FORT PIERCE — Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West wants courts to order elections officials to impound ballots and voting machines in preparation for a recount following his narrow loss to Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy.
Motions for injunctions were filed in St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties. Information wasn’t immediately available from Martin County, the third county in congressional District 18.
West trails Murphy by 2,456 votes or 0.78 percent. That’s not close enough to trigger a state law that requires a recount for races decided by 0.5 percent or less. But West claims irregularities in the way St. Lucie County counted its early ballots.

Can you re count votes cast on an e machine?
Go Alan. Recount hell, have your IT people go through the machines with a fine tooth comb to figure out how the thing was thrown.
Happy to read this. A man among boys.
There should be plenty of evidence on that hard drive.
Lord, I wish we had more fighters representing us.
If an e machine claims that only 200 people voted for romney on it, and if one can find, let’s say for example about 600 people who claim that they voted for romney on that same machine....there you go.
No cries of ‘racism’ from the leftists in defense of Allen West? Black and conservative is the new ‘ni66er’ in the DUnited Cities of Amerikkka.
Hope he finds the beginning of a looooong trail.
he’s Bachmann’s southern bookend.
Ugh, I read some of the posts at that site. What horrible people! Most of them libs, of course.
There are sign in sheets. Can count voters there. It’s extremely difficult to challenge election results and the clock is ticking. Usually the challenger looks like sour grapes sore lose and hurts their future careers.
Unless West has some insider info or feels he has a high high probabilty of success he should concede and run in two years. He’d be a popular speaker.
Yes, this isn’t the rah rah speech. But I’ve been through this dance a few times. Telling you how it plays out.
No one’s calling them racists either, I’ll bet.
if he needs money to challenge, let us know....we’re behind you Colonel.....
The comments at the link are stunning,,,,,,.....!
This is the only Republican putting up a fight!
If the FBI had sprinkled fake names in important swing districts - AND records showed those nonexistent people had voted, we'd have them. Since the FBI didn't bother - random names in black precincts ( yes, that's where fraud traditionally takes place) could be pulled to see if those people actually voted.
It's why 'the dead' vote. It's NOT that dems want to vote the dead, it's that dead people don't show up to vote and get pulled into the fraud accidentally.
