The goon thugs in 2008 were there to chase away the real poll watchers and intimidate them. Dems are the ones committing the fraud and they all know are aware of that fact.
Allen West filed multiple lawsuits. The opposition cherry picked one precinct to formally recount. West had more votes, but not enough to win. It is very expense to recount and he finally through in the towel. The Florida SoS and county Supervisor of Elections were of no help.
Don’t recall the name but was the SoS not a Republican? I think he was and Republicans also had full control of the redistricting process which altered West’s district specifically to get him out of Congress. They did the same thing to Sandy Adams’ district, who got thrown in with a moderate/RINO incumbent and the moderate/RINO won the primary.
This was all by design, by a group of spineless Florida RINOs, the same types who today are very likely proudly waving the “Elect Hillary”, er I mean #NeverTrump banner.
Why West folded so easily, I don’t know.
