West-Murphy update: Judge sets hearing, Division of Elections official arrives | Post on Politics
Just like West said.
Now you guys have a conundrum. You have to decide if she's lying for saying the exact same thing West said -- that you claimed was a lie.
How 'bout it? Is she a liar? She has to be, unless you admit West wasn't lying.
Prediction: Not a single one of you will call her a liar, and not a single one of you will say that West WASN'T lying.
You will, however, post even more irrationally that you have so far.
Guaranteed.
FORT PIERCE – A St. Lucie County circuit judge has scheduled a two-hour hearing for Friday on Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West’s request for a recount of all 37,379 ballots cast during early voting in St. Lucie County in his tight reelection fight against Democrat Patrick Murphy.
Murphy holds a 0.58 percent lead over West in unofficial returns from congressional District 18, which includes St. Lucie and Martin counties and northern Palm Beach County.
West has not conceded, citing errors in St. Lucie CountyÂ’s initial early vote tally that prompted Secretary of State Ken Detzner to send three officials to Fort Pierce today to observe and report on the St. Lucie County elections office.
St. Lucie County Elections Supervisor Gertrude Walker said her office double-counted some early ballots and failed to count others on election night. But Walker said the problem was limited to ballots from three of the eight days of early voting and was fixed Sunday during a recount of those votes.
West says a full recount of ballots from all eight days of early voting is needed to eliminate any doubts about St. Lucie CountyÂ’s totals. WestÂ’s motion for injunctive relief asks Judge Dan Vaughn to order a full recount of early votes and bar the county from certifying results until the recount is complete. Vaughn set a hearing on the motion for 1 p.m. Friday.
Oh, look: The initial count was inaccurate. The Elections Supervisor said so.Murphy holds a 0.58 percent lead over West in unofficial returns from congressional District 18, which includes St. Lucie and Martin counties and northern Palm Beach County.
