West for Congress is still demanding answers...
STILL WAITING FOR ANSWERS IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY
Final vote count grinds to a halt as Supervisor huddles with lawyers
Stuart,
FL - West for Congress campaign manager Tim Edson issued the following
statement regarding the disarray in the St. Lucie County Board of
Elections offices today:
"Our
campaign is awaiting the results of the final vote counts of military
ballots in St. Lucie County, but the process has completely ground to a
halt as Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker huddles behind closed
doors with her key staff and county attorney. Three days later, we are
still awaiting basic answers to basic questions.
West
for Congress is still demanding answers to a series of questions
regarding the claimed "malfunction" of memory cards used in the optical
scanners in the first three days of early voting, as well as
discrepancies in the numbers of ballots cast compared to how many voters
voted, but no response has been forthcoming.
It
is just curious that all of a sudden at 12:00 a.m on Wednesday morning,
the county decided to re-run a number of early voting ballots, taking
West's tally from up 1,700 vs. Murphy to down 2,400. A key question
that needs to be answered is, does the poll book count match the votes
cast?
The
fact that Walker has been huddling behind closed doors with her
attorney, rather than completing the vote count, is disconcerting to say
the least. If you have nothing to hide, you don't hide."
