Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher called a Palm Beach County sheriff’s deputy to the Riviera Beach vote tabulation center Thursday to escort an older volunteer for congressional candidate Allen West off the premises.
Bucher asked Norman Gavin to leave after he complained that he could not see the ballots or hear the conversation between two elections workers handling them. He insisted he had to get closer.
Bucher said the volunteer “did not respect the boundaries” she set because he was trying to get closer to the tabulation table to see and hear better, and would not back off when asked to do so.
Complaints poured in all day from observers who said workers handling the ballots were shutting them out.
Beverly Hires, an attorney and West volunteer, said most of the complaints were coming from elderly observers who may have had trouble seeing or hearing and had felt intimidated by being ordered around.
Before being escorted outside by the deputy, Gavin told Bucher he was standing up for his rights. He was told he was no longer allowed to volunteer as a poll watcher.
Stay tuned for more news and other interviews from the West ballot count in Riviera Beach.

This is bullshit. WTH does this bitch think she is? We are Americans and if we have the right to observe, then we have the right to observe and you can’t mark where I have to stand if I can’t hear or see what’s going on…UNLESS YOU ARE HIDING THINGS. There has been so much cheating and lying on Voting day that I would believe that it was bought. How can all the Political experts that have said Romney would win by a landslide and then all of a sudden he loses. Anyone who doesn’t believe this Election wasn’t rigged is is a Flaming Liberal. We need to check everything including all Voting machines this country. THIS WAS RIGGED!!!!!!!
Its time to LOCK AND LOAD. There is no way this nation goes through four more years of obama without bloodshed in the streets. Mark my words, you need MILK BREAD and plenty of 45 caliber ammo.
Ron, you just commited the crime of sedition. I am referring your post to the U.S. Secret Service. Don’t be surprised if you receive a visit.
You just committed the crime of calling yourself an American.
And you just committed the crime of being incredibly stupid.
Chuck, unfortunately, a lot of the poll workers are elderly… I use to work in the polls in Indiana and when I started volunteering they were happy to see the new ‘blood’ come in as they called it. There are no young people volunteering at the polls… so the elderly feel a responsibility to continuing doing their civic duty until they are relieved.
the election was RIGGED for sure and i do not like liberals and democrats they are stupid and uninformed , they have no clue what shariah law is or about agenda 21 or the ndaa natioinal defense authorization act or hr house referendum 347 and when asked about benghazzi the dummies said who is he!! lol they are dumb and choose to stay that way! grrrrrrrrrrrrr i could write a book about their stupidity! this is why we are in danger muslim influence is very strong in the white house ! and all the dumb dems and libs are marching us to our untimely deaths!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paula, the depth and expanse of your stupidity dwarfs the known universe.
Paula.. you could not write a book about anything. You can hardly form a sentence. So carry on with your illiterate rant about the stupid liberals. You are entertaining in that train-wreck kind of way.
Chuck is a perfect example of “you can’t fix stupid”.
Black police officer: “She just ‘axe’ him to leave.” No wonder that the country is going to hell !
My wife has a slight speech impediment. While she does great now compared to as a kid, she still says ‘axe’ instead of ask and ‘crown’ instead of crayon. She’s working on a psychology degree and does accounting and contracts at a major car dealership. She’s a Republican and a military brat. (I say that lovingly.) So don’t disrespect someone because the are not as articulate as they need to be. I know plenty of cops (of all races) in the Las Vegas area and many are working on different types of degrees as they know they can’t be a cop forever and not all of them are as verbally proficient as you may like them to be. I’m a life long Republican and my dad is as well. And I get tired of seeing racist, idiotic comments like yours that give Republicans bad names and make us sound “too white, too right, and too uptight.” We were the party that help free the slaves. This party was a great party. Comments like yours are what bring us down and no wonder others don’t want to associate with us.
Danny, you are a racist.
Lawbear is a racist as well. Anytime I am called a racist I am going to prove your point by stating something racist. Y’all niggas got some payback comin. Does that fill your racist cup for today? Lawbear is a girly man leftist.
I don’t have any further questions of you whalecrap, except to ask for your psychiatrist’s name and number so I can call him and ask him to increase your medications.
Lets bring this country back as the founders saw it. White, land owning men over the age of 21.
It was a TOTALLY RIGGED election. Consider this……why did EVERY state where u had to show ID got for ROMNEY and the STATES where NO ID was required was for Obummer? Another thing is in OHIO Obama supporters put FLYER in peoples mailboxes that made it look like it was From Romney supporters. It the Flyers it used the “N” word numerous time. ALSO ppl were being bused in and sent to WRONG districts on purpose. People in some states were able to Vote more then ONCE. AND there is even a video of obama volunteers that were giving away FREE cell phones to ppl that voted for Obummer. I think all of this needs to be looked into and if its PROVEN that all this did happen then Obummer should have to FORFIT the presidency.
Even the MSM polls had Congressman West up prior to the election….so tell me, how the hell did this come about unless there was voter fraud, dismissing West ballots…and my favorite, not counting military ballots. I freaking hate Democrats more ow than I did before the election. Somebody explain to me why I served this nation and became wounded just to watch crap like this happen.
Elderly people do not hear or see as well and need to be in closer to do their job. Obviously the counters had a reason they didn’t want these people in close enough. Imagine that!! A rigged recount!! Who would have thought it would happen!!
As sampling would go this is a national problem. The whole election was a rigged farce between faulty counting and polling machines defaulting to Obama.
the republicans need to stand up for us, we support them and they need to man up!!
I see no way or “reconciling” or “compromising” with these usurpers of power. We can no longer share the same country. It’s either us, or them. We have to make our choice… or, they will make it for us.
Us as we love this country, Libtards want to destroy this country as they are all mentally deranged, including Ms. Bucher.
i am so so disgusted with the direction our country is going! we are in serious trouble, we now are being over ridden with freeloaders that want freebies!
This was not a recount. This is still original count of votes. Military votes came in and West observers were told that we would not be allowed to see them. The process of sorting takes place in the BACK OF THAT ROOM where NO ONE ELSE IS ALLOWED TO GO AND/OR OBSERVE. The gentleman above had no sight problems causing the obstruction. The man working with the ballots (who the above gentleman was observing) was sitting way back and very wide in his chair, back so far that the observers were too far away to actually see what was being done with the ballots. The above gentleman observer was actually tall enough to actually bypass this man’s blocking set-up – and he realized that in order to see he would have to sit forward more. It iwas his initial act of sitting forward more to see (because he was being blocked from watching by the way the ballot workers were sitting) so he could actually “observe”. I know because I was in his seat immediately before him and was frustrated because of how far back and unaccomodating the two ballot workers at that table were behaving.
Ms. Bucher should not be allowed to oversee anymore elections as she is obviously biased.
it is not the supervisors job to choose what party she is protecting!! she needs to go! this man had a job to perform and it seems to me that our elections are being hijacked ! i was supposed to be a poll watcher but had to work, and let me tell you it would and will be a cold day in hell before i would let anyone intimidate me! of course this poor man was in riviera beach, and the officer obviously does not respect the rights of white folk, he was a bit racist, throwing the man out to protect obama ‘s votes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! obama has divided the people of our country , we now have freeloaders and hard workers ! unfortunately the freeloaders are vigilent to protect their freebies, sorry had to vent as i am disgusted ! we have lost our freedom and pride!
