Thom Hartmann: Allen West is stealing the election - after the election

[thomhartmann]

Brad Friedman, The Brad Blog joins Thom Hartmann. Though Democrat Patrick Murphy was declared the winner in the race, and is even attending orientation on Capitol Hill - his opponent, freshman Tea Party Congressman Allen West is refusing to concede. Especially now that 800 votes vanished over the weekend when an unsanctioned recount was conducted on electronic voting machines in one county in the district. Those vanished votes allowed West to gain 500 votes on Murphy - bringing the margin between the two candidates very close to just a half-percent, which would trigger an automatic recount. But what happened to those vanished votes? And isn't this more proof we can't trust electronic voting machines?

3. "unsanctioned recount"

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Doesn't this automatically make West's ploy invalid?
