The race for Florida’s 18th Congressional district has taken an ugly turn, with charges of incompetence, illegal activity and possible fraud on the part of local election officials. Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy has declared victory with an apparent 160,328 votes to West's 157,872. However, serious questions arose immediately about the integrity of the vote count, especially in St. Lucie County. On election night incumbent Republican Allen West had maintained a district-wide lead of nearly 2000 votes until the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections inexplicably “recounted” thousands of early ballots, resulting in 4,400 vote shift to the challenger. Observers on the scene say the process is biased and the election results are fatally compromised. Mr. West is asking a court to impound the ballots and order a recount.

On Tuesday only one precinct had less than 113% turnout, “The Unofficial vote count is 175,554 registered voters 247,713 vote cards cast (141.10% ). The National SEAL Museum, a St. Lucie county polling place, had 158.85% voter turn out, the highest in the county.” The Supervisor of Elections, Gertrude Walker, had this to say concerning the 141% voter turnout: “They may have had something like that in Palm Beach County, but we’ve never seen that here.” So maybe Allen West wasn’t crazy to ask for a lock-down on the ballot boxes and machines in this county. According to the report given the day after elections, Allen B. West garnered 52,625 votes in St.Lucie county and Patrick Murphy 65,896 votes. This is a problem that must be addressed right away. There is no reason that there should ever be more than 100% turnout. This county alone could have cost Allen West his election. Voter fraud is real, and it is time that this be solved.

Sooooo a 141% voter turn out (if it's true) is acceptable?

The state of Florida says he lost his re-election bid by 2,442 votes. That is beyond the required recount totals. His only alternative now is to take it into the courts if he feels there is valid cause for voting fraud.
Why do these Republicans that get booted from office feel they have to hang on? West, Romney, Santorum, Palin, Cheney. Please just GO AWAY.

Exactly. Blowhards like West, Limbaugh, Hannity, these guys are like gold to the Democrats. The more they rant, the bigger they lose. They just don't get it, do they? They are completely oblivious to the fact that THEY are the cancer within. They will never learn.

Well, he is 88 years old. Unless peanuts are the fountain of youth, he should be kicking the bucket anytime now.

LOL. Allen West used negative ads against his opponent for being intoxicated in public. Here's the mug shot...

But he still couldn't beat Patrick Murphy. Kudos to the Florida electorate for giving the pompous behind West the heave-ho.

Bachmann won 50.59 percent of the vote to Graves' 49.41 percent.
After initially saying in the wee hours that a recount was likely, Democrat Jim Graves has graciously conceded Wednesday morning around 10 a.m.
Graves said he called Bachmann to concede, and wished her and her family the best. But when Republican lose it's voter fraud

Care to elaborate ?
Obama won both Florida and Ohio despite republican voter suppression in both states.
Republican attempts to block Obama supporters from voting backfired, infuriating voters and driving them to the polls.
The strategy to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing people from exercising their right to vote
is simply disgusting

#23 Posted: 11/11/2012 10:39:28 AM Wait a minute, if there WAS shenanigans in that county, how do we know it was caused by the Democrats?
This may be hard for some of you to believe, BOTH PARTIES' PARTISANS WILL CHEAT. It's not like Demos have that much different DNA than Republicans. |
