The St. Lucie County canvassing board has missed a noon deadline to file election results to the Division of Elections, prompting campaign officials for Patrick Murphy to declare the political newcomer the winner in the race for congressional District 18 race.
Under Florida law, the final certified results were due from all of the state’s 67 supervisors of elections today. If the results do not arrive on time, the certified unofficial results submitted last Sunday stand. Those results have Murphy winning by 0.58 percent. A spread of less than 0.5 percent would have triggered an automatic recount.
“Today at noon, it became clear Patrick Murphy will be officially certified as the next congressman from the 18th Congressional District,” Anthony Kusich, Murphy for Congressman campaign manager, said in a prepared statement issued around 12:40 p.m. “The voters have spoken and Patrick Murphy is once again the clear winner. It is beyond time to put this campaign behind us and put the interests of the people of the Treasure Coast and Palm Beaches first.”

Tim Edson, Murphy’s campaign manager, disagreed.
“As usual, Murphy’s people are full of garbage,” Edson said. “This is something the secretary of state and governor will have to sort out.”
Edson said other problems arose this morning. The recount showed 900 voters cast ballots in precinct 93, where there are 7 registered voters, Edson said.
“We have concerns here,” Edson said. “The results are raising more questions.”
Shortly after the deadline passed, attorneys for West headed to the St. Lucie County Courthouse to request an emergency hearing on the issue. It is not known if a hearing has been scheduled.

Help put the pressure on Tea Party reps in congress to nominate Allen West as Speaker of the House.
*The speaker does not have to be an elected member of the house.
*The majority “can” control the vote for speaker, but that doesn’t mean the speaker is guaranteed to be a republican.
If the TP caucus would stick together on this they could force the RINOs to support West or chance giving the seat back to Pelosi.
* It’s time to stand up!
Now I know where the terms “Flori-DUH” and “The Stupid Party” comes from.
This is real simple, Boner says if Florida will not count the votes the members of the House will vote. End. Of. Story.
Secession
No wonder St. Lucie County agreed to the “full”vrecount of the early votes. They knew all along the deadline would come and go. The fix was in from the start.
And I agree.. America as we knew her is dead. Dead and dishonored.
How do 7 people get their own precinct?
That’s crazy to begin with.
Count the votes until the Democrat is ahead, then stop.
If the Republican is ahead when you have counted all the votes then find some more votes to count.
If the Republican is still ahead then recount the votes how ever many times it takes until the Democrat is ahead, then stop.
900 votes in a district that has 7 registered voters? For a US Representative job that pays $175,000 a year? I’d be willing to chip in some money to pay these grifters to not cheat. You have to be making more than $175k to cheat like this. The Democrats are just grifters. Con men out to steal from the public treasury. Read The Declaration Of Independence again.
Ya, no intentional slow roll here.....
Primary manager gets, sick, calls in back up, who then closes early.
...But, they really wanted to see the results....
For the first time in my life I am ashamed of America.
I am ashamed we let these communist take us over.
Pat Murphy. The “winner” wannabe.
If Hispanics continue to vote Democrat then in ten years Texas will look like Florida. In 20 years Texas will look like California. Where will we move then?
Why doesn’t he accuse Murphy of being racist?
We can’t trust the gov to count the votes correctly, and now they’re going to run out health care.
You need to log off for awhile, Jim. Take a 6 month vacation, you’ll feel better.
I knew it last night when they stopped for the night.
we have thrown our pearls to swine
time to get rid of the swine and get back to
what America really is
wait, the results arent certified so they declare victory? ridiculous
America still exists. It's just that we are now the Northern branch of South America.
Welcome to the third world.
At least now we can safely bribe our way out of traffic tickets.
UPDATE 1:47 P.M.: West going to court — Will contest certification – From “a source close to Allen West” provided to Legal Insurrection:
St Lucie missed the deadline for certification, so automatically the previous results are what go to the Secretary of State for final certification.
Our attorneys are seeing if it’s possible (today) to get an emergency extension of the deadline.
We have until Nov 30 (10 days) to contest the election in Talahassee, and then there would be a hearing scheduled in December.
Of course, the Secretary of State may decide to NOT certify the results because of the discrepancies -and we have yet to see the results of the auditor’s report which may recommend a retabulation.
Just as background, one precinct has 7 voters registered and yet recorded about 900 votes. That’s a 13,000 percent turnout.
Clearly, something is amiss.
