West asks court to order full recount of early votes in St. Lucie County

by George Bennett | November 13th, 2012

Republican Rep. Allen West‘s campaign says it filed a request for an injunction late today ordering St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker to conduct a recount of all 37,397 ballots from early voting rather than the 16,275 ballots the county canvassing board decided to recount Sunday.

A copy of the filing wasn’t immediately available.

A partial recount of early votes on Sunday showed Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy losing 667 votes and West losing 132 — a net gain of 535 votes for West that reduced Murphy’s small lead in the congressional District 18 race.

“It stands to reason that if the remaining early votes were to be recounted, additional errors would be uncovered and the tabulation of votes revised accordingly,” a statement from West’s campaign said. “Until these remaining early ballots are recounted, however, the Canvassing Board has arbitrarily applied differing counting standards to similarly situated ballots. The erroneous decision of St. Lucie County to ‘re-feed’ only some of the early votes cast in this election violates the Florida Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection to voters.”

Earlier in the day, Secretary of State Ken Detzner ordered three representatives to St. Lucie County to observe and report on the elections process there. St. Lucie, Martin and northern Palm Beach counties make up District 18.

[dalebert]

and who will protect the recount????

[Venturer]

Something is crooked or they would have just counted them all,instead of having this mess.

[manc]

isn;t it stunning to see this election so rigged by the left and how they fought tooth and nail to have laws enforced or passed and yet the GOP does not even back a veteran up, a man who has done more for this countr than most in the GOP or the Dems.

We have seen first hand around this country how these results did not add up, we have seen first hand how West has seen how republican votes were not counted and still the GOP and Romney’s lot does and did nothing

[Blood of Tyrants]

So the Rats are back to their old tricks of only counting SOME of the votes.

[manc]

I;d not just count them as it will have illegals and those who used fraud or voted twice or evenm ore times have their count conted.
No I’d also demand that the voters who voted be crossed off with the regutrationrols but then again we know FL and other states did not even go for obama and we know the GOP will do nothing.

[Christie at the beach]

That county should be highlighted on all national radio talk shows.

That is the essence of what a fraudulent local government looks like. I hope that West continues to fight this since it's clear he is not getting fair treatment. This is that area where Obama hugged that weight lifter-It is a democratic operative land. Imo-Why Obama came there, to thank his operatives-in place and stir up the welfare recipients.

[what's up]

There are many theories of why Romney lost the election.

My personal theory is early voting fraud. When the States starting allowing early voting there was massive opportunity for cheating.

I'm glad West is now going after the early voting process. Hopefully this investigation will spread to other swing states.

[onyx]

PING NEEDED.

Gertrude Walker IS A CROOK!

[presently no screen name]

still the GOP and Romney’s lot does and did nothing

And many talk about how McCain gave the election away - this one is on a silver Judas platter.

[machogirl]

Ms. Walker was quoted as saying “Tallahassee” ordered her to only count three days. Tallahassee (State Elections) said that’s not true. They were under they impression Ms. Walker (St. Lucie) was going to count ALL early ballots.

Ms. Walker tries to throw the State under the bus and the State says no.

This very well payed St. Lucie Elections director needs to go.

[skeeter]

How long before the media begins pressuring West to drop his challenge ‘for the good of his district’?

[Vendome]

[Gene Eric]

Only sleazy Democrats have the right for endless recounts...

[mgist]

This is exactly what happened in Venezuela. Once he got there, he never left. He was never that popular but the army of media slime, and union thugs supporting Chavez and silencing opposition, along with the extraordinary election results, make the world think he is truly a populist. Hand outs galore. The same goes for Kirshner.

Once all the limosene liberals start losing money, Obama is doomed.

[presently no screen name]

That’s his district. He’d eat them alive and spit out the pits for such a demography comment.

EXACTLY! I am DONE with the GOP!!!!

[chris37]

Well, let’s see. On election day it took about 24 hours or less to count them all.

So what’s the problem with counting them again.

How much do I wanna bet that the request for this extremely difficult, tedious, journey of a billion miles task is denied...

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

“regutrationrols”

Man! You lost me there! That’s one heck of a typo! And I’m no stranger to typos! 8^)

[smoothsailing]

This looks like the complete West campaign news release...

.............................................

Media Release:

Congressman Allen West, along with eight other named plaintiffs who were early voters in St. Lucie County in Florida, filed a complaint today in Circuit Court in St. Lucie County. The complaint asks the Court to immediately issue a preliminary injunction ordering Defendant Gertrude Walker, as St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, and Defendant Dan Detzner, as Florida Secretary of State, to convene the St. Lucie County Canvassing Board for the purpose of counting all votes cast in the election for the 18th Congressional District during the early voting period, and ordering Defendants to refrain from certifying results of the election for the 18th Congressional District until all ballots cast during the early voting period have been counted.

The St. Lucie County Canvassing Board met on Sunday, November 11, 2012 for the stated purpose of recounting “all ballots cast during early voting.” This “refeed” was not conducted pursuant to Florida’s automatic recount statute, but rather as part of the canvassing process. The Canvassing Board, however, re-fed only ballots cast on three days during the early voting period. This limited, partial re-feed – not conducted pursuant to any statute – uncovered significant errors in the initial tabulation of votes. Nearly 1,000 votes disappeared from the count, and neither the Canvassing Board nor the Supervisor provided any explanation for this selective recount. Despite publicly announcing a hearing for the purposes of re-feeding all early votes, counsel for the Canvassing Board advised publicly that “Tallahassee” recommended counting only those specific three days – all without providing information as to who advised a selective re-feed or the basis for doing so.

It stands to reason that if the remaining early votes were to be recounted, additional errors would be uncovered and the tabulation of votes revised accordingly. Until these remaining early ballots are recounted, however, the Canvassing Board has arbitrarily applied differing counting standards to similarly situated ballots. The erroneous decision of St. Lucie County to “re-feed” only some of the early votes cast in this election violates the Florida Constitution’s guarantee of equal protection to voters.

In addition, the County has violated both the Florida Open Meeting Law, Florida Sunshine Law and the Florida Constitution by meeting behind closed doors and without providing the required notice to the public.

These elections are NOT certified yet. The only way to get this investigated, much less recounted or overturned, is through the Secretary of State of each of the five key states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it won’t do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states. Until a major group gets involved to do more, here is the plan: Contact the Secretary of State of the state in question. See contact information below...

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — While state elections officials said Tuesday they had expected a full recount of all the county’s early votes, county Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker said in a press release that state officials told her only the last three days of affected early votes could be retabulated.

“While I desired to do a total retabulation of all early voting ballots and noticed it as such, after consulting with the Division of Elections, I was advised that only the affected ballots could be retabulated,” she wrote.

Walker has scheduled a press conference at 4:30 p.m.

On Election Day, the elections office had problems uploading electronic memory cards with voting results from Nov. 1-3, after old cards were replaced with new cards so as not to overload them.

The Division of Elections spoke to Walker about the issue Saturday and was under the impression the county’s canvassing board would recount all 37,379 ballots cast during all eight days of early voting — not just the three days the Canvassing Board decided to recount on Sunday, according to Department of State spokesman Chris Cate.

The state will send three employees to the St. Lucie office Wednesday to determine how 799 votes disappeared in Sunday’s partial recount of the close, nationally watched congressional race between U.S. Rep. Allen West and Democrat Patrick Murphy.

HUH?

Who IS the “GOP” other than those who register as Republicans?

What do you EXPECT a Party made up of volunteers to do, exactly?

What do you expect to accomplish as a “lone ranger”?

Yep, and the liberal Palm Beach and Miami media are playing right along with the Demonrats.

Makes me sick.

[mark3681]

My personal theory is early voting fraud. ...

I voted early in Indiana. The ballots are not put into a machine for auto counting. They are put through a slot in a cardboard box.

How do I know my vote was actually counted???
Is there any way to find out?

[Lumper20]

What is proof of how rotten Florida’s system is after Holder and pals kept it the old way is folks who have not registered since 2003, and; they received notices in other states. So, Florida lets these clowns vote from another state. Yes, they have snow bird types who own northern plus Florida property. That does not give them the right to vote twice.

[Windflier]

...typo’s...

Death to all misplaced apostrophes!!!

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

Oh! Man! No need to say “Sorry!” Sometimes typos are funny,,,, and that one was!
Bogie

[Uncle Chip]

This is just sloppy vote fraud. How do you do a recount and wind up with 799 fewer votes. The poll workers are supposed to be filling in those ovals not erasing them. They are supposed to be finding more ballots not losing then.

[Ray76]

They certainly are. The TV news anchor characterized the crowd as “rowdy” then handed it off to the on-site reporter.

The crowd was well behaved and orderly.

If that crowd is “rowdy” then this guy is afraid of his own shadow. He probably sleeps with a teddy bear.

[what's up]

The big problem is all the extra time before election day the Rats have to go into nursing homes, skid row, prisons etc. and manipulate hordes of people to vote. Not to mention invent false bios of hordes who don't exist.

Sure Repubs could do it too but the generally don't like those sleazy tactics of forcing the unaware to vote when they wouldn't under normal circumstances.

[what's up]

Who IS the “GOP” other than those who register as Republicans? What do you EXPECT a Party made up of volunteers to do, exactly?

We have a lot of crybabies who want to always blame someone else.

[machogirl]

One has to have ID to get medical care. I don’t understand the “lack” of ID argument. (exception: those in probate and long-term care, but heck, even in the care centers they are supposed to know who you are to get in, get medicine, get treated)

[Behind the Blue Wall]

“Once all the limosene liberals start losing money, Obama is doomed.”

No, once the limousine liberals start losing money, they will realize how badly THEY are doomed. Obama won’t need their votes or money. The Chicago machine will be in place on a national scale, and by hook or by crook, he will always “have the votes”.

[Obama_Is_Sabotaging_America]

Counting fraudulent votes is pointless. And the destroyed ballots for Romney won’t be there. A sudden appearance of 4,000 votes for the opponent in the middle of the night requires a criminal investigation; ORDER LIE DETECTOR TESTS FOR ALL POLLING PLACE PARTICIPANTS. Was a U.N. ‘poll monitor’ there? TEST HIM/HER TOO. There’s some AlFrankenation going on here!

[pollywog]

I’m talking about the RINOS and those in the RNC that need to be behind ALLEN WEST right now. Sarah Palin is behind him, the TEA PARTY is there... the RINOS and the RNC? Not! Where is Karl Rove when he is needed?

[dalebert]

we at least need to expose theim..i hope he takes to court.

[machogirl]

Just watched a news report that Ms. Walker’s data readers were “blank”. They never had info on them, ‘she took out the ballots and started stuffing them into ballot readers, 26K ballots so she could have some results’.

Good grief. They never tested their stuff? so, they just ‘didn’t have trouble with uploading the discs, they were BLANK’.

Somebody’s gotten lazy as Stupidvisor of Elections.

[turn_to]

I think the GOP is trying to get rid of West because he is perceived to be looney by non-conservatives.

They’d rather have someone who gives more of an impression of being stable to appeal to the moderates.

[smoothsailing]

Blank discs? What in the world.

Ole Gertie got some ‘splainin’ to do.

[littleharbour]

The GOP hates West because he’s an uppity black man who doesn’t know his place. He would be in Boehner’s worst nightmare. No way West meekly accepts a dictate from Boehner to roll over on the tax and spending issues. I just wish Michelle Bachman would speak up and make it clear that she won’t back any Boehner deal with Obama.
