The Petraeus Timeline: Will We Ever Again Hear the Complete Truth About Anything?

Posted by Joel Engel on November 12, 2012 21 Comments

Posted by Bryan Jacoutot on November 12, 2012 20 Comments

Under Florida election law, a full recount is triggered when the margin separating the two candidates is 0.5% or less. After a partial recount in St. Lucie's County, it appears that West has fallen just short of that mark. [Emphasis mine] Tea Party favorite Allen West is...
