The Florida Division of Elections is sending three employees to St. Lucie County on Wednesday to try to figure out how 799 votes disappeared in Sunday’s partial recount of the close, nationally watched congressional race between U.S. Rep. Allen West and Democrat Patrick Murphy. Please post more than one long sentence. Source corrected to site style.

Making your opponents votes go away leaves less of a trail than ginning up phoney votes. But, good practice requires that both methods be used in service to the WON.
And they were.
And it worked.
Again.

That large of an error in that small of a sample demands a hand re-count. Anything less is an admission of corruption.

Read the comments from Palm Beach Post readers following the article. What gives with these people? No wonder there are always problems with voting in Palm Beach county. The best was the maroon who complained about the Republicans´ contesting this race but allowing Bush to steal the 2000 election from Gore. Obviously, most of these people are low-information Obama voters.

They should be concerned. This little Congressional election could end up blowing the big Presidential election wide open. I am, if anything, always hopeful.

FTA: The partial recount shaved 667 votes from Murphy’s total and 132 from West’s — a net gain of 535 votes for West that reduced Murphy’s unofficial margin of victory to 1,907 votes
Wonder why the local board only recounted a few of the days´ voting. /s

They recounted 799 votes and 667 were wrong. That sample shows a 95% error rate, which would indicate all the votes need to be recounted, and this time by someone honest, under observation of Republican officials.

At a minimum, and whatever the outcome, this vote miscount fiasco (for just a partial recount) should serve as motivation to delve into looking at a lot more election results.
Given that these investigations can be initiated at the state level we may see progress (forget honest investigations at the Dem-controlled federal government). The process could eventually snowball, as one fraud leads to the investigation of others.

Not surprised that the fearless Col. West is not giving up. Repubs usually throw in the towel too quickly.
So. Now we have to make sure that polling places are uniform and that there are multiple checks.
Contact State and Federal representatives and demand the same safeguards we demand for the rest of the world.
It´s our sacred right.

You can send donations to help West with the cost of the recount, and the required attorneys.
It would be fantastic not to lose Col. West.

The State of Florida doesn´t deserve Allen West. They would be more than satisfied with a burned out liberal freak with a drunk driving record. He probably does understand them a lot better than Col. west.

Judging by the number of articles now appearing across the country revealing widespread Democrat voter fraud, it is likely Obama stole the election. A fraud will be sworn in on Jan. 20. Obama is not my president. He´s just a dude living in public housing and shooting hoops.

Do USA citizen voters in ANY state have the confidence that their votes were secure and the total tally legal & correct in last week´s election? ...Hardly!
Where is any confidence in integrity from the conniving dems who are to be sworn in next January? Who can now expect any of them to actually keep their oath of office when the current crop of statist pols have repeatedly abused the public trust & the Constitution? So, during the next 4 years, why should there be any hope for, ´´change?´´ sigh
God bless Allen West. He has EARNED our trust and respect.

In 1990 103% of the registered Democrats voted fo Gore. 63% of the registered Republicans voted for Bush. Fishy? You BET! It was close, but Bush won in Florida. I am not sure that my vote counted in 2012??

Reply 15 is correct. There were more votes cast than there are voters in the district. This was the first clue.

Mitt Romney no longer trails Barack Obama in the Pew Research Center’s presidential election polling. By about three-to-one, voters say Romney did a better job than Obama in the Oct. 3 debate, and the Republican is now better regarded on most personal dimensions and on most issues than he was in September. Romney is seen as the candidate who has new ideas and is viewed as better able than Obama to improve the jobs situation and reduce the budget deficit. Fully 66% of registered voters say Romney did the better job in last Wednesday’s debate, compared with just 20% who say Obama

The discussion of the party identification composition of poll samples comes up in every presidential election with which I've been involved. Interested observers often opine that when a given poll shows that Candidate X is ahead, it cannot be correct because there is a higher percentage of voters who identify with Candidate X’s party in the sample than there should be, based on comparison to some previous standard.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

Stuart Varney said this morning on "Varney & Co." that one of his producers was given a questionnaire with some surprisingly intrusive questions on it when he switched doctors. One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care? Why do you, Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, care
