsHeII I will agree with you one one point, the establisment GOP didn’t want any one on the current ticket to win. They chose (can you say guided democracy?) who would be their nominee, picking the most middle of the road candidate they could find. I went along, only because I knew we couldn’t get enough yellow dog Republicans to vote for a libertarian, even if he did run on a repubican ticket. I also believe that Romney would at least share some of my values, where as Obama has none of them. Yes, it was the lesser of two evils. But also, anyone who either didn’t cast a vote, or cast one for someone besides Obama actually cast one for Obama, and against Romney. You may have sent a message to the establisment GOP, but at what cost to our nation? Can we really survive another 4 years of Obama? Possibly if we’d won the Senate too, but now every time we vote against Obama’s agenda, we’ll be labeled as the reason nothing got done.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 7:03pmKeaton, get it straight: “”We just want to count all the votes” cried the Democrats, but that certainly wasn’t the case either. They wanted to re-re-recount the ballots in select Democrat counties, each time with a looser standard, but had no problem in systematically challenging and thereby preventing the counting of over 1500 military absentee ballots, ballots which favored Bush by a 2 to 1 margin. Yet the members of the radical left continue to accuse Bush of somehow “stealing” the election with accusations as widespread as farcical CIA conspiracy theories linked to Bush’s father! Not surprisingly, the media has latched on to practically every single Democrat myth put forward.”

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 6:25pmDems first started demonizing West about his popping a cap next to the jihadist’s head. That was a humane way to obtain info and the prisoner didn’t get a scratch from what happened. When I was in the service many interrogations were carried out in the door of a chopper, at around 1,500 feet. If the prisoner wasn’t forthcoming with info then out he went. The next one inside to be questioned in the door was usually more cooperative. War is hell and you do what you gotta do. The objections to West’s interrogation method reinforces my theory that many Dem males have been feminized.

So Allen West was put out for scaring a prisoner? That action saved the lives of the men under his command. That was the action of a leader not a perfumed prince concerned only for his carrier. I would pick up my ruck and rifle to follow him into hell for doing that. Arm chair solders and paperwork rangers will throw rocks but real warriors know different. More politicians need a good set of stones and this man has them.
The low life Communist/Democrats have been stuffing the ballot box for years. JFK was elected only because Richard J. Daily turned the dead out to vote. He won on the votes of a half dozen Chicago percents. Barrak Obama is a political child of the Daily Chicago Irish political mob. They will cheat as a matter of habit even if they don’t need to. They have been doing this “Chicago way” in that city for seventy years and now it is deeply a part of the Communist Party in this country.
With every day that goes by the possibility of taking the country back from the cheats, idiots and Communists without bloodshed become less and less.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 2:28pmActually, no, LTC West abused a prisoner for no reason. The Iraqi policeman he abused was detained for 45 days, so was the other man that he named after being threatened with death. No weapons or plans were found and the men were released. The only plot to kill LTC West was in his head. He was turned in by another officer who was also looking at charges of abuse. Allen West disgraced himself and his uniform for nothing. The voters of Florida woke up and turned him out of office. Deal with it.

In 2010 election voted in Florida on electronic voting machines. I touched upon a conservative candidate who was at the top and Democrat candidate at the bottom. I pressed in the middle of the conservative icon and the vote went to Democratic candidate. It took 3x’s touching the conservative icon in various places and it wasn’t until i touched the tippy top that it finally went to conservative candidate. But had to press back after the vote was cast. So who knows if those 3x’s or thereabouts wrnt to Democratic candidate

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 11:54amNot only strange of how close but add that in Philadelphia, GOP poll inspectors were forcibly removed from polling locations. Obama received astronomical numbers in those very same regions. Some locations he received “over 99%” of the vote.
Ward 4, which also had a poll watcher dressed in Obama attire, went massively for Obamawhere he had 99.5% of the vote, beating Romney 9,955 to 55.
Voter turnout in Philadelphia was around 60%, according to state election figures while in these precincts it was well over 90% according to House Speaker Sam Smith of Pennsylvania.
Clear fraud, odd percentages, and numbers that don’t add up?
Same thing in 44 Cleveland districts where he won 99.8% of the vote. In Ohio, Obama won in a county with 108% voter registration!

Yes Cleveland M-12-02 More than the number of registered voters actually voted in the precinct. Obama won about 65% of the 520 votes and we will soon know if it was an accounting error or a result of registration rolls not keeping up with change of addresses. In any case the next highest turnouts in Cleveland-area precincts were 17of the 1001 precincts with between 80 and 82% turnout.
I scrolled through over 2000 precincts to look at Philadelphia and found, well, nothing suspicious.
Facts and data can be your friends. Beats conspiracy and hyperbole. Wins more elections, too.

SOY, the rest of his whiney ilk and the alledged Gary Johnson Libertarians are the “I told ya’ so kids” who have always seemed more preoccupied with scoring debating points within their own little social circles or ridiculing Republican failures than they are about responsibly wielding their power and influence on the national level in order to do the heavy lifting that is required to re-orient the Republican Party towards Constitutional moorings.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 11:35amIt doesn’t really go here but I have to comment on the deeply creepy ad playing on the Blaze. Has everyone seen it? It shows an old woman and she says “The planet is getting too crowded and we need to reduce population so our grandchildren can live a good life”. Then she says “I’ve lived a good life”. Cut to an old man who says “I’ve lived a good life”, another old woman who says “I’ve lived a good life” then a group of old people who say “We’ve lived good lives”.
What is the point? The planet is overcrowded so in honor of our new “green” president our grandparents should do the right thing and kill themselves? After all, they’ve lived “good lives” right?
So much for Obamacare not having death panels. I can’t figure out why this is playing on The Blaze TV – it’s a very disturbing commercial.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 11:52amIt’s referencing Agenda 21 (you will see that on the right of the ad) and the adverse effects that will result with the propganda that this UN tentacle will achieve, if successful. And sadly has been successful so far. However, I do agree with you where I feel this ad may be creating confusing results of how it is to be interpreted. Every time I watch it I feel it may be sending the wrong message other than what I would assume was originally intended.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 11:26amWhy should Allen West concede in an election he lost? Allen West came to the House convinced that he deserved to be there and he wasn’t going to co-operate or compromise with any of the Democrats. He was going to stand his ground and vote like the TeaParty wanted. He raged and raved and threw temper tantrums when he wasn’t getting his way and the voters saw that and they threw him out of office. Now, he refuses to concede, once again demonstrating exactly why he doesn’t deserve to be in Congress, he doesn’t have the temperment to do the job right. By the way, the TeaCon candidate who threw Alan Grayson out of office was also not re-elected and neither was Joe Walsh. Michele Bachmann barely survived her re-election despite raising and spending HUGE sums of money to stay in power. Several State Legislatures and a few Governor’s mansions also switched from red to blue. There’s a message there, and you need to hear it. TeaParty, we’re just not that into you.

Second, Allen West was forced into retiring after being handed an Article 32 Non-Judicial Punishment in lieu of a Court Martial He was found guilty of torturing a prisoner who was released with no charges against him due to lack of evidence. West is NOTa war hero. Quite the opposite, he’s disgrace to the uniform he wore and the country he claimed to serve.

Let’s see, according to you, Obama will eliminate me for being a regime tool but if I survive and your side is re-elected your side will eliminate me? This country has been a two party nation since George Washington and the debate over the National bank. I know my history and honor my the Constitution, which is why I voted a straight Democratic ticket. And just so you know, I stood in line for 1 hour and 40 minutes wearing a Constitution scarf around my neck, same one I’ve worn since 2004. And the copy of the Constitution my wallet is signed by a retired Supreme Court Justice, one Congressman and a Senator-elect.

What about all the doctors and nurses and supply and mechanics who never see the front? You have no trouble disparaging my service to my country yet you offer no proof that you’ve even served. I asked what service you’ve given, you offered more attacks on mine and saying I know nothing of yours. I put up, you didn’t. It’s okay. It’s pretty typical for pseudo-Conservatives.
What did the Progressives offer that got my vote? Access to healthcare for the pre-existing conditions. Access to reproductive medicine and services. Collective Bargaining, expanded Civil Rights and getting us out of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 4:48pm“I’ve been a Liberal Democrat since I heard of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy when I was in the Third Grade just after they died.”
Case in point why Conservatives should not surrender King’s legacy to the left in our country. Sure, King later in his career came too close to the welfare state and the theology of the Social Gospel but also espoused faith and moral and character which the left cannot grasp intelligently. He spoke of self-help and self-improvement. He believed in work ethic and thrift in moral and practical terms. He spoke against crime and disorderly conduct. He believed in the Christian tradition, churches and faith-based associations for a grassroots revival of American culture. All stark in contrast to Liberalism’s militant secularlism He stressed the importance of family and the Black family breakdown
Race being one. An agenda that advocates quotas, counting by race and set-asides, takes us away from King’s vision.
King dreamed of a nation for his children where they would be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. He dreamed of a color-blind society based on the equality of all Americans and their sharing of equal unalienable rights.
King also embraced our country’s core founding principles unlike the Liberal beset with nihilistic multi-culturalism. King did not talk about remaking America either. His dream was deeply rooted in the American dream.

Posted on November 11, 2012 at 1:06pm@Dadrocked. How do I explain that an inner city precinct voted overwhelmingly for a Democrat? Probably because most of the voters in that precinct are Black and Hispanic, and these groups voted overwhelmingly for Obama. Women voters voted for Obama and Democrats in huge numbers, too. The gender gap was 10-20% in some states. That isn’t voter fraud that’s voter preference. And what proof do you offer, verifiable proof that even one precinct had a more than 100% voter turnout? Do you understand the difference between voter registration, voter turnout and the majority of votes cast? Do you need me to explain it to you. I had to do that couple of times in 2008. The Republicans got 60% of the White, male, older, Protestant vote. They didn’t do very well with the young, women, minorities and Catholics and non-Christians.
