WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Conservative Republican Rep. Allen West is still fighting for votes two days after Election Day. But now he's doing it in the courtroom.
West is the tea party-idol from South Florida who found himself 2,456 votes behind Democratic rival Patrick Murphy in Tuesday's unofficial tally. But he has cited "disturbing irregularities" at the polls and his campaign is due in a West Palm Beach courtroom on Friday to ask that ballots and voting machines be impounded.
