The race for Florida’s 18th Congressional district has taken an ugly turn, with charges of incompetence, illegal activity and possible fraud on the part of local election officials. Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy has declared victory with an apparent 160,328 votes to West's 157,872. However, serious questions arose immediately about the integrity of the vote count, especially in St. Lucie County. On election night incumbent Republican Allen West had maintained a district-wide lead of nearly 2000 votes until the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections inexplicably “recounted” thousands of early ballots, resulting in 4,400 vote shift

A physical barrier had been erected making it impossible for the observers to see what was going on. After repeated objections, the observers were allowed to stand behind the people reproducing the ballots. But then the ballot workers blocked their view. “Half of the people reproducing the ballots are crowding together,” Mr. Shapiro said, “to make it impossible for anyone to see what they are doing.” He added that “there is a sense that since they spend so much time obstructing our view they are not reproducing [the ballots] correctly.”
An elderly man who stood up to try to get a better look at the ballots was ordered to sit down. When he asked why, Elections Supervisor Susan Bucher called a sheriff’s deputy to have him escorted out of the building. Team West volunteer Ellen Snyder has also faced the wrath of the supervisory staff. “They screamed at me twice”

“I've never experienced anything like it,” Mr. Shapiro said. He is a former Democrat and had worked on John Kerry’s 2004 campaign legal team. He noted that he was treated much better by Democratic supervisors when he was a fellow party member. But now he is being treated like an enemy.

did not counting military ballots happen all over the usa?
It’s fraud alright. I am glad West is standing up. We should all stand up against this fraud and the elections of 2012. Just talking about it is not good enough. We need to follow West stand and do something about it.
Do not allow Obama to take his second term. Arrest him and charge him with fraud; then treason.
I didnt hear much about RNC standing up for voters or questioning much..I did hear about all the lawyers the Dems hired
I think it was a guy named Joe Stalin who said, “it doesn't matter who votes, what matters is who counts the votes.”
I suspect many elections are stolen. It is tyranny at its worst and if the courts wind up condoning it . . .
Yeah, just rollover . .that’s the attitude
Good grief
To #3: Steely Tom.
Re Mr. Shapiro saying that “But now he is being treated like an enemy.”
If you seek the TRUTH or speak the TRUTH, YOU ARE THE ENEMY TO THE DEMOCRATS.
MARX, LENIN AND ALINSKY WON THE ELECTION. OBAMA, JARRETT AND AXELROD WERE THEIR TOOLS. THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, IN PART, WERE THEIR STOOGES.
The fight of Col. West goes way beyond a local voter fraud issue. It epitomizes the battle for the soul of the American people/society/way of life.
The LIGHTSIDE VERSUS THE DARKSIDE, AND THE DARKSIDE IS WINNING.
“I have suspected that this election was stolen,”
As was Mia Love’s.
TO #18: Red Steel. In the Coleman versus Franken vote tampering, the Secy of State of Minnesota, Mark Ritchie, has been documented as having direct ties to the Communist Party of Minneapolis/Minn. Go to www.keywiki.com, Search for his name, “Mark Ritchie”, and you will found the proof.
That is why Soros and company tried to finance the “Secretary Project” to help leftist candidates win the position of Secretary of State in Wisconsin and many other states.
When you hear that Soros in financing a project, color it COMMUNIST.
I thought on election night after the results that blacks had theirracst attitude and got obama over the edge.
Then after looking at races and results ans seeing 110% voting for counties and all going to obama ten something was up.
I looked more and mroe and talked to others and they also saw something wrong and said these results do not add up.
This election should be investigated , the votes in WI,OH, FL,NV, IO,VA all have to be looked at.
Obama likes spending money then spend money on this because I know he did nto win.
Now here is something else.
The media always do a county by conty report after the election.
Anyone noticed how they have not now.?
This race was stolen and rigged, they had 4 years of prepping for this and I;m in FL and there is no way the middle part of the state went obama.
He got less than 5000 at a rally just before the election and yet he won that area!!! NO CHANCE he did
the media is in lockdown, they are not saying much, the GOP havejust rolled over again for this election even with many results not adding up and only one guy has BALLS AND THAT IS COL ALLEN WEST
AGREED, this crap has to stop.
Republican votes were not counted in many area, counties in Dem areas were reporting 110% and every vote went to obama.
WI.,,FL,VA,NM,OH all have to be looked at
People are dying for this country and her system and yet we have people o our side which are not saying anything about this widespread corruption.
They don;t want to piss off th emedia and be called a name
well screw that there are a few of us who understand that poeple gave their lives for this country and we can certainly stand up against this corruption
The rolling over has already been done. Time to celebrate what we elected.
Romney should have the balls to announce the election was stolen...there is evidence everywhere
where on earth is my conservative Gov and AG .
We have a republican house and senate, we have more of a conservative state court though we could have booted the 3 liberaljudges out but the state did not
STOP THIS CRAP and do a recount and an investigation, not just here but also places where reslts do not add up, WI, VA,OH, and Mia Loves race in UT
I;m sick of the GOP always just moving on and never mentioning any of this and that includes the lieks of Hannity who can;t even mention social issues
Apparently, the rest of America doesn’t agree with you. Let the Democrats and the Republicans who sat out the vote have what they deserve.
my views too
Romney and his lot need to look at this and ask some questions, demand why results are not adding up, to hell with the media, they never have liked us and never will, we will be caleld names and so what.
People have given teir lives for our system and country, they are still out there and can;t evenvote some of them but they risk their lives
and yet we have some even on here who want to ignore all of this in WI,FL,VA,OH and move on.
Col Allen West you and Sarah are the only people who have had balls to fight the left , oh and Michelle Bachmann and Angel in NV
He is a good man, and Washington isn’t the place for good men now.
This reminds me of the genesis of NASCAR into the 1970’s and 80’s. Everyone knew there was massive cheating going on but there was no will, nor infrastructure in place to enforce and detect the cheating.
We’ll find out that a nation-wide vote fraud system has been in place for decades and we’ve all been had.
