The Allen West for Congress campaign has now filed suit in St. Lucie County to have all early votes recounted and to hold of certification of the election results until the recount is completed:

FOX NEWS – Florida Rep. Allen West said Tuesday he filed a circuit court complaint challenging the official result of his race, which ended with him losing re-election by 2,442 votes.

The lawsuit asks the St. Lucie County court for a preliminary injunction that would order election officials to recount early votes in the state’s 18th Congressional District and refrain from certifying the results until the process in complete.

He was also on with Mark Levin tonight where not only mentioned the above lawsuit, but made clear this election isn’t about a West victory, but about a fair electoral process that the people in his district can trust:

This is about us asking questions. This is about us making sure that the 22 years I spent in uniform to serve this great nation – I took an oath to the Constitution to support and defend it. And I want to make sure that that oath that I continue to serve under means something. It is about, like I said, the honor and the integrity of our electoral process.

And I know that there are people out there that are Democrats or liberals that are listening and their whooping and hollering. You know, if you want me gone that’s fine. But do not do it at the expense of the voters in Congressional district 18. All I am asking for is a fair and equitable elections process and let the results come out where they may.

Richard Nixon, knowing the dems had cheated in 1960, did not object or challenge the count, saying that to do so would be bad for the nation. His not doing so, and nipping this trend in the bud, has been worse. The dems have continued to cheat with impunity, and it is getting so bad that our Republic is severely threatened.

Enacting laws making voter fraud an form of treason, which I believe it is, and adjusting penalties to reflect that may help a little, but each case must be fully prosecuted.

Do you people know NDAA? Well, check West's voting record...he voted to take away your 1,4,5,6,8, and 14 amendment Protections!!! Yeah, he's a real prince! He's in the same class as: Obama/Biden and Romney/Ryan!!!

Only Ron Paul was our Constitution's hope.

This is an honorable man if there is fraud I hope it is discovered and Mr. West can continue to serve our nation. When evil triumphs everyone suffers. Evil had a devastating victory on Black Tuesday.

If he loses in Florida, hope he moves to Utah. Maybe in two years he can replace the cameleon Jim Matheson.

Why is there not a national uproar over something like this?! They have done a partial recount and West gained a net of more than 500 votes!! Just on a partial recount!! This is a travesty! I don't care if he was a liberal democrat, I would feel the same way! It's like we live in some kind of corrupt third world country!

Of course this is a travesty, and it must be pursued, but West is a Giant in the conservative movement, he's precisely what we need right now. The House is a waste of his talents, he needs a larger stage.

As I have said before, he can be Speaker now if he could get the votes IN CONGRESS from Re-pubes.

He does not have to be an elected Congressman.

I know this sounds odd, but look it up.

Everyone knows that, right?

WE KNOW John BONE-Head won't vote for him.

Man, that would shake things up NOW !

"All Ballots Counted, Allen West Solidly Defeated By Patrick Murphy".

I guess that less than .005% of the votes is 'solidly defeated' according to the Huffington Post. ;-) ;-)

If he had been the Democratic candidate (and Black to boot), we would never hear the end of the screams for a re-count.

yes, but if votes were destroyed as they may have been in other states then how can america ever know the truth to this insane injustice. There needs to be a better way to police these polls.

The liberal extremist, democrat, commie agenda is that the end justifies the means. So, the goal is to eliminate all conservative, capitalist, tea party types at any and all costs. Even if that means each living democrat voters votes at least ten times and all deceased voters vote at least 5 times. Furthermore, its nationwide, not just restricted to a single congressional district in FLA.

It does make me wonder. This is one Florida county. It has been shown that 200,000-300,000 votes in Ohio, Virginia, and Florida could have changed the results of the election. There were 52 districts in Penn. that had 100% Obama votes, no Romney votes. Statistically this is impossible. (Not talking ONE district). The same happened in twenty something Ohio districts.

So, in St. Lucie County the votes changed 2000 to the Democrats favor. Take that by 100 districts, you already have 200,000 votes.

I know, no one cares. No one listens. No one is checking. The RINOS do nothing.

But one thing is for sure. Rush is 100% right when he says moderating the Republican platform to now all of a sudden want amnesty, or free birth control, or whatever...is totally wrong.

OTHERWISE... Allen West would be a shew in. This is not a racist comment, but if it was just about being black, being more pro-choice, more any other liberal talking point, this would not happen.

The left will destroy its opponents. They are fighting like they have everything to lose. The right does not fight this way. We MUST fight this way. If McConnell and Boehner won't, we must get rid of them.

Enough. I know Obamacare is the "law of the land". But forgive me for thinking that IF we can get enough firebrands in there, we can roll it back. I know some will respond "impossible". But trust me...this is what the liberals have been doing FOR DECADES. They have been pushing and pushing slowly for decades. We must do the same.

I'm with Allen West. I'm not giving up.

It stands to reason that the votes that Allen West will recover are in the same time are votes for the head of the ticket, i.e. for the Republican candidates for the president: it is impossible to imagine that someone will vote for A. West and the incumbent on the same ballot.

Consent of the Governed = Constitutional powers only + a true vote

West fights for both. He takes risks.

Consent of the Governed and God-given rights are absolutely everything we're fighting to get back.

We need principled leaders like West, not coalition managers like McCain, Romney, Boehner, Roberts...

Larchmonter

We have some really good people like West and Mia Love who got blasted by Black voters. So, next time someone race-baits you or your ideas and philosophy, remind them of their own self-destructive voting pattern. Quality Americans like these two Conservative Republicans need to win seats in Congress. I sent money to them. But we have to help them get votes when they run.

West is a proven leader, and we need him in the public spotlight as a model for young men to emulate.

Whenever Allen West speaks, you know you are listening to a real American. A Patriot. Someone who believes in this country. Someone who believes in The Constitution. Not just believes it, but feels that America should live it. That our government, and all of our people, should embrace it, and make it part of our daily lives.

It would be so easy to teach to our children. Why aren't we doing that, instead of what the Left is doing?

Romney would have given us a voucher system to rebuild our educational system. It is a sad thing that we missed the opportunity. But next campaign, let's get control of the White House and make the changes to educating our young people.

A good, decent American, who goes to church every Sunday, is married to his high school sweetheart, who raised a wonderful family, is successful in business, and drinks milk, when he is stressed, lost the election.

He lost the election, to a man we know nothing about, except that he may not have been born here, he never really knew his father, who died by driving into a tree, while drunk.

His mother, by all accounts, hated America, just like her son. He was raised in Indonesia, in a Muslim environment.

My wife is Indonesian. Chinese, actually, but raised in Indonesia. In Indonesia, there are only two types of schools. One, for Indonesian citizens, one for Americans, or those who are not Indonesian. He attended Indonesian school. End of story.

All of the story about being born in Hawaii, is pure bull***t. He was born in Kenya, a fact verified by his Kenyan Grandmother, grew up in Indonesia, and later went to high school in Hawaii, while living with his grandparents.

This man is the greatest fraud, ever perpetrated on the American people. In spite of that fact, he has been elected President, not once, but twice, which illustrates just how stupid the average American is.

Most people believe Obama is the enemy. Really? Think about it for a moment What person in their right mind, would vote for a Communist Muslim, who we knew noting about, could not produce his birth records, nor any of his college transcripts, and who professed openly, that he and his fat wife, both hated America, and grew up believing the hate lies of Jeremiah Johnson, and the mantra of Saul Alinsky?

And he won by a landslide. Not once, but twice. We have found the enemy. The enemy is us.

We are living in a carnival. Allen West is the perfect example of what is happening to this country. He's fighting for his political life in one district of Florida, while Barack Hussein Obama, just committed the greatest voter fraud, ever perpetrated on the American people, and no one even raised an eyebrow! God Help Us.

Florida R's are pretty much all Liberals and gerrymandered West into a heavy D district. Why is West in South FL anyway? West could easily be very big politically in his home State of Georgia. Just wondering... Anyway, send money to help West fight this corruption. The establishment has the State and Local taxpayers' tax money to use against West; it costs the corrupt nothing personally to continue the fight to save their corruption.

if florida is to survive, real conservatives must do whatever is necessary to clean house out and get rid of rinos. Why the hell isn't the rnc helping col. West? Is it true that gov.

Very good point. It appears that Florida has been invaded by weak or RINO republicans. I wonder what it cost George Soros to steal that election in Minnesota for Al Franken and they didn't give up and it went on for a couple of months? West would be welcomed in his home State of Georgia. So whatever happens he is not going away. Although Florida has beaches and beautiful weather Allen West knows how to fight and I for one can appreciate a good fight. Allen West is relentless which is exactly what the republican party needs and is what is needed now!

All the precincts in the swing states reporting 100% for Obummer should also be recounted- no need to recount the entire country- we pretty much know it wouldn't matter in most, but the swings are critical. OH, PA, FL--we know there was widespread fraud in all of them!

Yes, fighting the corrupt establishment is very expensive simply because corruption has taxpayer funds backing them up. Get it, we the taxpayers are funding and fighting on corruption's side in these battles through the corrupted use of our tax $.

Allen West needs donations to his Recount Fund. It's going to take money to fight this unfortunately! He cannot pay for it with campagn funds (which is silly). PLEASE, if you can spare a few dollars, send it to Allen West Recount Fund, PO Box 1108, Stuart, FL 34995. He is a true Patriot Fighter... lets help him fight this together!!

The fact that there is so much blatant corruption going on against such an honorable man is a testimony to his effectiveness and true, conservative convictions. He must REALLY be under their skin - both Democrats AND Republicans.

You know.......your observation that an outstanding leader, patriot, father and citizen like Allen West has become enemy #1 of both the Republican and Democratic Parties, tells us more about the depravity of our political system than hundreds of thousands of hours of political analysis ever could.

Imagine then, how much progress we could making in taking our country back if we could all simply take the time to understand why.

OK. I burst into tears when I heard this. I did not realize how desparately I have wanted someone to stand up and fight!! So many people seem ready to just accept the latest knife in the back of Lady Liberty and move on to deciding who on our side is to blame. I am sending money to Col. West....putting it where my mouth is, so to speak. This is an expensive battle he is waging. Notice the only ones who fight like this are TEA party supported candidates?

Election fraud---what do you expect after generations of ungodly influence---just Enrons? It had to come to election fraud by Communist infiltrators and Muslim terrorists who come here in suits and ties.

This not business as usual. Obama and his cohorts, like Hillary Clinton, want a Communist America. Obama cab=n now be 'nore flexible with Russia' and anti Israel. To allow an Ambassador to seek safety outside an embassy, and plead for more security, and deny it, and have Mr Stevens dragged into the streets, beaten, sodomized and murdered, while U.S. Warhog aircraft was waiting for orders to strafe the terrorists. is traitorous---it's treason of the highest order, at the very top---inside the White House. That's why Bill Clinton campaigned so much to have Obama re-elected, so as to cover up his wife and Obama.

A new election should be called immediately==---no campaigning, just voting booths, strictly supervied by the police , FBI and military, and counted in the openafter each vote. Obama would have lost Romney hands down/ Even the polls were fraudulent.

It has gotten that bad in the good ol' USA, and it must be nipped in the bud NOW, before Obama fixes things to turn all America into a Communist country. We don't need American military trying to bring democracy to muslims who hate our system of government, while the USA is being destroyed by enemies within. The hell with China. The USA saved their skin against the Japanese invaders, so send China a trillions of dollars in an invoice. Wipe out that illegally gotten debt China caused by manipulating their currency. Chaerge all new imports from China thousands of dollars in taxes, and let's lure back the cowardly U>S. manufacturers who sold out their own workers for a crooked communist regime.

China had over a billion people who need products. Let China sell to China, and America to America, jst as it had been done for centuries.

The hell with the so-called one way street 'global' economy, where Americans get the short end of the stick inside their own country.

Obama has awakened a giant. It is US.

The hell with middle east oil and their self imposed 'world prices'...Lets develop North American energy, and set our own prices to suit ourselves.

Iran wants to blow up Saudi oilfields anyway, so the timing couldn't be better.Lets manufacture all those basic, every day products that kept the majority of Americans supporting their families, instead of doing serevice jobs, and even selling drugs to make ends meet.

Let's get back to the Christian God that protected us within our own borders, and will again.

It's our turn to call the shots now, Me sodobamaladen.

They need to recount all of St Lucy county and have someone appointed by the court to do it. Have representatives from both side to be there. We need to support Allen West, he can't use any of the funds he received from his campaign. We need to donate to his recount fund we need this constitutional conservative in the congress. If you can donate a couple dollars please do. Time for us to unite and stand up.
