Attorneys for Republican U.S. Rep. Allen West‘s campaign today will ask a judge for a recount of all 37,379 ballots cast during early voting in St. Lucie County in West’s 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 County’s 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.

1. He really thought he could not be defeated.

Two days before the election he went on fox and said disregard all the polls that show the race close because they were all democratic polls meant to scare him. What a joke!

2. And on BradBlog, Brad is asking why he only wants a recount in FL-18 and not the other

two counties.

4. Actually, just St. Lucie County.

And only early and absentee votes.

6. Your right, FL-18 consists of (St. Lucie, Martin, and Palm Beach).

5. Simple...he won in his slices of the other 2 counties...

by 11 votes in Palm Beach Cty and over 10K in Martin Cty.

3. I hope he has

to pay all charges.

7. Unless the recount goes in his favor, he has to pay

At least that is what I understand from the ODIHR pages.

8. I don't have a problem with this

it is a close race, some early voting ballots got recounted while others didn't. Let him have his recount, almost certainly confirm his loss, and then say good bye Allen.

9. Judge rules against West.
