St. Lucie’s elections mishaps came to light in the razor-thin U.S. House District 18 contest that prompted a prolonged recount and at least two lawsuits. U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy, a Democrat who was sworn in on Thursday, defeated tea party icon Allen West, who filed two lawsuits against Walker seeking a manual recount of nearly 38,000 early votes. Murphy was ultimately declared the winner by a slim margin of less than 1,800 votes.

There is no way that the results of the election that resulted in the alleged defeat of Alan West can be verified if this report is accurate.

Susan Bucher, supervisor of elections for Palm Beach County is portrayed as either a bumbling incompetent or deliberately sabotaging the reelection of Congressman Alan West. This is a disgrace.

Listeners of Rush Limbaugh already are well aware of the antics of people from Port St. Lucie.

What became of St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker? Did she ever recover from Hillary Clinton Syndrome?

Wow! What a mess. No telling who REALLY won this election. Rep. West was robbed. This is shameful.

I have to admit that I'm not a Florida resident, but a first-time snowbird from PA enjoying global warming on the beach not far from the Rush Limbaugh mega estate.

I don't know the Walker details, but she is portrayed prominently and very negatively in this article.

Why is she still employed? One job to do and once a year. Still has no clue. Fire the incompetent. Give them an Obama phone as a parting gift.

Here in St. Lucie county the supervisor of elections is an old black liberal woman Gertrude Walker.
I have absolutely NO confidence in her honesty.
Colonel West was in the lead comfortably until in the middle of the night she secretly with a couple cronies “recounted” early votes and came up with about a 4000 difference in that recount.
Course you can’t go ape on her cause she is black and you can’t critique blacks now can ya.

Murphy’s seating should’ve been challenged on the spot.
