Related: About this forumAllen West campaign is accusing elections officials of "inconsistent behavior"
Over his dead body!Allen West still refuses to concede. Now his campaign is accusing elections officials of "inconsistent behavior"
BY JILLIAN RAYFIELD
Democrat Patrick Murphy declared victory in Florida after a partial recount found that he has a lead of 2,400 votes. But Allen West still refuses to concede.
The recount took place on Sunday and looked at ballots cast in St. Lucie County via early voting. But the West campaign didnt accept the results, and was outraged that St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker had only recounted three out of eight days worth of early voting ballots.
The Supervisor and the Board continue their attempts to hide the facts and after todays events, their conduct and inconsistent behavior cast even more doubt on the St. Lucie Countys election returns, his campaign said in a statement, WPTV reports.
The elections official results will be certified on November 20.

Obviously, Communists are running the recount and are mad that he called them out.

In which he interprets Congress or Caucus as Communist (literacy not one of his strong suits, obviously) although he could have gone with Conservative or Capitalist. Poor baby.

Then he couldn't accuse them of inconsistent behavior.
