Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus is echoing Rep. Allen West's (R-Fla.) call for a full recount of early ballots in his race, offering a rare show of support for a Republican lawmaker still locked in a yet-undecided race.
"The voters of Florida's 18th Congressional District deserve to have their ballots counted properly. Congressman Allen West has asked election officials in St. Lucie County to count all early voting ballots, and I strongly urge them to do so in order to erase any existing concerns about irregularities in the tabulation process," said Priebus in a statement.
St. Lucie County officials recounted only three days of early ballots, which they say were initially affected by a machine malfunction.
That recount caused a shift in the number of votes counted in the final tally, a result that prompted West's campaign to file a complaint in a county circuit court requesting an injunction to force St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker to recount all eight days of early ballots.
Florida secretary of state, Ken Detzner, announced Tuesday that he would send three auditors to St. Lucie County to investigate voter tabulation and machines that led to skewed results.
West remains .58 percentage points behind Murphy in the most recent tally of votes, just short of the .5 percentage point threshold required to trigger an automatic recount.
Murphy declared victory this past weekend, and is currently attending orientation activities with new members of Congress. West is also on the Hill for the lame-duck session of Congress.
But result of the race will not be officially certified until Friday.
Priebus' engagement in the race reflects the national attention it has been given. It's one of five House races nationwide that have not yet been called, but Priebus has not yet weighed in on the other four.
But the RNC chairman said in his statement that the recount is "not about any one candidate," but rather about "preserving and proecting the integrity of our democratic system."
"Regardless of the outcome, voters have the right to know
There should have been real election night and week fights going on across the country. Rep. Allen West was the only worthy man to step up.
It is about time the RNC came on board. They should have been by his side from the beginning, but it is better now than never.
How about a recount of ALL the votes?
If everything was done correctly, then there should be nothing to fear.
The more peeps resist a recount, the more they show they stole this election.
Just like was done all over the country in massive amounts.
This should be the #1 story everywhere.
Allen West - stand your ground!
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Elections officials have discovered some discrepancies during today’s continuing recount of the Fort Pierce mayoral race, but apparently not enough to make a difference yet.
A five-vote difference was found at Precinct 7, which is the Havert L. Fenn Center, and a three-vote difference was found at Precinct 6, which is at the Orange Blossom Business Center, according to Canvassing Board member Tod Mowery, a St. Lucie county commissioner.

More discrepancies, AND MORE AMMO FOR COL. WEST!!!
Wonder who is overlooking the count? West is back in a lame duck session.
desperate appeals to conservatives by this Prince Rebus guy...
lolz
The GOP should try appealing to conservatives during campaigns.
MAJOR BUMP!!
Reince simply got worried that some conservative might run for his job.
Please. Conservatives were the Keystone Cops in the primary. Four years to fall behind one nominee to battle Romney who was sure to run again and look what happened.
Romney ran a good campaign on traditional Americanism. It's people like you who sat on the sidelines and let Obama win.

With the (big) exception of MO senate race, Reince did a very good job.
I don’t think the GOP messaging has been very strong, and that MO race was just a mess.

No, but America has been an increasingly tough audience for it. We have foundational problems in education K through College.
No appreciation for the American Experiment, our uniqueness or for the free enterprise system. We start out far behind in the debate.
