Please help Allen West: GOPer is still on the loose, direly in need of a psych evaluation
As weÂ’re all aware, Rep. Allen West (Tea-FL) is not losing gracefully, after being defeated by Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy. So, heÂ’s tried everything possible to remain relevant, including counting and perhaps recounting ballots ad infinitum while the entirety of his (former) constituency passes out from exhaustion.
A hearing has been scheduled for Friday to hear Allen WestÂ’s request for a full recount of roughly 37,379 St. Lucie County ballots. A partial recount was done last weekend which made the race a bit closer, but not enough to trigger a full recount.
Enter crazy man: West for Congress today sent a letter to Florida Secretary of State, Ken Detzner, claiming there are vote count discrepancies uncovered (uncovered I tell yaÂ’!) after reviewing public records released today from the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections office.

This is an interesting avenue West is taking, mainly because early voters are typically Democrats, which is why the State’s Governor and his colleagues wanted to eradicate early voting — unless he’s questioning the validity of the votes garnered which are not in his favor — but that doesn’t appear to be his justification.

While the campaign has not yet been provided access to the poll book information for votes cast on Election Day, an examination of the early and absentee ballot information raises significant questions relating to nearly 1,000 votes.
According to Tim Edson, West for Congress campaign manager, “If there is this much discrepancy for early and absentee ballots, just imagine how inaccurate the counts might be for all precincts on Election Day. As we have said from the beginning, we are simply seeking an accurate and fair count of all votes so that we may preserve the integrity of the voting process for the citizens of District 18.”
