Saw this on facebook...

East Brooke Maine
Ron Paul- 19
Santorum- 7
Romney- 5
Gingrich- 0

Was this the other caucus in Hancock Co.?

 

[carterm]

306 voters.

we need a net gain of 196.

 

[pauliticalfan]

Eastbrook had 2 votes in 08...all for McCain. Those results seem unlikely.

I googled it, and yeah looks like that's in Hancock.

 

[GraniteHills]

Ron now +27 on the day.


Deficit is now 208

208 - [19-5=] 14 = deficit of 194 if the Eastbrook #'s are correct.

Is this right?

Eastbrook is a town in Hancock County, Maine, United States. The population was 370 at the 2000 census.

31 voters is feasible.

holy crap, romney got 5 not 7 according these numbers. yes 194. updated

 

[alucard13mmfmj]

If Maine GOP didnt fix the numbers when they did their "recount"... we would most likely win

The calculation certainly is right. It's the margin over Romney that matters, not the margin of victory.

 

[Edward]

Haha at Gingrich... And why the hell would someone vote for Santorum -.- I wish those 7 votes for Santorum were for Ron.

The wasted vote fallacy?

 

[CTRattlesnake]

was eastbrook part of hancock county that held their caucus this afternoon?

 

[carterm]

if we cut the "lead" to under 100 they HAVE to look at the numbers again.

 

[bbwarfield]

my bet? we miss it by 25 votes by my calculations.... by calculations i mean i actually thought for a second... not Maine GOP calculate

 

[CTRattlesnake]

Ok, didnt see the OP updated.

194 votes makes it somewhat easier

Final count: Paul 163, Romney 80, Santorum 57, Gingrich 4, Undecided 2 #mepolitics

***Re: the "updated" Maine GOP numbers they put out: did those include the missing RP-heavy Waterville votes and the RP-heavy (South?) Portland votes?
