Obviously, the conservative Republican Congressman ain't conceded the election yet. From WorldNewsDaily: "West, a retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel, said there were many
irregularities coming out of St. Lucie County. He said there undoubtedly
would be more changes should a full recount be done. A statement from West’s office said: 'This limited, partial re-feed –
not conducted pursuant to any statute – uncovered significant errors in
the initial tabulation of votes. Nearly 1,000 votes disappeared from
the county, and neither the Canvassing Board nor the [elections]
supervisor provided any explanation for this selective recount.'"
Florida;s government is sending auditors to St. Lucie County to investigate: "West told Fox News Tuesday night that he would be only satisfied with
the results of the election when the recount was complete, saying it
was unfair to the voters to not investigate 'If someone has a problem with me then it should be taken out against
me,' he said. 'But you should not do it at the expense of the voters.
And that is the most important thing. Look if we do not have integrity
in our election process then we don’t have the exceptionalism as a
constitutional republic, we don’t have a rule of law."
From NewsMax: "'This is not about me. This is not about my opponent,' West said
during a brief telephone interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren. 'This is about the integrity of our electoral process and doing what is
right by the voters. We did not feel that there should be a certification of this until we have that complete recount of early votes,' West added."
