    Default Rep. Allen West demands recount

    http://www.politico.com/news/stories...476.html?hp=r3


    Florida Rep. Allen West on Wednesday demanded a recount as his bid for reelection remained too close to call, with the tea party Republican trailing his Democratic opponent by fewer than 3,000 votes.
    Florida again.

    Looks like the "Franken" model of election stealing is in play here....

    (you forgot to quote this piece of the article)

    Patrick Murphy has 160,328 votes, or 50.4 percent, to West’s 157,782 votes, or 49.6 percent, with 100 percent of precincts reporting, according to The Associated Press, which has yet to call the race.

    West, who warned before the election of “nefarious actions” by Democrats, suggested a county election supervisor was trying to rig the election.

    Late last night Congressman West maintained a districtwide lead of nearly 2,000 votes until the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections ‘recounted’ thousands of early ballots,” West’s campaign said in a statement. “Following that ‘recount’ Congressman West trailed by 2,400 votes.”


    HMMMMM maybe a National recount in all races is called for....

    I'm no fan of Col. West, but he's well w/i his rights to ask for a recount. Democracy isn't partisan.

    He's entitled to a recount if the totals fall under the rules. Otherwise he's not. I love how this accusation from West's campaign is taken at face value. Jesus how gullible!! It's not like West has a documented history of lying or anything.

    I remember when wingnuts were pushing that story, which died out when no evidence surfaced. Funny how that works
