| Election officials in St. Lucie County will recount early votes cast in the hotly contested race for Florida´s 18th district´s House seat between Tea Party favorite Rep. Allen West and his challenger, Democrat Patrick Murphy. The St. Lucie County Canvassing Board announced late Saturday it had set an “emergency meeting” to start at 7 a.m. Sunday at its headquarters, to “recount all ballots cast during early voting.” The number of early ballots is estimated by officials to be roughly 37,000. West, who has refused to concede the race, is currently trailing Murphy by 2,442 votes,

fta: "Late on Election Night, Congressman West led by 1,700 votes," West for Congress said in a statement. "Following the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections’ decision to recount thousands of early ballots after a technical glitch, the margin shifted by 4,000."
Reminds me of the Al Franken "win" last time. Makes one wonder how many of the close losses followed the same pattern.

Download this PDF (below) of St. Lucie County’s vote data to see with your own eyes the massive fraud in EVERY one of that county’s voting districts.
For example, at the Harbor Ridge Clubhouse polling place: 850 registered voters 1,550 cards cast 182.35% turnout
Read ’em all!

Hat tip to the LDotter yesterday whose Michael Savage Facebook page reference led to that St. Lucie County data trove.
I believe Mitt Romney did NOT lose votes in St. Lucie County, Florida . . . I believe Obama CREATED votes there and nationwide.

I´m on a "smart phone" so I´ll have to look at PDF file later . Voting rights include safeguards to guarantee the integrity of elections. Without voter ID laws, the end of inane motor voter laws and contols on early voting, it is over. The USA is reeling into banana republic ststus .

Of course Obama played hoops on election day instead of campaigning.
Of course Obama doesn´t have to answer questions.
When every thing is FIXED for him, Obama does not have to do any of the above!!

I just looked at the PDF file. This is WORSE than the Al Franken election. If election fraud is this blatant, what are we to do?
The democrats have figured out that they wont be seriously challenged and the Fed wont do a thing. And..... the Government is NOT AFRAID of the electorate.

Do we need to send money or other help to Alan West? it is high time someone did contest elections from the right side of the campaign.
In Ohio the state legislature has interview a programmer who made a program that could switch votes on the electronic voter machines. Is there a paper paaath in these precincts in Florida/
Some voters in Florida and Ohio said they voted for Romney and the machine printed obama. Might have been used error but should be investigated in lieu of the Ohio legislature findings.
The GOP have long taken the dems chee\ating rather than disillusion the public as in the JFK Daley Chicagoway provided votes that Nixon would not fight.
We the GOP public can take more fight and we can say, everybody does it.

Allen West was a speaker at yesterday´s Muster at the Seal Museum here in Fort Pierce.As he passed the stands people stood up , applauded and cheered.It should have been his day to celebrate his re-election. He was forceful and upbeat but you could feel the tension in crowd. There is something very wrong here.

Mia Love in Utah would not have been voter fraud unless in some metro areas. Utah haas voter ID laws.
it could have been closet racism as people defined in the first obama win exit polls. people saying one thing in racism.
If it was voter fraud in Utah it was in some top election official throwing it or reporting it falsely. Too bad Mia didn´t demand recount. Matheson is anati-gun and the rurals hate him.
he campaign ad lies against Mia were that she would raise taxes. And he knows to dog whistle to the conservative "independents". the least politically engaged demographic in the nation on the right side of the aisle IMO--Politics are contentious and contention is of the devil so me not being partisan but independent makes me above it all" Yikes! Can´t fix dumb-on-purpose/
Anyway to the "independents´ Matheson, son of a popular governor, dog whistles that he is "conservative, independent, and working for Utah" (as he continually votes democrat liberal most of the time and they being used to supporting leaders never check his votes-that might be too contentious?
When Khrushchev said Americans were gullible,in his "We will bury you" talk, he knew our open heartedness. And if he had politically analyzed the Utahns? LOL.
Utah is not immune to fraud and cheating at some higher levels and democrats are in Salt Lake City where metro power lies. Who knows and who will ever know unless some lower level person finds out and blows the whistle as in the Olympics scandal. Someone righteously indignant person as in truth will out? Truth will out if someone isn´t bought even in most conservative state in the union, where neither national candidate bothers to waste ad money.

Without a hand count, there is no way that I know to verify if the machines are not shedding or flipping votes. Remember, it´s who counts the vote.
This a simple script that could be put into the counting machines to do whatever the programmer desires or is instructed to do.
Rep. West needs to demand a hand count.

Yesterday, I came up with an idea how the millions who think Obama´s winning is fraudulent can show their displeasure:
On Inauguration day (Jan.20th), fly your American flag but drape black material around it. Or put your empty chair in the yard or on the front porch with a small American flag plus drape black material around it. Get pictures to news outlets. We really need to reinforce that America died with Obama´s re-election. If the Republicans/Conservatives win any battles in Congress, we can have a massive victory celebration. We must show how Americans feel - that we are not behind Obama. This might wear him and the dRats down a bit so that we can build momentum going into 2014 like we did before 2010.
How sad that today is Veteran´s Day. Where is Barry? Will he honor the Vets? If Barry does speak to an assembled group of veterans, I hope they turn their backs on him ala John Kerry in 2004.

Here in Minnesota, there have been two elections that have been decided by recounts. Frankens was one and the other was the current govenor Dayton. In both, the republican candidate had the lead on the initial count by slight margins. After the recount the democrat won. Funny how that works. And Minnesota´s voters turned down a voter ID referendum during the most recent election.

It was no surprise to me to learn that 3 million people vote twice. Once in their northeast liberal homes and once again when they arrive at their winter homes in Florida. I have spoken to some of these people and they think it´s funny. Haha,they are putting something over on someone. There is NO database to discover these people and punish them and until we get serious, this will continue. I wish someone like Mr. West would tackle this problem.

Am I the only one who finds it not believable that the news media - who constantly touted the huge turnouts for early voting and absentee votes and even after all that, voters had to stand in line for three and four hours to cast their votes, and yet the vote was less than 2008? That is not possible...
Considered the huge crowds Romney was drawing and how well he did in the debates, my guess is that Romney votes were destroyed by the thousands. That´s my theory and I´m sticking to it. (Remember the one poll location where people were not allowed to put their own votes through the scanner? That one poll worker at the time had at least 70 finished ballots piled up beside her?)

I think the ´RATS have perpetrated a massive voter fraud on the entire nation to re-elect Øbama. We should look at Rep. West´s recount demand in Florida as a test case. We all know tha ´RATS cheat to win elections. They thought West would just "go away" after the election fraud but he is standing firm. I bet he will win in an honest recount.

#33, you are definitely NOT the only one. I said from the beginning, before we even had a nominee, that Zero would get considerably less votes than in 2008 and our nominee, if we united behind him, would get considerably more than McCain. There is no way I believe Romney received LESS votes than McCain! Impossible.

St. Lucie county, the county next to ours, is a Democrat stronghold, especially since the mass immigration from the Greater New York area into Port St. Lucie by machine Democrats from from places like New Jersey, Long Island, Westchester, etc. It has apparently become as incompetently corrupt as that other Democrat stronghold, Palm Beach County, home of the Hanging Chad, and the bungled ballot box stuffing which led to Al Gore´s unexpected defeat instead of his pre-planned victory.

We have an electorate that is too stupid to understand that anyone who objects to voter ID is advocating fraud.
We have an electorate that is too stupid to understand that early voting and ´motor voter´ accommodations are put in place solely to support fraud.
If voting is so unimportant to you that you cannot make arrangements to show up at the polls on the appointed day with proper ID (or properly apply for a verifiable, absentee ballot), you probably shouldn´t vote.

Disheartened sums it up. The conservatives who were working overtime for the Romney campaign have to be just sick. We give all this effort and time and Romney lays down and lets the rats steal the election. At the time we needed leadership from Romney he tosses in the towel. Rep West is a perfect example of the type of politician we need if conservatives want to win any elections in the future. Amazing, the only demographic Obama couldn´t control their vote or change their ballots was the military overseas. So he defunded their voting programs and didn´t have to worry about them.

Why don’t we just give our country’s biased, bought & paid for media a pass? Why don’t we just ignore the rampant voter fraud that exists during virtually every one of our political seasons? Why don’t we allow certain prominent, influential people, who have a great deal of firsthand experience with controlled substances although having no formal training in Pharmacology, to make our decisions for us?
Life could be so much simpler.

The computer programmer testimony in the link is common knowledge among tech people. I would have assumed that both parties have tech people to scrutinize the source code for the computers and safeguards to make sure that this code is the code running during the election. I would suggest that the computer report the checksum of its code every time it runs and the original checksum of the scrutinized and compiled code be widely published in newspapers and on every machine. People with smartphones could snap a photo of this evidence. I would think measures such as these should be a minimum if there is no paper trail where the voter can check his paper vote on the spot when he votes!

First have to prove that West won the election, and the next hurdle is something actually being done about it. Good luck to West.
Can they check the presidential vote in that congressional district for descrepancies?
Republican turnout was lower than 2008 and 2004? I never read anywhere that the Republican party has lost membership. Has it? Has all the blame Bush garbage caused Republican voters to switch parties? I know of former Republican voters that left the Republican party because of the Bush era.
Romney would need 64 additional electoral votes to win the election. You would need to prove voter fraud in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, and Colorado to the tune of 500000 to 600000 votes total. Its possible, but has to be proven. Not sure there is enough voter fraud to flip the entire lection. Would need voter recounts in all four states looking for fraud. Early voting could be fraudulent. Are the states using computerized voting? Look for flipping of Romney votes or Romney votes being dropped. Hope there is a paper trail to compare against the electronic vote.
Regardless, the lib media controled the narrative, and should be held responsible. They hid stories, ambushed Romney during debates, and flat out lied.

Last fall, I thought the premeditated terrorist attack on our consular facility in Benghazi — an attack, let us remember, that left Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans dead — would cost Barack Obama the election. I was wrong about that, as indeed I was wrong about the basic dynamics of the election more generally. I looked at Obama’s dismal record, his incontinent spending, the failure of his economic policies to spark growth or jump-start the jobs market, his “you-didn’t-build-that” attack on individual effort, and I thought “He’s toast.” The September 11 attack on Benghazi

The Internal Revenue Service has been caught engaging in political profiling while processing applications for tax-exempt status. In this case it was against organizations with “tea-party” or “patriot ” in their names and other right-wing groups. Next time it could be libertarian or left-wing antiwar and pro-civil-liberties groups. No dissenter can ever rest assured he is safe from the arbitrary power of the IRS.Nothing will have been learned from this scandal if all that happens is the firing of some IRS administrators and the issuance of new guidelines on 501(c)(4) applications. That is not nearly enough.

SOCHI, Russia -- The mountains of Sochi are now home to Potanin´s slope, Gazprom´s gondola lift and Sberbank´s ski jump. The nicknames used by locals and an army of construction workers leave no doubt about who is paying for the 2014 Winter Games: Russia´s business powerhouses. Other countries that have hosted the Olympics have overwhelmingly used public funds to pay for the construction of needed venues and new infrastructure. The Russian government, however, has gotten state-controlled companies and tycoons to foot more than half of the bill, which now stands at $51 billion

WASHINGTON —President Obama used his weekly radio address on Saturday to reassure the American people that he has “played no role whatsoever” in the U.S. government over the past four years. “Right now, many of you are angry at the government, and no one is angrier than I am,” he said. “Quite frankly, I am glad that I have had no involvement in such an organization.” The President’s outrage only increased, he said, when he “recently became aware of a part of that government called the Department of Justice.” “The more I learn about the activities of these individuals,

OVER the last decade, the United States has become a less violent country in every way save one. As Americans commit fewer and fewer crimes against other people’s lives and property, they have become more likely to inflict fatal violence on themselves. In the 1990s, the suicide rate dipped with the crime rate. But since 2000, it has risen, and jumped particularly sharply among the middle-aged. The suicide rate for Americans 35 to 54 increased nearly 30 percent between 1999 and 2010; for men in their 50s, it rose nearly 50 percent. More Americans now die of suicide

In the days after the Benhazi attack, the State Department scurried to cover up its failure to heed warnings of such attacks while the White House scurried to cover up the fact that that attacks were the work of al Qaeda-linked terrorists of the sort President Obama supposedly had largely vanquished. The final Benghazi “talking points” and Susan Rice’s talk show appearances represent the product of this scurrying. To help advance the narrative that the Benghazi attacks were spontaneous, and thus (a) not to have been anticipated and (b) not linked to al Qaeda,

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

PRESIDENT OBAMA: You are the mantle of Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington and Ralph Bunche and Langston Hughes and George Washington Carver and Ralph Abernathy and Thurgood Marshall and, yes, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. These men were many things to many people and they knew full well the role that racism played in their life. But when it came to their own accomplishments and sense of purpose, they had no time for excuses. Every one of you has a grandma or an uncle or a parent whose told you at some point in life

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
