UPDATE: Final tally is in. Murphy wins

Posted by: Robin Cross/CBS12.com

UPDATE:

The official word came in about 2 O'clock Sunday afternoon that Patrick Murphy is the clear winner. Officials at the St Lucie County canvassing board counted more than 37-thousand early votes, write in candidates ballots and provisional ballots. The final total for all 8 days of early voting showed Allen West getting nearly 53 thousand votes and Patrick Murphy received nearly 66 thousand votes. In the recount, West gained 32 votes and Murphy gained 274 votes. Murphy's team team says this proves that he is the clear winner in the congressional race and that it is time for West to concede. West's team says they will go over the data from the recount to make sure that everything was done correctly. After that they will decide what their next step will be.

To: deport

I am willing to bet that Murphy won by a landslide in each of the precincts in which there were more votes than there were registered voters.
