Judge denies Allen West's request for fuller recount


 
(CNN) – A Florida judge on Friday denied Rep. Allen West's request for a recount of all early ballots in his race for re-election because his appeal did not meet the requirements for a temporary injunction, CNN affiliate WPBF reported.

West's campaign had filed a complaint Tuesday in St. Lucie County, calling for the court to order a recount of all of the early ballots cast in Florida's 18th Congressional District.

West, a first term Republican congressman and retired Army lieutenant colonel, and Patrick were locked in one of the country's most expensive races for a U.S. House seat, according to a ranking prepared by the Center for Responsive Politics. West raised $17 million through mid-October and Murphy brought in $3.7 million, according for Federal Election Commission records.

On Friday, the website of Florida's secretary of state indicated Murphy had a roughly 1,900-vote lead over West out of 330,594 total ballots cast. The .58% margin falls outside of the .5% less margin needed for an automatic recount.

The votes are considered unofficial until November 20, when election officials have said the results will be certified. But West's campaign argues the certification date should be postponed until all the early ballots are counted.

I thought it was important that every vote gets counted, I guess that only applies if it is a democrat and then they must count until the dem wins.

1. He's just not having a good time over this.

Good!

Guess what DUmmy, in 2 years if he runs again he will return to congress, and Allen Grayson will be thrown out again.

Allen West is a violent, vindictive sob. I really believe he is psychotic.

Isn't violent a dog whistle?

5. Hey West, you lunatic

Pack your ****ing bags and get the **** out. And take Walsh, your brother from another mother, the hell with you.

And yet another dog whistle.

If the DUmmies can play that game so can I.

Apparently he's getting the recount after all.

Too bad for the primitives.

Odd that the election supervisor who wouldn't count ALL the early votes went into the hospital the same night that the election board voted for her to do a recount of ALL the votes.

Nope....it's the way democrats handle a crisis.....FDR would get sick whenever he was confronted with his ...uh...crookedness.....Jesse Jackson Jr. went in the loony bin.

I'm sure there are other examples.....oh, Ted "The Swimmer" wore a lawsuit collar for awhile until his troubles went away.

There were also screams for recounts in 2004.
One of which resulted in some rather odd happenings in MN.

West is a black conservative. The primitives want to deny their existence as much as the Muslims who want to deny Israel's existence. 

If the primitive's could nuke West from orbit, they would in a heartbeat. And then they would blame conservatives for the collateral damage from said nuke.

I wonder if the outcome of a congressional election has ever been reversed by a recount.

In this case, I think West just has to pick up 247 votes for there to be a full recount.  They are only recounting the early votes right now. 

One thing that popped up to bring attention to this county was someone found a post-it note stuck on a ballot that was written; "ignore West".
