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.

Obviously a Dem.
I agree. We need to see that election supervisor behind bars. If they found 300 ballots in her office, we have to wonder what other shenanigans were going on.
That is the first I have heard of that ‘deal’. How/where did you find that?

Read and printed. This is a lot to handle!
“The article is inaccurate. The Consent Agreement between the RNC and the DNC is that neither can Monitor Poll stations MEANING they cannot send/be poll watchers. The Candidates Campaign or a 3rd Party CAN send poll watchers.
I spoke with the GOP Legal Department on this item specifically so PLEASE call them yourselves (the legal department) AND clean up the propaganda as we do NOT want to be like the Left. REMEMBER we are the party of FACTS.”

& think I read earlier that old Gertie Walker was not even there today! supposedly she was admitted to the hospital for tests..no joke.
Wonder if liberalism is covered by Obamacare?
Probably since its a pre-existing condition.
There’s no cure for what she’s got.
Can we PLEASE go back to voting on one day now?
That was mereporting what I'd heard on Miami talk radio five hours earlier.
The ones I’ve called at least listened (but how can I prove that. LOL). The most patient ones are the answering machines. When they aren’t full, that is.
If they manufactured votes it won’t matter how many times you count them.
This election was NOT like a cartoon...
IT WAS(and is) A CARTOON...
I live in saint Lucie County, Florida.
I voted for Colonel Allen West and have ZERO confidence my vote was counted correctly.
Great job there Gertrude Walker a black, liberal democrat who runs the county elections board
Its refreshing to see a Republican who fights instead of rolling over into a fetal position.

Good news. Now IF Colonel West regains his lead, watch the RATS demand a full recount.
