ST. LUCIE COUNTY CANVASSING BOARD ORDERS RETABULATION OF ALL EARLY VOTES IN ALLEN WEST RACE

Jason Howerton

The St. Lucie County Canvassing Board has ordered the retabulation of all early votes in the highly contested congressional race between Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) and Democrat Patrick Murphy, according to Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, a volunteer lawyer for the West campaign. The board voted 2-1 in favor of recounting the votes.

“This retabulation of all early votes as the Supervisor of Elections originally planned is a victory for democracy,” Shapiro told TheBlaze. “This restores some level of trust and public confidence in the system… it was the right thing to do.”

Election officials will begin retabulating the roughly 20,000 additional early votes at 9 a.m. on Saturday, he said.

West needs to gain just 249 votes in those 20,000 ballots to trigger a statutory recount under state law, Shapiro told TheBlaze. West gained 535 votes in the initial recount of 16,275 ballots. Both candidates combined lost 800 votes, however, 80 percent of the decrease was owned by Murphy.

I heard this morning that the “board” has now said that it’s past the date .. however, doesn’t that mean PAST THE DATE TO FILE FOR A RECOUNT - which has nothing to do with a recount which is already in progress.

This is so ugly .. I cannot believe the democrats have become so corrupt they will destroy the American Election process. But .. since they were and are willing to elect presidents who lie and lie and lie .. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.

Living in San Diego and seeing what the REPUBS HAVE NOT DONE IN OUR STATE .. is making me physically ill. I now have a dem state rep (who’s a former social worker from Massachusetts), a dem gov, 2 dem senators, and a dem president .. I have NO REPRESENTATION AT ALL.

Indeed, every discovery we make enhances our understanding how democrats carry out voter fraud from the practical level. Perhaps maybe how to help prevent a little more of it.

One thing that does however need to be done everywhere is Republicans need to call every person on record for voting to verify that they actually did cast a vote. (Rather than someone else voting in their name)

The other counties had smarter people doing their report, who knew to divide total cards by number of cards per ballot to arrive at the percentage.
