2 more votes for Ron in Georgia

[NC5Paul]

DeKalb County

My boss also voted for him. w00t!

Edit: pic fail...having trouble using tinypic on my phone.

Also, there was barely ANYONE at the polling place maybe 10-12. GET OUT AND VOTE, GEORGIA!

I've read that a candidate must get 20% of the vote in order to be granted national convention delegates in Georgia; is that true?

Man, that sucks if it is true.

I, too, voted for Ron Paul, and hopefully the hub will be doing the same.

You can add two more votes to that list, me and my mother.

There was NO ONE at my polling place. Absolutely no one!

 

[foxtrotterz]

Well, I voted and my wife early voted both for RP. My mother and sister are supposed to go vote and both support Paul. I met several strong supporters while campaigning last Saturday and last night in my precinct and a ton of undecideds. Can't wait to see the results in my precinct tonight!

Are you folks in GA participating in the conventions that choose delegates? Your vote doesn't count if you don't. http://ga4ronpaul.com/Delegate.aspx

Doesn't matter what % we need, if the grinch wins and drops out at a later date all those delegates have the potential to be ours.

Only if people participate in the conventions. http://ga4ronpaul.com/Delegate.aspx

20% Threshold for proportional delegate allocation for the overall State (34 delegates). If someone gets 50% they get 100% of the 34 delegates.

No threshold for the delegate awarded per district. 3 delegates per district (14 districts) with 1st place getting 2 and second getting 1 unless 1st place gets 50% then they get 100% of 3 delegates in that district.

So a district could be 49% to 18% to 17% to 16% and the person with 18% would get one delegate. So mathematically with 4 people in the race, delegates awarded per district is pretty much a 20% threshold with 50% being a winner take all 3 delegates.

5 more votes for Ron Paul in GA. My entire family voted for RP. Too bad pets can't vote.

Man, that sucks if it is true.

1. That only holds for delegates from the state, not the district conventions.
2. Gingrich will likely drop out after today, unbinding many of GA's delegates.

I'm a precinct delegate in GA, going to the county convention on Saturday. Also, I was the only person at the voting place when I voted today.

I voted at 8 this AM and there was one other guy there. He was also a RP supporter. Going to the Atlanta party tonight too. https://ga4ronpaul.com/Event.aspx?ID=420 If you are in/near Atlanta tonight, please come by.

 

[foxtrotterz]

I am pretty sure no one will get any where close to 50% of the vote in Ga. Maybe I am wrong, but I think it is going to be surprisingly close between all 4 of them.

I'm 18. I biked to the polling place, and all my friends who I've converted are in colleges all over the state. I converted my dad, who's voting later, and is a precinct delegate with me.

I'm going too! See you there.

Sure hope you HELP a few people get to the polls before you go party.

At least 5 in Gwinnett Co. today, 4 family members who have already voted, and myself once I get off work!
