Link to ustream.tv stream of Oklahoma GOP convention

Let me try to explain:

The total # of eligible delegates to vote is 1368 (If I remember well, but it does not matter for this explanation)

There are 77 counties in OK.

Some counties had overvotes totaling 83 votes. Those are guaranteed fraudulent.

What about the remaining counties? It is very likely that those counties also included fraudulent votes, votes flips, etc.

1318 credentialed delegates

573 yeah votes
829 nay votes
1402 total votes

84 more votes that credentialed delegates.

@certainquirk Oklahoma's delegates will be split 14 for Santorum, 13 for Romney, 13 for Gingrich.

At least Mittens wont get 100% is the only positive out of OK right now.
 
Don't count OK out. RP supporters should be able to get this last vote invalidated.
 
Let me be sure I got this straight: They voted on whether or not to allow more than one SLATE to be voted on?

This was not a rhetorical question. If it was, I would have put a "." at the end rather than a "?". Sorry if it's a dumb question, but I wish someone would tell me the answer. Thanks.

Yes. That is my understanding. Voting on the single slate (assembled by the state party committee ?) would be up/down, accept/reject.
 
Well, it looks like the Oklahoma surprise the Romney people warned us about was a success and you all played into their hands with the booing of guest speakers giving them a head count. Great job. Hope you all are taking notes.

In short yes.

Long version-
There is only one slate aproved as of right now. As the rules state this slate is brought up to a up or down vote in order to be passed. If it does not get 51% of the vote then each deleagate has to be voted on. This opens up nominations from the floor. Now what Ron Paul people decided is to amend the rules to allow another slate. This would allow a vote not of up or down on the romney slate but a vote between the two to see who had the majority. It is important since if we cannot pass this to introduce our slate then we do not have the votes to vote down the romney slate. So in order to save time they are doing it this way. If we fail its over.

How would giving them a head count change anything? They still had the numbers.
