Bob Etheridge Calling for a Recount

By: Tabitha Hale (Diary)  |  November 3rd, 2010 at 06:19 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

The NC-2 Race, in which Renee Ellmers is poised to take down manhandling Bob “Who’re You” Etheridge, has gotten complicated. Last night, it looked like a clear victory for Ellmers and she claimed victory. The gap tightened, however, and now he wants a recount.

Etheridge is a 6 term incumbent in what was considered a very safe seat for the Democrats. Unfortunately for Bob, it looks bad when you put a college student in a headlock for asking question, and his constituents suddenly became a lot less excited about supporting someone who might attack them.

Help Renee. Recounts are expensive, and she’ll need everything she can to pull this thing off. She’s a fantastic conservative who ran a great race, and has earned this win. She knows where her priorities lie. Watch her speech, which starts at the 7 minute mark, and donate today.

    The dems routinely engage in voter fraud, and have for generations.

    Cheating has been institutionalized among dem attorneys-general.

    Dem pols are funded by billionaire Soros types, who have money to burn. (…not to mention funding the aforementioned attorneys-general election bids in order to commit said voter fraud.)

    Now the republican, after an extremely expensive campaign, must come up with even more cash to defend their victory?…against criminals?

    Essentially, that’s how this goes.

    Let’s not let Elmers get “Frankened”.

    I’m chipping in $100.

    I just heard of a race that found boxes of ballots in a warehouse after the republican had won by a slim majority. The dying San Joachim valley in California Cd 20, the race between entrenched D Jim Costa v newcomer Andy Vidak. Devin Nunes R, (from a neighboring San Joachim district won uncontested), is young and already highly regarded. He has guided Vidak. Nunes was just on Batchelor show and said numbers of R lawyers are coming out to Calif. tomorrow to start on the mess. Calif. has a new system where anyone can have ballots sent to them every year for life, so many ballots obviously end up in an SEIU mail drop. Apparently the “discovered” ballots come from areas that favor Costa. Costa is the one who sold his healthcare vote in return for a tiny bit of water. Costa would have been a likely yes anyway, but received national attention for extending his “decision making process” on Obamacare at a time when Obama needed one vote to pass it. I will give to Ellmers also.

    … we need to tighten up these election laws. This is ridiculous. Yes, count on getting sued by Holder’s DOJ. Let’s rumble.

    It looks to be ‘barely’ less than 1 percent, a 0.88 margin, which is actually over 1600 votes. It seems like a pretty safe margin there, and you would assume that if there are overseas/military ballots still left to count those would add to that margin of victory. So long as everything goes fairly and above board, it doesnt seem there’s anything to worry about here. Hopefully her lawyers will be in place to make sure things go as they’re supposed to, and this win doesn’t get stolen from her.

    It only took Bobby one day to “discover” 450 more votes for himself. Of course, the source of these votes has not yet been released.
