Allen West has just released a statement that suggests this race is far from over; even though, the actual vote count shows Murphy in the lead.
West's campaign manager, Tim Edson, released the following statement regarding the results:
"This race is far from decided, and there is no rush to declare an outcome. Ensuring a fair and accurate counting of all ballots is of the utmost importance. There are still tens of thousands of absentee ballots to be counted in Palm Beach County and potential provisional ballots across the district.
"Late last night Congressman West maintained a district-wide lead of nearly 2000 votes until the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections 'recounted' thousands of early ballots. Following that 'recount' Congressman West trailed by 2,400 votes. In addition, there were numerous other disturbing irregularities reported at polls across St. Lucie County including the doors to polling places being locked when the polls closed, in direct violation of Florida law, thereby preventing the public from witnessing the procedures used to tabulate results. The St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections office clearly ignored proper rules and procedures, and the scene at the Supervisor's office last [Tuesday] night could only be described as complete chaos. Given the hostility and demonstrated incompetence of the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, we believe it is critical that a full hand recount of the ballots take place in St. Lucie County. We will continue to fight to ensure every vote is counted properly and fairly, and accordingly will pursue all legal means necessary."
Votes are still being counted in Palm Beach County. They're currently at a 50-50 split, so a recount of the duplicated absentee ballots that were mailed out may need to be recounted.

I smell "Hit Job". Hang in there Colonel!
God i hope he pulls it off....this party does not have enough fighters like Allen West...
IF ONLY all conservatives held the line to uncover DNC fraud.
Our elections are a mess. In Michigan Wayne county (Detroit), Berrien county (Benton Harlem) and Genesee county (Flint) still haven’t turned in their official tally.

An interesting view:
It was the media (MSM) that, all through the evening, “called” the election for Obama. And conservatives sat in stunned disbelief. Yet, wasn’t it the MSM that had been in “the tank” for Obama since 2006, providing him political cover time and time again? And here we just take them at their word.
When they “announce” an election result, our skepticism is swept aside?
Why?
And notice as soon as the polls close in a blue state, Obama was basically called the winner with little of the vote counted. However, in red states like S. Carolina and Georgia, they wait forever to call them for Romney.
My contention since 2000 is that the left’s goal is to systematically destroy our faith in our electoral system, for both parties, precipitating a civil war.
A net difference of 4400 votes is a bit much to “miscount” on the early ballots, I’d say.
Isn't that sort of like folding your money in half and then claiming that you doubled your money?
West doesn’t bend over for anybody
Incredible; (as well, pathetic and outrageous) if he actually 'won'.
Mia Love lost at the last second too.
BUMP
Maybe Allen should not have voted for NDAA or funding Obamacare.
As the close Florida vote for president drug on into the night, and Dade and Broward county were very slow turning their counts in, I couldn’t help but wonder if everything was as it should be. Now some of the information concerning the counting in AW’s district makes we wonder again.

I wish Mitt would have held out the concession speech for a little while. I’m glad West is holding out, because I suspect fraud. Hah, I know there’s fraud everywhere in the swing states and for those conservatives who were targeted.
Go West!! Don’t concede until the votes are all counted properly.
That’s what I was noticing also...the Media calling this election, way early while people were still voting in the swing states. I kept going WTH? Have the absentee and military votes even been counted?
I agree. I bet there’s some degree of fraud in every big Democrat precinct. The precinct folks control every step in the voting/custodial/counting chain, except for the observers who couldn’t possibly detect every possible fraudulent trick.
West is one of the few Republicans who’ll challenge it when things appear not as they should be.
Allen:
You need to move on. This election sucked. Not for Obama being re-elected but for the results in the Senate and Congress.
It seemed mathematicaly probable we would gain seats in both houses but, somehow we got rolled back.
Bitch Slap!
The Effin weird thing about this election is that less Republicans voted for Mutt than McCain.
How is that even possible?
We had energy to make this thing happen and gain those majorities in the Houses but, for some strange reason even less Republicans voted than in 2008.
I don’t get it.
Additionally, so many issues passed that shouldn’t have passed if Republicans showed up as we expected.
Gay Marriage in two states? You MTHRFKN retards who didn’t show up should be ashamed of your selves.
You’re retarded. Lame. Spiritual skanks.
But, we’ll live through this. Barry ain’t running again for anything except for Ban Ki Moon’s position.
Less republican voters now than 4 years ago? Really? Really?
I like West but he needs to explain his ‘Aye’ vote for the nazi Germany style NDAA bill which is the indefinite detention of American citizens by our own military here on our own soil. No due process, no attorney, no judge, no court hearing allowed or required for American citizens arrested based only on the Fed’s discretion of who/what is a ‘terrorist’. Remember, Biden called the Tea Party ‘terrorists’. The NDAA bill is about as Nazi as you will find and West voted for it.
Does he need help? I can be there in 24 hours.
Looks like we need one
That’s what has surprised me. Four years ago, my neighborhood in South Florida had a ton of Obama signs, and virtually no McCain signs. This year, I would say the Romney signs outnumbered the Obama signs by about ten to one (by actual count of about 60 signs).
Fewer Republican voters?
South Florida is where the rich northern liberals go to die. Most of them bring their politics with them.
Add to those the fact that West pandered to the black vote by crying "Justice for Trayvon!" back in March.
Bobby, save a spot for me and mine in the Redoubt. We've got stuff you might like to see.
It’s what the left wants. Civil wars rarely end well. History has more Stalins than George Washingtons.
http://www.votescam.org/ vote fraud is firmly entrenched in south Florida.
The same counties that tried to steal the election from Bush. We MUST eliminate voter fraud and FL is the place to start.
Oh, good grief, no one is perfect and can please everyone. West is a great congressman.
I was a faithful reader of FR during the 2000 recount. There was an expert analysis by Freeper Robert Cook right her on FR. I believe the guy knew what he was doing. The info is available on the internet.
its why I don’t do the early voting or absentee (if I can help it). I don’t want anyone to know I am voting a head of time and when I get calls from the “other side” I tell them I am not interested in voting this year for the first time in my life because I don’t like the nominees. Then I go vote on Election day. It is harder for them to prepare ahead of time for overcoming my vote either by finding some idiots to vote or manipulating through fraud. I am changing to Independent because it does not result in any conservative winning in a republican primary. NC’s primary is way past any opportunity of my vote helping. It is always decided by then.
I, too, am done voting early—it’s too easy for Democrats to destroy my vote.
No real conservative would vote for those two things. NDAA and Obamacare are central to our problems today. You will make a good captive in the FIMA camp while you never see a lawyer.
So you prefer the RAT? That is your choice.
You put that very well. A real Conservative would NEVER have voted for the NDAA. It really is amazing that some of our fellow FReepers are not clued into just what the NDAA means for our Country or just what FEMA really was/is designed for.
The Effin weird thing about this election is that less Republicans voted for Mutt than McCain.

Allen West asking for large turnout at SOE. Please spread the word
Wanna know how you lose in life? Just don't show up. That's really all it takes and that's what happened in this election, costing us gains in both houses, the White House and losing in several state on issues important to us.

I the tables above you can see that while Republicans narrowed the Electoral College gap, the total number of votes cast were somehow 2,190,308 less than in 2008!
How exactly does that work/happen?! I mean, are you kidding me. Obama plays to sparse crowds and Mitt’s event aren’t just standing room only; they are, in fact, blowouts!
Why wouldn’t we think there would be less votes cast for Obama? What was he going to run on? Well, I guess we know the power of the drug he was selling because Hopium found more addicts.
That’s right, in 2008 a spell bound America had found their savior and 69.5 million (approx) votes were cast for Obama! In 2012I guess he wasn’t as popular as he once was because only 60.5 million votes were cast for “The One”.
How does a guy with an abysmal economic record, who didn’t focus on jobs, pursued many of Bush’s policies and screwed up plenty of his own internationally, how does he get re-elected?!
WITH 13% FEWER VOTES THAN HE GARNERED TO ASCEND TO THE WHITE HOUSE!!!???? REALLY? REALLY?
Come on! Republicans weren’t even close to being serious about voting for their country. 4% less votes were cast for Romney than were for McCain, arguably a worse candidate.
Obama is less popular and that’s a fact but, we can’t find enough votes to retire this guy? You have got to be joking me!
And please, don’t anyone give me some pap about which states were carried or needed to be carried, that’s a given. The friggin numbers don’t lie.
We did not show up and our performance was a “D+” effort. Theirs was an unremarkable “C+” and that’s all it took.
I couldn’t see any energy for Obama and was certain we would prevail. I saw more energy for Romney than McCain and that gave me even greater confidence.
But, here is the kicker because we didn’t show up we failed to:
Increase our share of the Senate. Hell, I don’t know how that is mathematically possible except that we didn’t show up. The Democrats now have a 54-45 majority if we count the two independents. That’s just plain stupid. We were suppose to increase our lead to at least 51 Republicans and if we got lucky as many as 57.
Fauxchahauntus is indeed a powerful spirit.
In the Congress we really should have picked up a super majority and I guess all we could muster was a gain of 1 seat.
This is the strangest election. It seemed like Republicans were really motivated and buoyed by our 2010 Tea Party success. If that sail didn’t lose its wind it must have been rent and torn into tiny little pieces.
Just awful.
I didn’t believe it until today but, maybe the Tea Party is dead
Don’t anyone bother me with the details of state by state. I’m researching that now. Bottom line, our friends who said they were invested in this election are frauds.

GREAT INFO AND SIMPLE FACTS ON THE ELECTION OF 2012. PEOPLE DIDN’T VOTE or.....they weren’t counted?
“Obama failed to win ANY states with photo ID laws for voters, but he did win all the swing states which require no voter ID. jus sayin
Alfred,
First and foremost, I want to thank you for all that you have done throughout the campaign. Your support has been truly incredible. I'm writing to give you an update on where things stand.
Our race is far from decided and there is no rush to declare an outcome. Ensuring a fair and accurate counting of all ballots is of the utmost importance. There are still thousands of absentee ballots to be counted in Palm Beach County and military and provisional ballots across the district. Given the numerous reports of irregularities at the polls and the chaos surrounding the counting of ballots, it is important that we carefully evaluate the results and investigate the irregularities.
I know how hard you have worked for our campaign and I am grateful to have you standing shoulder to shoulder with me. I want you to know that we will fight to ensure every ballot is counted just as we will continue to fight to ensure our Republic remains exceptional and the future of our children and grandchildren is bright. For 22 years I stood as a watchman on the wall to guard America’s honor, liberty, freedom, and democracy. Now I will continue my oath of service to guard the integrity of our electoral process.
Steadfast and Loyal,
Allen B. West
