The Challenged Delegates​

Once again, the GOP is changing the rules, keeping the challenged Maine delegates in a state of uncertainty.

Maine Republicans Peter Cianchette, Chairman of the Maine Mitt Romney Campaign, and defeated former National Committeewoman Jan Martens Staples, issued a challenge to the Republican National Committee against the elected delegation last month.

Cianchette and Staples claim that issues with procedure, incorrect credentialing, and no quorum allowed for the delegation to be elected illegally.

Maine has 21 delegates with seats at risk, all Ron Paul supporters. The challenge is not supported by the majority of GOP leadership in Maine.

Challenges are handled by the Committee on Contests, who are expected to rule either in favor or against the challenge, according to RNC rules.

No evidence of fraud, ballot tampering, or cheating has been found in this case, so by National GOP rules, the delegation should be seated.

However, the Committee on Contests has failed to issue a ruling, instead changing the rules to allow the challengers a second chance to prove their case against the Maine delegation. This is a rules change that has a large impact.

Then they'll change the rule back after this thing is 'resolved'. Such corruption.

You think the rules are corrupt now? Just wait until 2016. The r3volution caught them sleeping this time. If any believe that this is an uphill fight now just wait. When the cameras shut down after the election that is when the real dirty dealing will begin to make sure that the advances made don't happen again.
