Arkansas district convention wins!

[NatePinAR]

On a brighter note.. Arkansas district conventions happening today. 4 districts. 3 delegates/ 3 alternates from each.. In district 2, we won *all three*delegates and 2 out of 3 alternates! Waiting to hear about other districts, but I heard we swept at least one other district, possibly two. One district is being contested somehow. Will update when more is known.

While I was all obsessed with Texas I didn't even realize Arkansas was going on.

Right on! Hope we can get a majority of what is up for grabs today!

Never mind thought you were in district 3. I had posted that we won district 2 but you already know that.

+rep Good to finally hear some good news today!

Keep up the good work! Keep us informed.

The only drama that happened at our district was when the chairman told everyone they should scratch out one of our guys because he didn't have the "backbone" to show up. One lady told him she didn't think that was the right thing to say about someone.

 

[NatePinAR]

Yes, that guy was rude and unprofessional. Was an ignorant comment, and that wasn't the only one. Or it's possible he was knowingly trying to influence some gullible people. Regardless, I'm glad he did not get elected delegate.

*Final results* From what I've heard: In Arkansas, Paul supporters have won 6 out of 12 district delegates and 4 alternates. There may be a couple of alternates competing at the state convention on the 23rd. These numbers are a lot better than anyone expected. Room for improvement IMO, but still excellent results.

Great work guys! Winning 6 out of 12 is wonderful. Keep this post bumped up for the good news and to help push down the 50 or so Rand threads

Woot! So do these advance to state or are these direct to Tampa delegates?

These go straight to Tampa. There will be state convention in a few weeks to allocate the other ~20 delegates.

District 4 went 3/3 for Paul! But I don't believe they got any alternates.
