"way outside the margin"? Really?
The difference in the mayor's race is .044%. The West/Murphy race difference is .058%.
Sharpton is racist partisan hack and a buffoon.
What a bunch of parasitical sycophants.
A recount in the mayoral race was going to be done anyway. They didn't have to call for diddly squat. They are out to take credit for something that was going to happen anyway. We can fully expect the Rev to take credit for the sunrise tomorrow as well.
They are there to try to keep West from getting a recount.
The difference in the mayor’s race is .044%. The West/Murphy race difference is .058%.
The Fl Statute requriement is .05% for a mandatory recount. If they can get West just a few more votes then it will become mandatory via Statute.
They finished the precincts 1 to 40 in Ft. Pierce Proper but are recounting precincts 41 74 to 94 now although they aren’t Ft. Pierce city precincts. This is because the early voters could drop off ballots anywhere in the county. So they are having to run these precincts to see if there were any Mayoral votes dropped off in them.
From a recent news article:
Canvassing board member and Chief Deputy Court Administrator Marc Traum says two precincts had discrepancies, compared to the initial count. Traum said one precinct had a five-vote discrepancy. He didn’t know the other.

What a mess they have there.
