ALLEN WEST SEES GAIN IN VOTES IN ONE FLA. COUNTY — INCHES CLOSER TO AUTOMATIC ELECTION-WIDE RECOUNT

ALLEN WEST SEES GAIN IN VOTES IN ONE FLA. COUNTY — INCHES CLOSER TO AUTOMATIC ELECTION-WIDE RECOUNT

Charles C. Johnson

Mainstream media reports notwithstanding, the Allen West-Patrick Murphy race is far from over, according to a volunteer lawyer with the campaign. Voting irregularities abound in what has shaped up to be one of the most hotly contested congressional races of the 2012 campaign.

On Sunday, the West campaign saw a net gain of 535 votes for Congressman West in a re-feed of early ballots in St. Lucie County, roughly 43.5% of the total ballots cast in the conservative Florida county.

“That’s only two votes shy of the number of votes that President George W. Bush won the American presidency with in 2000,” said Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, a volunteer lawyer for the West campaign. Over 800 votes went “missing” in Sunday’s count and of those 800, eighty percent of them had previously gone to West’s challenger, Patrick Murphy. The West campaign likes those odds.

On Saturday, Florida had released an unofficial result showing Murphy with a lead of 2,442 votes, or 50.4 percent—a narrow lead which makes his count just beyond the half-percent margin mandated for an automatic recount.

“We only need another 249 votes to trigger a statutory recount of the total of hundreds of thousands of votes cast in this race,” Shapiro explained. “For the media to suggest Allen West has already lost this race is not only irresponsible, it’s untrue. The media needs to stop projecting what it wants to happen and start reporting the facts of what is actually happening.”

“I wouldn’t be surprised if a statutory recount shifted the final numbers,” he added. “We only recounted the early vote portion for three days in one county today, which was about five percent of the total votes cast in this race. The numbers shifted in the hundreds when we’re only about 1,800 votes behind to win. More important than victory however, is democracy. Everyone deserves to have their voice heard and their vote counted. Something is fundamentally flawed with the media when it creates the impression that recounting the votes is unnecessary.”

Shapiro doubts that the canvassing board in St. Lucie County is doing its due diligence.

“The Canvassing Board in St. Lucie County misled the public,” he said. “They said they would recount all 37,379 early votes, but instead they only recounted 16,275 early votes from November 1, 2 and 3rd. Still, out of the 43.5 percent of early votes they recounted we picked up a net gain 535 votes. If they recounted the remaining 56.5 percent, there’s very little question we’d pick up the 249 we need to trigger a statutory recount.”

“I never experienced the kind of obstructionist tactics and hostility when I was serving on John Kerry’s presidential election team in 2004,” Shapiro added. “I was impressed with the system despite its flaws, but I’m starting to realize that there’s a big difference when you’re a member of the same party as the supervisor of elections than when you’re with the opposition. What I’ve seen these past few days has caused me to lose some faith and confident in the integrity of the democratic process.”

The race was the country’s most expensive House contest, with over $21 million raised. West is among the most prolific fundraisers in Congress.

Where’s Holder’s DOJ Voting Rights unit? This is a minority being screwed in a “Southern” state. Where’s the “outrage” of the self-professed “objective’ MSM?

Kudos to everyone involved in this recount, including my lovely wife, Mrs. dinodino, whom went down to attempt to prevent any foul play. Enduring thanks to those of you whom do not feel we should run our elections like a Third-World state.

There wasn’t 140% turnout; there was 70% turnout, and each voter got two ballots (only one of which had any particular race).

Congressman West should keep fighting so that every vote is counted correctly and any illegal votes are thrown out, and hopefully at the end of the day he will be reelected, but we gain nothing by repeating the canard that turnout was 140%.

In 2000-2001 two different news media consortiums paid to recount a few of the more controversial South Florida counties. The hope was to overturn the Bush election. That didn't happen so their findings never went on Page 1. But anyone with enough money could buy recounts. It wouldn't have to be the whole country or even an entire state. It would come down to key counties in the swing states’

If West can somehow overturn the results in his district the next step would be to look at suspect counties in Florida that have a history of irregularities. If the Florida vote could be proved bogus that might prompt Congress to force recounts in the swing states. But that's a lot of “ifs.”

As far as I know, Congressman West is continuing with his lawsuit. The race has not been certified as yet.

http://www.bizpacreview.com/video-angry-crowd-reacts-to-results-of-misleading-recount-in-allen-west-race/

From Allen West:
God bless and thanks to all of you here in the Treasure Coast and across America who have joined with us in the fight to protect and preserve the American democratic electoral process. Your efforts and voices are being heard and you have all become guardians of America’s honor. A special hat tip and a hearty steadfast and loyal. I will not let you down.
********

I am happy to see that Congressman West is going to make sure that all the ballots are re-counted! Fair and honest elections is what EVERY honest American wants! Until we can trust the election process there will always be divisions. Many results across the country are not proving to be accurate according to the “Numbers”! Numbers of sign-in signatures vs number of ballots cast. When the numbers don’t add up, we know there is ELECTION FRAUD!
******

AND NOW THIS HAPPENING TONIGHT:
From Fred Perry:

Friends:

I will be standing vigil tonight, beginning at dusk; at the Office of the Supervisor of Elections, St. Lucie County Florida.

I invite you to stand with me.

We will stand on the wall of liberty, tonight and all week if necessary, to ensure that the rights and freedoms we have fought for, and that our sons are still fighting for, will stand.

This is NOT a partisan vigil. Liberty is NOT a partisan value. I invite veterans of all stripes to join me.

You are welcome to bring signs & banners, but no banners representing specific candidates will be tolerated.

Please forward this to all your veteran friends and their supporters in Florida or outside the state.

We are about to engage TYRANY.

The battle has been joined.

Best,
Fred Perry
Oath Keeper

We must act NOW.

Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.

We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....

We are FReepers. We must fight!

Those who shrug and accept this atrocity without a fight are not worthy to be called Freepers!

West is doing what not even Romney would do. That takes a lot of courage.

Please pray for Allen West. If you’d like to contribute to the recount fund,
checks must be made to Allen West for Congress - Recount and mailed to PO Box 1108, Stuart FL, 34995.

Thanks!

This is a microscopic look into a macroscopic fraud problem.

The hysterical reaction of the woman in charge of the count indicated to me this was about more than Allen West. If it can be proven that manipulation and fraud occurred here, it opens up the floodgates for a re-examination of results nationwide.

I’ve read that there are approx. 8,000 absentee military ballots that were cast in this race and they have yet to be counted.

If West can force an automatic recount he can prolong the process. That may buy the time he needs to get the military ballots included.

So I can see why the Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker wants to wrap this up before that happens. If she can somehow get Murphy declared the certified winner, those military ballots will never get counted.

A West victory at this point lies in those military ballots, IMO.
