Skip to comments.What the hell is going on in St. Lucie Florida with all this alleged fraud and corruption?
Posted on 11/11/2012 8:36:58 PM PST by GilGil
First of all let us all agree that Allen West is a mans man. He has the courage of a titan and needs to go the distance on this fraud and corruption in St. Lucie County, Florida. Allen Wests courage is what we look for in a real leader one who would be president. This is the kind of leadership we were looking for from Mitt Romney. Why isnt Romney helping West with this alleged scam of an election? He should be helping West uncover what seems to be corruption on a gigantic scale to steal this election from West. Romney lost and he just left and let his troops rot on the battlefield. This is really telling. West on the other hand is amazing. He should have been the one to have run for president. He is demonstrating the mettle required for an endeavor.
We also have to ask where the Republican Party is in all this. They are no where to be found in helping West. Romney cut his losses and abandoned his troops. Boehner and company is too bus getting paddled by President Obama to worry about any help West might need.
Yet there West is in full attack mode. While Romney and Boehner, and lets throw him in too, Senator Mitchell are in full retreat mode trampling all over their troops as they run for cover, Allen West has taken up the American flag and is storming the hill of alleged fraud and corruption that is the Democrat party. If West were to ask for $10 million tomorrow to do a recount, we would all give it to him in 24 hours. All he needs to do is ask. We love his courage and unwavering faith in doing what is right. That is all you need to beat communist socialists.
This fraud and corruption in St. Lucie county has the potential to turn into the poster child for the theme and tone of the 2012 presidential elections which may have indeed been won by whole sale fraud. You know something is very, very wrong when the main stream press is completely silent about what is going on in St. Lucie. More telling is that no one is trying to ridicule West or demean him or go after him in the press. These press types are betraying a guilt that is obvious. What are they afraid they will uncover?
The West team issued the following press release this morning.
Stuart, FL Today West for Congress campaign manager Tim Edson released the following statement in response to the sham recount underway in St. Lucie County this morning:
Late yesterday, the St. Lucie County Board of Elections had agreed to recount all early ballots to address concerns stemming from their acknowledgement of technical errors late on Election Night in the counting of the first three days of early voting, as posted on their website.
However this morning, when observers arrived at the elections office for the 7:00 a.m. recount, they were told by the Supervisor of Elections only the final three days of early voting would be recounted, when in fact the data in question relates to the first three days of voting. During discussions about the recount, the canvassing board repeatedly tried to shoo away observers and prevent them from listening in on discussions. More
A Larry Snowden made the following comment on Wests Facebook page:
What was originally viewed as dangerous incompetence on the part of Gertrude Walker now appears more and more like a willful attempt to steal the election.
It is abundantly obvious that the CountyBoardof Elections in St. Lucie headed by Gertrude Walker may be hiding something very bad about this election. This also came in today from www.allenwestrepublic.com :
St. Lucie County supervisor of elections attempts to steal election. Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker clearly runs most corrupt elections office in the state of Florida. More
Allen West is the leader we thought we had in Mitt Romney but we were wrong. West has the courage and the faith to do what is right. He is also a rock solid leader. We owe it to him to support him in every way. We must get to the bottom of this alleged fraud and corruption that stands to blow the lid off of the best kept secret of the 2012 presidential election. St. Lucie wreaks of really bad potential fraud. There have also been reports inPennsylvaniaandOhiothat several precincts reported that 99% of the vote went to Obama and even in one precinct 100% of the vote went to Obama. Does that sound possible? Or is it that this alleged fraud in St. Lucie is what got President Obama elected all over the swing states.
There must be a volcanic-like swell of support for helping West because here is what was posted on his Facebook page today.
DO NOT DONATE TO ANY ONE SAYING THEY ARE TRYING TO HELP ALLEN WEST. THIS IS A SCAM TO LINE THEIR OWN POCKETS. DO NOT BE FOOLED PLEASE! IF DONATIONS ARE NEEDED IT WILL COME FROM ALLEN WEST FOR CONGRESS at allenwestforcongress.com More
Nothing less than a full transparent recount of the St. Lucie vote will dispel this stench of fraud and deceit looming over the 2012 presidential elections. How can we launch a Chick-fil-a-like movement to support West? That is what we need now. West is going up a crushing opposition, we have to help him if he wants it. How can we start this?
I can almost guarantee fraud in urban Dem-controlled areas. The vote totals alone in Philadelphia are ludicrous. So much so that you might perhaps overlook other areas of PA where it also may have occurred (such as Pittsburgh). Any other areas, too, with a high transient population or immigrants is also highly suspect. Of course, this sort of fraud occurred even in the 19th century. But because for a time, both parties held control of differing major cities (NYC under the Dems; Chicago/Philadelphia under the GOP), shenanigans could cancel each other out. Because virtually every city in the nation is Dem-controlled, they can cook the votes at will, whatever is necessary.
Sometimes, you don't even need individuals committing fraud (i.e. voting multiple times). It's the old saying that it isn't who votes but who counts the votes. Does anyone really believe in this day and age of lazy Democrat folks that they're so civic-minded to turn out at a rate of 100% or more ? You know something is up when they go to extreme lengths to prevent GOP poll watchers in these precincts.
I would say I find it particularly curious that on the face of said returns that Willard just "walks away." I never trusted him (one of the reasons I railed against him on here almost daily for over 6 years) and like McCain, seemed almost like a ringer.
Personally, I expect that they will ignore it. We'll see tomorrow.
Rush has a framed and folded American flag on display in his living room. It was given to him by U.S. military pilots.
So?... After ignoring Obama's eligibility, and **fully** knowing that Obama posted forgeries, falis e-verify, and is using another man's social security number, how can this man even walk past that flag? How can he do that specially since the fraudulent Commander in Chief abandoned an embassy full of Americans to be killed.
If Rush ignores this election fraud throughout the swing states, then personally I am completely DONE with him. That's it! I doubt that I could hear his voice without gagging violently.
That Mitt walked away and failed to defend the rule of law says a lot about his character and what he would have been as president.
And now Im wondering...how long have they been a joke?
I'm wondering the same, Scotswife. I wonder if I'll ever see another non-democRAT president in my lifetime...
There is an epidemic of gutlessness in the GOP (Gutless Old Pussies), especially amongst "leadership." No wonder we always seem to be on the losing end when we don't fight back. You have got to wonder if in private the Democrats express astonishment at what they get away with and that all they have to say is "boo !" (or "racist !") and the GOP wets its pants, cries, and goes and hides in a corner (*cough*Boehner*cough*). Makes me sick. We need more street fighters like Col. West.
I am in full agreement.
I will be listening to the radio talking heads tomorrow. Rush, Hannity, Levin......plus for our elected officials.
Those that keep silent or worse... ridicule and push aside those of us who believe in the fraud, well, I will be through with them.
I know my one set of ears, or one vote (ha ha) or small pocketbook means nothing to all these powerful and/or rich people. But it helps me sleep better at night knowing I know the truth of who these people really are.
A very profound and true statement. I am heartbroken over my realization that it is true. Angry and brokenhearted at the same time.
I want to fight this but am still racking my brain to know how.
Wow! You are on a roll Scotswife.
I pray something comes out of West fighting this fraud.
I believe Secretaries of State...Most of them were handpicked and Soros bought. A few were actually appointed legally.
I remain convinced as I was at 12:30 that evening that Mitt "threw in the towel". He was about to win and his folks could see it was going to be less than the necessary 3% to keep the Rats from stealing Ohio, Va, and Fla and so he laid down. Like I said that night, "At least we didn't have to wait months for him to be a disappointment." The Rats want to Kill West politically and the GOPe has set him up but he ain't going away and they can't afford to "open the books" because they are cooked. In fact, how did the HGOP go from within 20,000 votes of winning and western counties still out to losing Fla by 100,000? They didn't and Zero didn't want it to appear the election was "given" to him so his folks "Manufactured" those votes. Now there is a damn good reason to open the books in West's race and the can't afford to because it will show the fraud that has taken place in favor of Zero.
The "journalists" know the Rats have threatened chaos if their guy loses and it would appear that is why Mitt caved like a 2$ suitcase so they are all mum on fraud because they don't want to be called "racist" and start CWII. This sounds like Sci Fi, I know, but it is the ONLY scenario that fits all the facts we know. Think back, Rove was at the desk out front by himself. What's her name is back with the other dudes and she cuts in to say Ohio goes to Zero and that's it, election over. Rove wasn't "in on it" and so he stammers and stutters and so she takes the cameras down 100 yds of hall while Rove gets briefed. When she comes back Rove is on board. A little reluctantly but what can he do? For the next hour Fox did not show vote counts from Ohio, Fla, or Va. The screen shot in my mind which I will never forget is GOP behind less than 20,000 in FLa with 90% in and closing in fast as western counties started coming in. Va was GOP by 100,000. Ohio, as Rove pointed out was about to go for GOP. Mitt was about to win but not by a whole lot. It would have been 2000 in FLa times three. Mitt didn't have the balls for the fight so he threw in the towel. If someone has a better perception that fits all the facts please enlighten me.
What help would Romney be?
If it isn't by the Tea Party its against America.
We must not forget what the Taxed Enough Already coalition was all about in the first.
TEA or GOP, I'll chose the winner myself and not on any advice from an outside source.
".....Willard has only been for Willard........"
I think you're correct. I think Willard running for President was all about winning one for his personal gipper, his dad who lost the race years before him. The guy was/is an act. His history did not match he the campaigner, just the desire to win.
It should be obvious by now; massive voter fraud.

Voter Fraud by the numbers? Absolutely
Thank you to everyone who is sharing this page! As of Saturday morning, we are getting about 3,000 visitors an hour. You are making a difference!
This one is MUST SEE:
Obama won 100% of the 900,135 votes cast in Cuyahoga County OH! No votes from new registered voters or indies went to Mitt. Voting officials SHOULD BE ARRESTED BY OUR MILITARY FOR SEDITION & PERPETRATING A FRAUD AGAINST ALL OF AMERICA. A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WILL BE FILED against the networks for not telling the truth! view pic.
Summary Photo
Throw out this all-fraud county and Mitt wins Ohio, no question!
Why? A total of 5,364,324 people voted in Ohio. Obama got 2,691,861 votes, while Romney got 2,584,620, a difference of 107,241 votes.
How did Cuyahoga Countys 900,135 votes affect the final result? You do the math.
For Ohio to certify this result would be a crime in and of itself.
Thank you to the Examiner for mentioning us!

Is There Enough Evidence of Voter Fraud To Merit a Recount?
Much more to come! As one of our commenters below said, voter fraud is like cockroaches. You find one and they are likely everywhere. Cuyahoga County, Ohio is obviously not alone!
Here is a petition you can sign at Change.org to request a full recount. I suggest we just focus on the swing states, but it is true that many Congressional and Senate races are also affected, from Allen West to, I believe, Mia Love. Mia was up by 10% the week before the election and lost by 3,000 votes to Matheson in a state that went 73% for Romney. Not likely!

Darin Southam recommends TrueTheVote.org for some pre-election indications of potential voter fraud, but the page understates what actually happened in pretty much every swing state.
And what do you think of this? This was way before the election, but apparently George Soros, who we have already established rigged an election in Hungary and was banned for it AND helped get Obama elected the first time... Ill let you read the headline:
Soros advises Obama to use forceful measures to override the will of the people
I think this goes well beyond the 900+ executive orders that go around Congress, more than three times the executive orders given by all previous US Presidents combined. We saw it in action Tuesday, November 6th!
A Tea Party group has posted this article, with interesting stats and some criticism for Romney for not standing up and doing something about it yet:
Personally I think as the case is strong enough, Mitt will do something. Too much is at stake, and as we just found out, Ohio is definitely Mitts, and Florida, too, just based on fraud in a few counties! Colorado, too!
Keep up the referrals and the sharing, everyone! Thank you SO much for helping America fix an election that has clearly been fixed.
Voter fraud cheapens the votes of the 60 million who picked Mitt to the point of nothingness and gives weight to those who in reality were the minority. If grand theft is defined as any theft over $5,000, what do you call the ONE BILLION times that that is likely to happen AGAIN over the next four years if we do not right this wrong?
Here is to our real President Elect and First Lady, Mitt and Ann Romney.

We can not wait for 2014 and 2016 to regroup and figure out new strategies. By then it will be too late. The Marxist/Muslim usurper will have completed his planned distruction of America. That's what people fail to understand.
We must act NOW.
Start with the election. If we let the Rats get away with this massive voter fraud, we're no better than a bananna republic.
We must keep digging and pounding him every day, in every way we can- phony birth certificate, Benghazi, Fast and Furious, his hidden life, records....
We are FReepers. We must fight!
Those who shrug and accept this atrocity without a fight are not worthy to be called Freepers!
First thing is first. We must make sure Allen West prevails. that can be the poster child for the them of the 2012 elections which was rampant fraud.
I would not be surprised if he GOP is actively working with Dems to thwart Allen West
St Lucie County is not liberal like Palm Beach or the other So Florida counties...so something tells me that West may be sandbagged by the GOP as well
We should not be surprised if it is the GOP. They re-districted West into a more liberal district. And, it is the same GOP that refused to do anything on Obama Birth Certificate/Eligibility....and still refuses to do anything on Benghazi
Sure smells that way!
What our elected officials and talk radio and tv ( Rush, Hannity, Beck,..etc.) do and say about this fraud will determine my confidence in them and the system.
We will see today.
Nice article. But it really, really needs to be edited. It is so bad that it make the entire web site look illiterate.
This would take big money - and big corruption.
How DO you fight that?
The people that are supposed to be the watchdogs are strangely silent.
Who is watching the watchers?
How about votes from "sanctuary cities" are invalid?
Local politicians create a population ineligible to vote and then refuse to implement voter id. Politicians then wield the illegal population as a weapon to extort money from state and federal coffers. A weapon wielded to advance their own interests and to empower themselves as they build their local powerbase, their local empire.
It's time to destroy these local fiefdoms.
Since these cities choose to operate outside the law, to establish a colony of foreign interests harnessed and directed by criminals in public office, then they can not participate. Votes from "sanctuary cities" are void.
Certainly local citizens who are eligible to vote will be enraged.
Good. Very good.
They can take it out on their local politicians. They are the ones who institutionalize crime. They are the ones to blame. The citizens' suffrage rights have been stolen by the local politicians. The crime is on their head.
I think they knew they were going to lose so they made sure they would win. What is going to be done about it? Good lord!
I agree.
Ask Gandhi how he fought it!
I was a big fan of Rush until this Allen West thing happened. His silence is very disappointing. I've stopped listening. I have not missed anything.
I've been wondering how it would go if a significant portion of the country simply refused to dance in the dance.
If we aren't going to have voter ID, poll watchers, paper trails, secure chain of command, and video monitoring of counting - then citizens will simply refuse to participate in the charade.
Somehow I think, though, the powers that be wouldn't really give a rip.
Just what has been done in the past: Burn the fields
Unfortunately, it appears that the freedom robbers are going to push this country into that again!
Me too, I use to listen to him all the time but I turned him after last Thursday's show.
Pilenoidal cyst draft dodger. He thinks of it (flag) as a tribute to his greatness.
1- email protests to Governor Scott demanding St. Lucie recount ALL early votes as promised on the public notice.
BECAUSE: the partial recount had a 5% error rate, much too high to trust the final result.
Leave off all the outrage about the rest of the country, don't insist it is fraud or corruption. Keep it short and sweet. If enough people do this, he has the power to overrule the Supervisor in the public interest, and oversee the recount. Be respectful and sign your name. Venting, threats, accusations and profanity just guarantee your message will be ignored.
That's what West wants- let's give it to him.
2- We can send money to him to help pay for the inevitable legal challenges. Avoid all the pleas from anyone but him. You can contribute here: https://www.allenwestforcongress.com/contribute/
I am pretty confident a recount of all 37000 early votes in St Lucie will lower the margin of victory enough to trigger the complete recount of all 3 counties. All he needs is 260 more votes!
3- If you use Facebook, send messages to state Republican Party Chair Lenny Curry. He has made positive comments in support of West, but he can do a lot more: money, lawyers, pressure. https://www.facebook.com/LennyCurry
Lenny is a CPA- he can count- he understands numbers. A 5% error rate is TOO HIGH.
4- If you live in the Congressional District, contact your elected officials and make the same case. Be reasonable- it is a reasonable argument. They publicly noticed a count of all 37000 and refused to explain the changed decision. The partial count had a 5% error rate, too high not to question the accuracy of the full count. Don't accuse anyone of fraud- blame the equipment. You want to be heard, not dismissed as a flamethrower.
Or we can just rage, or complain, and make accusations, and let him go down in flames. Your choice- I've made mine.
