In maine standing in line with a few hundred Rp supporters

So, will the next stage be for the Romney people to turn the lights off, and try to break quorum?

They should have just done a written vote count from the start, having seen how close the Secretary vote was. That would have saved a lot of time.

What's happening with the chair?

no, they will go straight to tazers and pepper spray.

$%^&^^& gopers. I should have left for work an hour ago. This is driving me nucking futs.

A FB friend of mine is reporting RP won 1118-1114. Is this old information?

As of this moment, that is the current count. They were trying to get a written recount, but they are currently in recess for a lunch break. I'm still unclear for sure what happened right before the break, because the quality of the audio on the live stream was hard to discern.

Still in recount hell. We won the last vote by a slim 4-vote margin, 1118 to 1114.

Well, with this close of a result, everyone whose worked on Maine at all should give themselves a big pat on the back, because their work was essential.

 

[tremendoustie]

What, are they going to keep counting until they get the result they want?

You expected them to go away quietly?

 

[Dianne]

We do have to be careful. They could let us win the chair with everything being this close, encourage us to leave, then start winning every vote.

ETA: Likely not but a recount may be happening. Anyone who loses by four votes with so many SHOULD ask for a recount. Can't blame Mitt here.

Well the spread was greater for our guy on the first vote.

I can hope ...

Who's doing the counting? Is it transparent?

Mitt's team will come back from lunch with 5 more people they paid off the street and put an end to all of this.

Someone earlier said the RP campaign is supervising the vote. What that means exactly, I have no idea.

that is my concern as well. How did they get 26 more for the last vote? All they need to do is 'persuade' 5 people.

Interesting we have two Brents as chairs...Brent Stafford and Brent Tweed.

They're getting awfully clumsy as they get increasingly desperate.

May the force be with you

May the forth be with you was yesterday. Today's the fifth.

Terrible.

Not without an elected chair. Charlie's in charge.
