The Palm Beach County vote tabulation center in Riviera Beach was packed with Allen West supporters Thursday, many of whom wore black motorcycle vests. The cyclists came to support their fellow freedom rider, West, and volunteered their time to observe the handling of ballots.
The men described for BizPac Review the kind of day they had under rules established by Susan Bucher, Palm Beach County’s supervisor of elections.
Like many others interviewed about the West ballots, the motorcyclists spoke of Bucher’s rudeness and hostility, some of them even privately referring to her as the “Wicked Witch of the East” because she was so abrupt.
NOTE: All the views expressed represent individuals and not the motorcycle clubs in general. Enforcers Motorcycle Club would like to clarify that none of their members called the SOE the Wicked Witch of the East.

I was a poll watcher at Precinct 603 and the volunteers that were handling to elect were blatant. They told most of the voters, while they were signing in, to be sure and vote for Obama. They also IOP’d over 50 voters who really didn’t qualify to vote. I called the Supervisor of Elections here in Orlando, FL and she refused to hear that those guys did or said anything wrong. These people are so corrupt until it is frightening that they are in charge. In my opinion, America is going to Hell in a basket. I thank THE LORD JESUS, that some people are born-again, but i also labor in prayer for those who aren’t. I also, feel sad for the Christians, who I believe love THE LORD, but they have been so deceive by the Liar-in-chief. They have no clue that our current president hates all of us and is enjoying destroying our great country.
Mary, you are so right in everything you said.
You are so right and it is perfectly true and all the fraud that went on I am so surprised nothing was done!!!
Well..if black panthers, which really r members of moslem brotherhood allow to scare ppl off at voting places…why not let these riders do the same….playing fair…is the name of the game.
@Gizzy, take your time and read the article. The riders were not there on voting day intimidating anyone. They were there the day after supervising the recount to ensure the the 2000 votes originally counted for West are found after they disappeared, and find out where the 2400 new votes that then appeared for Murphy came from. Also to ensure that the illegal activities that the occurred Tuesday not are carried out again. They are doing an honorable duty.
Susan was Bucher was “rude and hostile”?
I guess these guys would support her for Congress then. Right?
LOL, Termack. She’d need a bike first though.
I met these men and they are the ultimate definition of Patriots. Bad ass looking bunch of teddy bears who understand what’s happening and care about their country. They were at SOE helping their fellow patriotic volunteers to keep the process as fair as we can. An almost impossible feat with Bucher. God Bless these Biker Boys!
I would like to be clear that not ALL of the gentlemen in this interview called Ms. Bucher ‘Wicked Witch of the East.’
Oh, you’re usual excellent job of reporting Michele…NOT. You are a joke. Why don’t you go get the job you talent is suited for … fry captain at McDonald’s.
For the record … only one of these guys called Bucher the the “Wicked Witch of the East”…and that was me. It was a nickname earned by virtue of her demeanor. She is a public servant, yet stomped around with the most dour of countenances and repeatedly responded in a partisan, rude, hostile, manner to people who addressed her in an unfailingly polite, respectful way.
As the President of the Patriot Guard Riders, I want to publicly state that the Patriot Guard Riders are a 501(c)3 apolitical organization, we do not advocate for any political point of view. The gentleman who identified himself as a Patriot Guard Rider while engaging in a political event, did so against our rules. As an American, he is free to express his first amendment rights, however, he is not free to use the Patriot Guard Riders name while doing so.
Second, the Patriot Guard Riders are NOT a motorcycle club, an Association or a Ride Group. We are a group of Patriots who show up to honor the sacrifices of our fallen military heroes, and first responders, when invited by the immediate family, and to attend deployment and welcome home ceremonies when invited by the military commanders. Some of our members ride motorcycles and some drive cars/trucks. There in no requirement to ride a motorcycle in order to be a member of Patriot Guard Riders. Nor is there are requirement that you be a veteran, anyone can join as long as they are willing to demonstrate Honor and Respect while standing on our flag lines.
Mr Winslow, Sir, you are incorrect in your statement and your interpretation of 501 c 3 political activity requirements;
1) Patriot Guard riders prior to this incident had no rules disseminated to members concerning their participation in political activities. I had been a member for almost 7 Years in various capacities and not once had I received such information
2) 501 c 3 requires that CORPORATIONS OR ORGANIZATIONS as legal entities, not participate in political activities, NOT individuals. That means that PATRIOT GUARD RIDERS INC. may not participate in political activities, i.e. writing checks from Patriot Guard Riders Inc in support of political candidates, or sponsoring or sanctioning events in behalf of a political candidate.
Individual citizens regardless of their membership are free thankfully to act in any manner they so choose politically. (there are many American Legion and VFW hats at political conventions) This is STILL America so far.
3) Your statement should have simply been actions or opinions of our members do not reflect the position of the”Patriot Guard Riders Inc. which is a 501 c 3 corporation and does not engage in political partisanship.
I am ashamed that you do not stand for your members who stand for you..
Thanks, Tex, for the clarification. And thanks, George, for making that clear. Seems it’s another replay of Ryan’s dishes. Palm Beach voters deserve better than spin.
Does Allen West know that two of his thugs are gay?
Ganski… I know you love those manly biker types but I think in this case it’s wishful thinking on your part… and besides you better not cheat on me or there will be hell to pay.
