Video: Angry crowd reacts to ‘misleading recount’ in Allen West race

Allen West supporters expressed shock in Fort Pierce on Sunday, but not because the finally tally in St. Lucie County’s Congressional District 18 race showed West gaining 201 more votes — but because it was only based on a “cherry picked” partial recount and the supervisor refused to explain why.

Despite the persistent questions over fairness and accuracy, county attorneys, the county canvassing board and Elections Supervisor Gertrude Walker refused to answer questions from the campaigns or the press throughout the entire exercise. When the machine count was finished, elections officials announced the total and immediately had a sheriff’s deputy instruct everyone to leave...

Thank you for the history lesson! Think of how many places this scene needs to be repeated in present-day America.

Actually NZ is better, but they are very hard nosed about who can come there. In OZ you can live off the grid for a long time. There isn’t enough law enforcement to come hunting after you should you over stay your visa. Gotta remember the whole country is almost as big as the USA but has the population of LA.

Oz has its quirks, its dangers but the most thrilling part of it is the vast emptiness wanting to be filled. I spent my life traveling across America, been there done that, Alaska has been my home for the last 20 years, its actully quite safe from Obama but I’m getting out while I can before I have to flee to Canada and then having to use a Canadian passport to enter OZ.

If they had a problem with the cards from the early voting days of Nov. 1 - 2 - 3, then they need to recount them. Here’s a bit of info from another thread.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2958348/posts?

snip

Today West for Congress released the following statement in response to today’s questionable conduct by St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker and the St. Lucie County Canvassing Board:

“We are after the truth of what votes were cast by voters in St. Lucie County, and the conduct of the canvassing board today casts doubt on their reported numbers.

The St. Lucie Canvassing Board’s abrupt action today was reached entirely without explanation or justification. The Campaign was informed on Saturday afternoon, while the Board met in an apparently private and unannounced session, that a decision was reached to recount all ballots cast during early voting.

There was absolutely no explanation of what events or evidence before the Board triggered this voluntary recount. The Supervisor’s website still includes its last-minute public notice of a full recount of early votes:

That is not what happened today. Again without any warning or notice, the Board announced this morning that it would count only the early votes cast on Nov. 1, 2, and 3. The explanation given at this point was that the four data cards in use on those three days of early voting did not upload properly on Election Night.

However, the Supervisor and the Board said on Election Night and at Thursday’s canvassing board meeting that the four “compromised” data cards were actually taken from vote counting machines in use during the first three days of early voting. By the close of today’s meeting, the Board again changed its position to explain that the decision to recount only early vote ballots cast on Nov. 1, 2, and 3 was at the direction of “Tallahassee.”

Bumping the thread so all can see.

This election was stolen in front of our faces and the powers that be are banking on us shrugging our shoulders and moving on.

Those on FRepublic who still believe this election was lost because of low voter turn-out by conservatives should get their heads up out of the sand.

Well-stated, FRiend. I'm waiting for a commander to step up. Henry Bowman had the right idea.

It’s not who votes that counts. It’s who counts the votes.

They will hopefully take action in other states and precincts if this gets into the courts. But there isn’t a role for Romney at this point. So many people voted, we’ll never know-or be able to prove-the extent of the Fraud that was foisted upon us.
