Allen West (R-Fla.) seeks recount amid growing vote count scandal. Democratic challenger Patrick Murphy has declared victory with an apparent 160,328 votes to West’s 157,872 in Florida’s 18th Congressional district according to Florida Division of Elections.
Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, a volunteer lawyer for the West campaign told a reporter,
I’ve never experienced anything like it. If we raise questions we are reprimanded and threatened to be expelled. We are dealing with so much intimidation it has created a chilling effect. There must be a state recount because we don’t have confidence that this race is being counted accurately and fairly.”
We believe it is critical that a full hand recount of the ballots take place in St. Lucie County. We will continue to fight to ensure every vote is counted properly and fairly, and accordingly will pursue all legal means necessary.”
