Attorneys for Republican U.S. Rep. Allen Wests campaign today will ask a judge for a recount of all 37,379 ballots cast during early voting in St. Lucie County in Wests tight re-election race against apparent Democratic victor Patrick Murphy.
Arguments before St. Lucie County Circuit Judge Dan Vaughn begin at 1 p.m. in Fort Pierce. Follow postonpolitics.com, palmbeachpost.com and twitter.com/gbennettpost for updates.
While waging its court fight, the West legal team also sent a letter late Thursday to Secretary of State Ken Detzner outlining what it says are other inconsistencies in St. Lucie Countys vote totals and arguing that serious doubt exists as to the accuracy of the vote count so far reported by St. Lucie County.
Detzner has sent three representatives to Fort Pierce to monitor the St. Lucie County elections office and make recommendations.
He's the bad dream that just won't go away.
