National voting group auditing St. Lucie County, Florida for irregularities and vulnerabilities

The Palm Beach Post reports:  A conservative group plans to examine more than 118,000 ballots and
sift through voter registration records in St. Lucie County, the site of
litigation and tabulating problems that drew national scorn in Democrat
Patrick Murphy’s narrow congressional victory over Republican Allen
West last November.

The group True The Vote says it will send
anywhere from 10 to 50 people to Fort Pierce to look at the ballots and
records under an agreement reached this week with St. Lucie County
Elections Supervisor Gertrude Walker. St. Lucie County accounted for 36
percent of the ballots cast in the congressional District 18 race.


…“This lawsuit has never been about the victor. It’s been about
vulnerabilities, vulnerabilities in the system,” True The Vote attorney
J. Christian Adams said. Among the questions the group hopes to answer,
Adams said, is “Were people voting in the congressional election that
weren’t allowed to vote?”

The records True The Vote plans to
review include registration forms for people who registered after Jan.
1, 2012, notices sent to inactive voters, lists of voters purged after
Jan. 1, 2009, notices sent to possible felons and lists of voters who
were identified by the Florida secretary of state’s office as
potentially non-citizens.
