RNC chairman calls for full recount in West-Murphy race

Alexandra Jaffe

Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus is echoing Rep. Allen West's (R-Fla.) call for a full recount of early ballots in his race, offering a rare show of support for a Republican lawmaker still locked in a yet-undecided race.

"The voters of Florida's 18th Congressional District deserve to have their ballots counted properly. Congressman Allen West has asked election officials in St. Lucie County to count all early voting ballots, and I strongly urge them to do so in order to erase any existing concerns about irregularities in the tabulation process," said Priebus in a statement.

St. Lucie County officials recounted only three days of early ballots, which they say were initially affected by a machine malfunction.

That recount caused a shift in the number of votes counted in the final tally, a result that prompted West's campaign to file a complaint in a county circuit court requesting an injunction to force St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker to recount all eight days of early ballots.

Florida secretary of state, Ken Detzner, announced Tuesday that he would send three auditors to St. Lucie County to investigate voter tabulation and machines that led to skewed results.

West remains .58 percentage points behind Murphy in the most recent tally of votes, just short of the .5 percentage point threshold required to trigger an automatic recount.

Murphy declared victory this past weekend, and is currently attending orientation activities with new members of Congress. West is also on the Hill for the lame-duck session of Congress.

But result of the race will not be officially certified until Friday.

Priebus' engagement in the race reflects the national attention it has been given. It's one of five House races nationwide that have not yet been called, but Priebus has not yet weighed in on the other four.

But the RNC chairman said in his statement that the recount is "not about any one candidate," but rather about "preserving and proecting the integrity of our democratic system."

"Regardless of the outcome, voters have the right to know

I heard on the radio this morning that Congressman Tom Price was considering whether to challenge Saxby Chambliss in the GOP Senate primary in two years. I really hope that he does, because it will be like killing two birds with one stone.

A. It will get rid of Chambliss as one of my Senators.
B. It will get rid of Tom Price as my Congressman.

No, MYTH ROMNEY is and was a degenerate military service avoiding scumbag from a long line of degenerate military service avoiding scumbags foisted on us by the crooks at the RNC.

He lost because of Universal Suffrage enfranchised degenerate blood sucking morons voting for a communist and real Americans that subscribe to the Code of Honor refusing to cast a ballot for a fraud.

Forward Comrade!

I totally agee wth that, which makes it all the more important to have strong, well articulated and confident defenses of conservatism as part of the message.

We didn’t have that much at all in this campaign, not after Newt in SC. AFter that, pfft.

Walker's legal rebuttal states she doesn't have the authority to order a recount. That is spelled out in state law, which says only an election decided by 0.5 percent or less triggers an automatic recount. What happened Sunday, Walker has said, technically is a "retabulation," which a supervisor can perform at her discretion when possible errors exist in vote counting.

She partially recounted ballots on Sunday and is calling it a "retabulation" rather than a "recount" on a technicality. She's playing word games.

FWIU partial recounts or retabulations are illegal under Florida law. If you recount some of the ballots, you have to recount all of the ballots. And this was the second partial recount, the first being on election night.

Sorry! I sure don’t know what happened! I never hit post more than once but seems if I ping more than one or two people my post posts three times! I have also received FreepMail from friends and their message is repeated three times in a row in my mailbox. And with the exact same time listed.

What most refuse to acknowledge is that it was unlikely that ANYBODY could have beaten the voter fraud planned and perpetrated by the Obama machine. They seem to prefer pointing fingers, blaming Romney and blathering on about Patraeus' sex life.



Col Allen West; "I don't want to see America become like Zimbabwe where people don’t trust their electoral process. If we cannot trust the integrity of the voting system then we are no longer a free republic".

Col West has opened the door.

We must fight election fraud.

It falls on ‘We the People’.

Excerpt from Mitt Romney's reference:

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...

Remember this is the party of “count every vote” “every vote should be counted” that is trying to stop the Allen West recount (which I predict he’d lose like any GOPer). AND they’re doing it in FL!

"RNC Chairman Rience Priebus is echoing Rep. West's call for a recount.....offering a rare (!) show of support for a Republican lawmaker still locked in a .....blah, blah, blah....."

Now, as the poet put it, "what is so rare as a day in June?" Well, of course, it's as rare as the RNC's support for conservative candidates needing party backing and support anytime, anywhere.

And just why should support for West be typified as "rare"? In cases like this recount, RNC support SHOULD NEVER BE "RARE" !!!

In essence, the RNC chairperson as well as GOP State Chairs across the fruited plain should NEVER show overt partiality in GOP PRIMARIES. BUT ONCE THERE IS A PRIMARY WINNER, THE RNC Chair or a State Chair SHOULD SUPPORT HIM OR HER IF AND WHEN THEY SUBSEQUENTLY BECOME LOCKED IN A DEADLY, WINNER-TAKE-ALL RECOUNT.

Mr. Rience Priebus is a chicken-shivers Chairman. If Col. West was one of Priebus' reach-across-the-aisles favorites, the Chairman would be down in Florida standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the freepers vigiling the recount office night and day.
