PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. — St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker said she won't back down if state officials get involved in the still-undeclared race between Allen West and Patrick Murphy, but she might have other visitors now.

I agree with you. The article makes statements and attributes them to her, but doesn’t quote her saying it.

Um. Wrong thread?
Good call. Sorry to post that there.
No one knows which side Al will be on and he may not know either.
The people outside the election office protesting the supervisor’s actions are West supporters.
Al, Whichever side you’re on, “STFU”
You don’t think he’d be on West’s side do you?
Geez, hadn’t given that any consideration.
