Rep. Allen West is leading by more than 300 votes in Palm Beach County, Fla., a hopeful sign for the Tea Party favorite fighting for his political life after Tuesday’s election, a source told TheBlaze.
No winner has been declared in the congressional race between the Republican West and his Democratic opponent Patrick Murphy, though Murphy had a 2,456-vote lead in the unofficial vote total.
But a Republican observer who has been monitoring the counting process said West pulled ahead in Palm Beach County on Thursday as the initial count continues. Ballot printing errors led to ballots that could not be fed through scanners in some areas, so Florida election workers have been forced to reproduce their contents onto new ballots that can be read properly, the observer said. As the votes are counted for the first time, West has taken a slim lead.
It’s a separate issue from what’s happening in St. Lucie County, where West has demanded a recount over “disturbing irregularities.” He filed a motion Wednesday to have paper ballots counted and to impound voting machines and all paper ballots cast, WFOR-TV reported.
The observer called St. Lucie County more Republican in makeup while Palm Beach County is a mix but overall Democratic.
“The fact that he is ahead, period, even in this county is a good sign,” the observer said.

Remember the TX Obama rep two telling the person how to vote in Gl and Texas on tape !
Fl had political county election heads .
It’s s huge mistake .
Absentee voting is a scam too
The broward retires vote twice and never get charged .
Some ny paper caught thousand registered in fl and ny and all Dems .
But early voting gives all these crooks unlimited access to these machines for a week !
Is that just your own conclusion, or are you going on specific information on West’s goals and intentions?
Were odd sized ballots given mostly to Repub. voters? Also, I understand many of the voting machines/scanners were the old Venezuelan/Smartmatic/Diebold type, which can be hacked.
I want to see Allen West in the 2016 primaries either way. Here’s a leader I would follow into hell.
in 2008 http://www.wsbtv.com/news/news/some-georgians-suspected-of-voting-twice/nJRks/
the video is not up now but the media went ot the places of some of these voters and all for obama and all played dumb or denied it.
Surely we have a group which can get the votes and cross them off on hwo they are and their address.
Now this year a NY paper finds more Dems from there are voting in this state,
Trust me this state is republican if it were not for the rigged elections
That site turns out to be a satire site so that story didn’t really happen.
But there are a bunch of military ballots that are missing and won’t ever be counted. Not sure how many or in what states.
Now THIS is how you fight! I would love to see West replace the Grim Weeper as Speaker of the House.
VA and here FL
VA had military votes split evenly which is unheard of and why only one state?
FL has not counted all our military I think and shoudl help the COL in his recount
The media needs to shut up about who wins and stop trying to beat other outlets.
The media needs to investigate this and the GOP needs to recount all votes in WI,,VA, FL, OH as those state plus Mia Loves race does not add up
You are correct about Stalin.
Just finished reading The Case of the Missing White Voters By Sean Trende over on RCP. Basically, as he posits, we are somehow missing 5 million white folks from the total vote over 2008. He uses exit polling data, which is sketchy at best, and also arrives at the conclusion all other categories rose slightly.
If I were king for a day, I’d have all the votes in swing states recounted starting tomorrow. As far as I know, only one FLA district has needed to recount.
The whole result seems very odd to me. But, I’m a conservative and I see dead people (and illegals) voting, everywhere. There’s no proof, they always say. Well, voter fraud isn’t done with the intention of leaving a big fat trail behind when there is no re-validation of the counts performed.
I would agree. Even if it is the case that we can never again win the presidency, we might as well lose with style. Allen West is an excellent man, and an excellent messenger. As much as I do like Rubio, in 2016, I would vote for West over him in the primary. The left will have a meltdown if it turns out West won!
I want to see Allen West in the 2016 primaries either way. Here’s a leader I would follow into hell. .................................. Yeah, he’s a great guy and a proven Leader, but if you read the comments, some of those people would send him there. He’s a criminal!! OH??? who did he kill, who did he rob? Using questionable bad judgement once is now a criminal offense? I read those comments and would like to strangle some of those experts. Frankly I think one person is writing them under different names (Probably a juvenile or a grown up with a juvenile mentality.). So many there who talk the talk and never walked the walk. Forget 2016, if he runs the MSM will smear him until he ends up being tried at the Hague.
The Dems fought for early voting for one reason !
To steal elections
RE> The Dems fought for early voting for one reason ! To steal elections.
And we are trying to get voter id laws passed in every state to keep them from stealing elections, and being called racists for doing it. They have us beat at every turn, it would seem. Lovely state of affairs we have.
every vote in those states WI, PA, FL, VA, OH, need to be checked before it is too late, get a frgging judge go shopping for one then and do what the left does and then check these votes as 100% turn outs and all for obama etc.
Agree! I told my daughter...watch these people and they'll tell you who they are. In the weeks before the election, numerous Dims - including 0 - repeatedly said "Get out and vote early!" "Early vote!". Not that their base actually did, but it served as an *excuse* for where all those *votes* came from.
the left wants to get rid of the COL because he poses a threat ot them, he is black, conservative and does not ack down and that scares the hell out of the left.
they went after Sarah because she spoke up
They went after the Col because he speaks up
Mia Love, a budding star, a lack conservative woman who was to pose a big threat to the left and even though she was up double digits she lost.
Does not make sense and that is because they took her out before she got too famous.
If any one speaks up the left uses their lapdogs the media to take them out and call them names.
Our side whether it be some in talk radio or those elected know this and thus they shut up to not be targeted.
does West have a legal team contribution site?
not sure but I know seek on here knows very well the COL so I;ll ask and get back to you , but if I do nto then just remind please
