UPDATE 1:47 P.M.: West going to court — Will contest certification – From “a source close to Allen West” provided to Legal Insurrection:

St Lucie missed the deadline for certification, so automatically the previous results are what go to the Secretary of State for final certification.

Our attorneys are seeing if it’s possible (today) to get an emergency extension of the deadline.

We have until Nov 30 (10 days) to contest the election in Talahassee, and then there would be a hearing scheduled in December.

Of course, the Secretary of State may decide to NOT certify the results because of the discrepancies -and we have yet to see the results of the auditor’s report which may recommend a retabulation.

Just as background, one precinct has 7 voters registered and yet recorded about 900 votes. That’s a 13,000 percent turnout.

Clearly, something is amiss.

Intentional foot dragging?

"Edson said other problems arose this morning. The recount showed 900 voters cast ballots in precinct 93, where there are 7 registered voters, Edson said."

This is why we recount. You can't certify this result. Now he's got Constitutional issues to preserve and can get it out of kangaroo, er, Florida courts.

I no longer have any faith in the voting systems after seeing the following videos-

Bev Harris of Black Box Voting did the last two, and they show that the memory cards containing the totals from the scanners are easily rigged by a competent programmer - Democrat OR Republican!

Without a full recount with *clean* machines West will still lose. We are screwed!

Even a Socialist country supposedly have democratic vote? What we have here is some sort of criminal enterprize loosely disguised as a democracy.

The recount showed 900 voters cast ballots in precinct 93, where there are 7 registered voters,

Give me a break, I could accept maybe 800 or 850, but 900????? /sarc

And why is succession such a bad idea? Sounds
to me like the only choice!

Keep up the good fight, West.
