Allen west x2

So the rethugs have taken over the SunSentinel poll and now Allen west is 87% a courageous fighter. They've gotten 17,000 people to vote! This guy is getting a recount thanks to Rick Scott even though he doesn't deserve one under state law. My state just seems to not be able to get it right when there's a republican governor involved. The Sec of State's office (of course) recommended the recount to the canvassing board despite 2 judges denying it.

Here's the poll again:

I seem to remember Al Franken's margin increasing, after the long, drawn out re-count process. But, I really believe that if it happens, here, West still won't concede. He is crazy.

but under state law, he did not meet the threshold for even that. The political canvassing board has stepped in and forced the recount of early votes.
