The first unofficial results of the Congressional District 18 race puts Allen West ahead by one hundred eighty five votes in Palm Beach County (68,314 West – 68,129 Patrick Murphy), with some uncertainty remaining about the final count, sources at the Riviera Beach tabulation center said Saturday.
Controversy still hovers over St. Lucie County, where the congressman was trailing by several thousand votes. The West campaign is looking for answers to questions of impropriety surrounding the counting of some of those ballots (see media release).
Attorneys late Friday night told BizPac Review that the first unofficial certification, required by law, had Democrat Patrick Murphy winning. But election officials have until Thursday to provide a final certified count that will include military and overseas ballots.
West’s supporters stuck it out until the end of counting Friday, remaining at the facility until the wee hours of Saturday morning. More than a dozen supporters, many of whom had been there all day, stayed to make sure they watched every vote tabulated.
Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher created what several volunteers called a hostile environment, including rude treatment and threats to kick observers off the premises. Bucher told reporters she was coming down with a cold and had been functioning on very little sleep.
While The Palm Beach Post announced “certain victory” for West Saturday morning, Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, a volunteer attorney with the West campaign, said the count will not be over until questions are answered about voting machine malfunctions and improper handling of ballots.
Counting will continue in St. Lucie County on Wednesday, sources said, but it is not clear yet what types of ballots are being counted.
“Our campaign is awaiting the results of the final vote counts of military ballots in St. Lucie County, but the process has completely ground to a halt as Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker huddles behind closed doors with her key staff and county attorney. Three days later, we are still awaiting basic answers to basic questions.
West for Congress is still demanding answers to a series of questions regarding the claimed “malfunction” of memory cards used in the optical scanners in the first three days of early voting, as well as discrepancies in the numbers of ballots cast compared to how many voters voted, but no response has been forthcoming.
It is just curious that all of a sudden at 12:00 a.m on Wednesday morning, the county decided to re-run a number of early voting ballots, taking West’s tally from up 1,700 vs. Murphy to down 2,400. A key question that needs to be answered is, does the poll book count match the votes cast?
The fact that Walker has been huddling behind closed doors with her attorney, rather than completing the vote count, is disconcerting to say the least. If you have nothing to hide, you don’t hide.”

I think the whole country’s ballots should be recounted because Obama won by voters fraud, better yet there should be a do over on the election with required ID. He stole the presidency, why should we ever vote again if this crap goes on and nothing is done about it…..
You’re right Linda!
After the Fraud in this election campaign and voting process, I had IRC REMOVE my name from the Rolls. I will no longer vote until this government GETS THEIR SHIT STRAIGHT!!
I could not agree, more, Linda! Not only was the count too close to declare Obama a winner, last I heard, the military votes were not included (surprise, surprise), and there was NOTABLE voter fraud in both Ohio and Pennsyvania – two very important states. I think it should be like it was in school – if you get caught cheating, even once, your score is zero!
Are any of you aware that Obama did not win a single state that hss a Voter ID law…where a legal photo ID is required in order to vote. Obama’s lawyers sued some of the states with the large electotal votes to supress voter id because they claimed it put a hardship on some voters who may not be able to get a voter ID…and they won..and do you know what states they sued? Ohio was one…find out which other states were sued or switched to allowing people to vote without legal photo ids…they only had to use a utility bill, a bank statement or phone bill. Just a name and address…no photo to prove who they were…or if they were a citizen or had voted previously…getting the picture…recent amnesty…I think the whole election was full of fraud…and that doesn’t count the fact that I read an article by several big companies that were going to announce large layoffs, but, they were told to hold off giving the pink slips until after the election and they did…they waited until Friday…information about Benghazzi hss been suptressed until after the election…Petraeus resigns t
So right Linda & others here: I am praying Allen West wins. This whole election was a fraud. I demand a recount on the national & local level. The Dems bought our local election. The Libs are evil & obnoxious.
He won with mind control
I am watching this and other sites:

They are collecting reports. And you know that 10 counties in Colorado had more voters than residents???
I am reading endless articles on machine fraud … read this one: Obama wins, America loses! Bob Webster

Plus website devvy.com – has a huge amount of factual info too — americans can’t stand for this! We
are not Venezuela …
Maybe Allen’s recount will expose the fraud in Florida, that occurred in all the swing states. I’m convince Mitt won the election, and likely Allen also.
They are just dismantling our own voting system. That means our FREEDOM ! They have to be stopped. Hang in there Congressman Allen West.
Amen!
Socialists don’t believe in freedom. They believe in big government because they think we are all incompetant and unable to make the right choice for ourselves. Rigging an election is needed for “our own good” which is how they think. China does not allow their citizens to have access to facebook so they can govern what their people see, hear, believe, and do. They also have a “1 child” law. There is no freedom there and over the next few generations or so we will see the UN governing all the continents on this planet. America will no longer be unique. This insane way of governing has to stop before it goes too far. Our voting system needs to be changed to avoid fraud and cheating and manipulating of results. How do these leaders(obama) get the peoples support? By misleading the people and telling them what they want to hear without ever intending to do those things. Dictators and kings have done this since the beginning of time and it is now spreading to us. IMPEACH OBAMA!
A FRIGGIN MEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I fully agree with all the above statements. I truly believe Mitt won this election as; suddenly every swing state became too close to call, despite the fact Mitt was pulling in crowds of 80,000, people had to be turnned away from his events. There were 200 people at Obummers rally with Steveie Wonder – sort of like a personal concert for its attendees. Clinton was at the local community college in my town, 600 people showed up. Watch this video concerning testimony from computer programmers rigging machines to miscount ballots, old but true & technology has certainly improved since: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4aKOhbbK9E I say we begin an organized revolution and demand a recount of all presidential votes. Did the military ever receive their ballots, our military who supported Romney to the tune of 70% – too much does not make sense and I wish Romney would not have been so quick to concede.
Disgraceful what the Democrats have turned this country into. They have been getting away with fraud for many year in the big cities, like Chicago and now using these tactics in all the battleground states. Republicans sit by and do nothing. I know there is some on both sides, but the majority of it is the Democrats and the media protects them which makes it worse. I think Allen West won legitimately and hope he fights it to the very end. I gave toward it and I hope others will too.

follow this link to see how the votes turned out. Romney needs his lawyers to open up a can of worms. This fraud should be exposed and romney declared the winner…
There was absolute fraud in PSL it’s unbelievable that some one that draws 30,000 people can lose an election to some one that draws 2,500 people………more people voted for Obama in Philadelphia then were registered FRAUD
MANDATORY: WE THE PEOPLE demand that OUR gov’t, of the people, for the people and by the people, recount all ballots of LIVING LEGAL CITIZENS ONLY, including late military ballots, as missing the deadline was not the fault of the soldiers. – OR – hold the entire election again, only allowing ID’d registered voters. All absentee votes will be fully scrutinized. Any fraudulent votes will cause a deduction of 10 legal votes from the candidate for whom the fraudulent vote elected. This must be done within 21 to ensure that there will not be enough time for the Chicago-style fraud to be set up.
Although I am not happy with the results of the election for POTUS there were no reports of crowds of 80,000+ for Romney. The largest crowd reported was 30,000 with Kid Rock as the musical guest and speaker. However, the 80,000 people that showed up in Iowa in 08 for Obama was a mere 18,000 in 2012. A fraction of the supporters that showed up in 08. We are stuck with this president for the next four years. There will be no recounts or lawsuits filed. We, instead of feeling sorry for ourselves should now keep the message going in regard to the Benghazi cover up, the suspicious resignation of General Petraeus, hiding Iran shooting at our unarmed drone 16 nautical miles off the coast in international air space, and Valerie Jarett senior white house adviser now negotiating a meeting with Iranians. The election is over. Lets move on and complete the work at hand. Find a strong field for 2016 and expose the progressive movement for what it is, an attempt to remove our freedom. Educate everyone and anyone that will listen. You might lose friends or realitives in the process. But when you vote for love of country there will always be casualties.
Rich, that’s the point… There wil be NO 2016. This is Obama’s “last election”, i.e., the FINAL election. NO MORE ELECTIONS.. AT ALL. EVER.
Yes, we need to keep mentioning all those things, but know this… We are dealing with criminals, and I don’t use that word lightly. We have been “given over into the will of our enemies”, and there will be hell to pay.
This administration is full of corruption. Plain and simple. We have yet to get answers about Fast and Fuious. Now we will not get any information on Libya raid. No budget for four years which is illegal. This guy is made of Teflon. Nothing sticks at all on him or any of his cronnies. I am fed up with their crap and their spending of my money. They are trying to push this country to the edge but they really have no idea how close that edge is. Do not back me into a corner!
