 TRUE THE VOTE WINS IN SETTLEMENT WITH ST. LUCIE COUNTY FL ELECTIONS SUPERVISOR

 

Access to all ballots and registration information has been granted to True the Vote for citizen-led audit of the 2012 contest for Florida's 18th Congressional District

HOUSTON, TX. May 7, 2013 - True the Vote (TTV), the nation's leading voters' rights organization, today announced its settlement with the St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections regarding records inspection rights under federal law and the Florida Constitution. The agreement provides True the Vote access to all ballots, registrations, and other election related data necessary to conduct an audit of a federal election in Florida's 18th congressional district. The audit is unprecedented in that it will be led not by government entities or political parties, but by concerned citizens.

 

"True the Vote  can now begin reconstruction and review of the 18th Congressional District election race between Colonel Allen West and Patrick Murphy," True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht said. "We must stop this scandalous cycle of ignoring failures in our electoral process when the campaigns and cameras go home. Understanding how failures in administration can effect elections, as we saw in St. Lucie County, will help prevent them from occurring in the future. We cannot allow slipshod standards to become pandemic across our country's election processes - citizens can and will stand up in defense of election integrity."  

 

"This settlement grants True the Vote all of the records we originally requested, without any adverse impacts to St. Lucie County taxpayers. The real work toward understanding exactly what happened before, during and after the 2012 18th Congressional District race can finally begin."

 

A key component to the settlement agreement was to permit access to information dating back to January of 2009. Such information will help evaluate efforts to maintain voter rolls, both before and after federal election cycles.

 

"Since 2009 to present, Washington has made clear that it doesn't have any interest in seeing that voter rolls are maintained - we must fully study how that can affect a close congressional race," True the Vote attorney J. Christian Adams said. "This case is unique because it was directly impacted by the Holder Justice Department's attempt to block the State of Florida's efforts to remove ineligible persons from the voter rolls ahead of the 2012 General Election. This settlement will lead my client to answers, finally."

 

The agreement between True the Vote and St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections Gertrude Walker allows for sharing of records that pertain directly to the 2012 contest, in addition to election administration files dating back to January 2009. An abbreviated list of records includes:

  • 2012 voter credit documents;
  • completed voter registration forms;
  • copies of all regular and provisional ballots cast (including provisional notices);
  • documents pertaining to federal list maintenance requirements since 2009 (including felon and non-citizen records);
  • all documentation for those trained as poll and tabulation workers for the 2012 contest.

The settlement came as a result of a lawsuit after requests to inspect election records were not immediately addressed (True the Vote, Inc. v. Gertrude Walker in her official capacity as St. Lucie County Supervisor of Elections, Civil Action (No 2:13cv14046.)). TTV chose to perform a comprehensive audit of the 2012 election and subsequent recount between incumbent Allen West and Patrick Murphy after reports of errors and inaccurate tabulations were admitted to.

 

True the Vote originally filed its complaint in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida - Fort Pierce Division.

  • >>>  THE TIME HAS COME TO EXPOSE VOTER FRAUD IN FLORIDA , CALIFORNIA , PENNSYLVANIA AND         OTHER STATES . THE VOTER TURNOUT FOR SAINT LUCIE COUNTY , FLORIDA WAS 141 % , PROVING FRAUD.

    FOR EVERY 100 REGISTERED VOTERS ~ 141 VOTES WERE REGISTERED . THE ONLY WAY DEMONRATS CAN GET INTO OFFICE IS BY MASSIVE FRAUD AND CHEATING . THAT INCLUDES THE ILLEGAL " OCCUPIER " OF   OUR OVAL OFFICE AND WHITEHOUSE .

  • I hope that this will be only the first of many cases proving voter fraud dictated the elections in both 2008 and 20012 (as well as many others).

    I hope Allen west is found to have won the election as we also know that the present occupant of POTUS lost, if only legal votes had been counted. 

  • I have been working on this since last Nov, been there in Ft. Pierce to observe, and now plan to return for the recount. Nobody in the State seemed to think it was odd that the vote tally translated into 114% turn out; I hop while this flame is white hot some folks in Tallahassee get burned down as well.

  • The other organization finding much voter fraud, too, is Judicial Watch http://www.judicialwatch.org/s=voter+fraud

    This organization had found dead people on the voter rolls, and many other forms of fraud. 

    It seems that the people must push for State laws mandating positive identification to register to vote, and, the living, breathing, warm body that goes with the identification.

  • HOW DO YOU THINK EVIL WINS ( RULES FOR RADICALS ) .
