Race for Florida’s 18th Congressional District Remains Undecided Stuart, FL – Today West for Congress released the following statement regarding the state of the race in Florida’s 18th Congressional District:

“With all provisional and absentee votes counted in the 18th District, Congressman West currently trails by roughly 2,400 votes, a margin outside of the threshold for an automatic recount. The race remains undecided because there are issues that still need to be resolved in St. Lucie County. Late on Election Night, Congressman West led by 1,700 votes. Following the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections’ decision to recount thousands of early ballots after a technical glitch, the margin shifted by 4,000. In order to ensure that votes were not doubled counted, we have requested that the St. Lucie Supervisor of Elections make public the poll check-in books to ensure the numbers of ballots cast matches the numbers of voters checked-in at the polls. Once that information is provided we believe the outcome of the election will be clear. It is troubling that days later that information is still not available. Our sole focus is ensuring all ballots were counted fairly and accurately.”

Did a judge already refuse to let him check this?

I sure hope he can prove that he is the winner.

West is a true hero and terribly needed in national leadership.

[RightOnline]

He was a Negro off the plantation. He had to be destroyed.

[bigheadfred]

With an obama “win” the recount will show a 242% turnout against West.

[machogirl]

Good for him. Perhaps the spineless (remember Minn? Al Frankenstein?) Repubs can take a lesson from Col. West.

[GeronL]

There is no way he will be allowed the chance to prove it.

The vote fraudster messed up when they madee it too close, the “recount” made sure to clear up the discrepancy.

Now there is no recourse.

[dadfly]

late at night, huh.

let them know that we know representative west.

we are, steadfast and loyal.

[bgill]

They’ve had 4 days (or months) to cook the books.

Unless they provide evidence that West clearly was legally out-voted I don’t think West should EVER concede. Maybe we have had such a situation before where a candidate never concedes ... not sure

On Veteran’s Day—very fitting.

WHOA!!!!

West, a Veteran and many of the ballots are from veterans!

It would be great if a contingent of conservative veterans showed up in silent protest in support of West!

[smoothsailing]

I think you’re on the wrong thread.

[neverbluffer]

Here is the problem as I see it.

Look at all the pictures of the “election supervisors” in some of those counties....

[Kenny]

I pray to God he doesn’t give up. If he can prove the fraud, then we’ll be able to prove it elsewhere.

Hang in there, West!

[matthew fuller]

WTF?
Are you on the right thread?

[Gator113]

THANK YOU.... No I was not on the right thread. Damn.

[Gator113]

Thank you.... you’re right and I just asked for it to be deleted.
