Maine Saturday Open Thread

+83 from Washington county. Demand a recount people, get all the numbers. They've obviously been doctoring the numbers (spam folder, no recount, yet magically numbers change and some 60+ votes from "other" go to Romney, come on.).
 
So, last week was 83%
Romney 2190
Paul 1996
194 difference

Now it's 95%
Romney 2269
Paul 2030
239 Difference

THAT SUCKS!

Will the results be announced tonight?

I know the Republican party of Iowa is going to decide on March 10 whether to includes the results in the final tally, but it doesn't really matter what they decide because we have the Internet... I'm assuming there will be some reporters present who can find out what the results are.

Washington County will be counted.

What is unclear is whether the other post 2/11 caucuses will count.

I assume that the results going forward will be well documented, and announced. The question is, will they count ALL votes? Or just Washington?

Unless Paul gets 240 more than Romney, we don't win one version of the count.

But there's the ALL votes scenario, which includes Hancock today, and, most importantly, CASTINE MARCH 3, which I've had my eye on long before the Washington Caucus was postponed. March 3 has been on that schedule for a long time, and if there was close race, the candidate who was behind could expect a messy initial vote count (people are just not as competent as they used to be. This isn't a Maine specific observation, it just really appears that collectively, we're now missing the next rung. ) and would, and rightly so, I think, insist that all the votes be counted, including Castine, and any other caucuses that could be called between now and March 10. Certain towns do have traditions of March caucuses. Why should their votes not count? If they want to cut the baby down the middle they can determine when the town set the caucus date, and when the town did in fact learn that their date was outside of the straw poll window. If they set the date before they found out, it's one, if they set the date after, it's another. But I'd prefer Count ALL Votes.

Today's gains not quite enough to Paul over the top in Maine. Though note that there are still disputes about vote-counting elsewhere.

It doesn't matter what they count. As long as someone finds out, they report it or post it on the Internet, and the country knows who the real winner is. If there is another caucus on March 3 then I guess we don't find out for another couple weeks. They should have held all the cauci on the same day.

Old Total:
2,269 - Romney
2,032 - Paul

New Total:
2,370 - Romney
2,257 - Paul

We lost by 113.

111 if we want to count the unreported New Portland caucus.

How much did we lose by if we go from OUR corrected numbers we had before the 'recount'? Because they haven't yet explained how Ron lost votes in some counties and so did undecided.
 
I'd like to know how Romney managed to beat Santorum when Santorum was outpolling him in the county 2:1 yesterday.
