Allen West, Patrick Murphy District 18 race results: Murphy declares himself the winner
Source: WPTV
In a district that leans Republican by 2 percentage points, Jupiter Democrat Patrick Murphy should thank St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties' voters for helping him knock off U.S. Rep. Allen West .
Only consistently red Martin County performed up to its billing for West.
By 6 a.m., with 100 percent of precincts reporting according to Politico.com, a winner still had not been officially declared. Murphy garnered 160,328 votes to West's 157,872. That's a difference of 2,456. Percentage-wise, that's 50.4 percent to 49.6 percent.
West, who stormed into Congress on the 2010 Tea Party wave, hasn't conceded the race yet. . .

(53,056 posts)West refuses to concede, and it took Romney ages to concede last night. They've lived in the right-wing bubble for so long they can't face reality.

(1,560 posts)West is a fucking war criminal. Its a disgrace that he was in the US congress to begin with, but thankfully the voters rectified that mistake. Sayonara, asshole.
