North Dakota currently voting for delegates

[parocks]

The people did not know who to vote for, so the votes went scattered. Romney's people knew who to vote for is my bet. FYI, in the future, we should have prepared lists in each scenario. One if Santorum flips, one if Gingrich flips and one if we are alone.

Where did you see / hear this? Link?

This reminds me of something I saw in another states' thread: importance of having a printer and computer inside the caucus (and lots of paper!) to print up slates to distribute. I don't want to second-guess the participants & RP leaders, but I can't help but think that having such might have improved the result. This is bumming me out, much as the original caucus night in ND did. I did a lot of calling of identified RP supporters as part of the "Grassroots for Liberty" group and based on that was surprised that we didn't win the straw poll. There seemed to be a lot of enthusasm on the ground and Ron made an appearance at the Fargo pooled caucus site, to a huge crowd.

That sure would suck if a lack of a printer caused this. At minimum, a sheet of Ron Paul delegates should exist in quantity before the caucus statrts.

I would suspect that we just didn't have the numbers.

I was at this convention yesterday and will be there for the rest of it today. We had a printer and we did have an alternate slate put together that was distributed to people at the caucus for them to write in on the ballot. Problem was, there were either too many people who just wanted to rubber stamp the establishment slate, not enough people actually got the lists, or not enough people got the lists that understood what was actually happening. This list was made to garner the support of the Santorum people since there simply were not enough Paul people at the convention. Unfortunately, it was made too close to the convention so there wasn't ample time to figure out all the Santorum delegates in order to properly get it to all of them.

It was disgusting how many of the convention goers themselves just wanted to go about business as usual. I will say that this was way better than in 2008. At that convention no one even questioned anything. Yesterday, I think many people's eyes were opened or at the very least they realized that something may not be right.

Anyone have an update on this?

Given that the pre-selected slate won, I'm fairly sure that the delegate count went
20 Romney
6 Santorum
2 Paul

I'm inferring it. Most Ron Paul people are logical, so are Rick Santorum's. If we had a slate or system, our and probably Rick's people would have followed it and Romney would not have won by such a huge margin. Also, given the fact people could not see, they would not know who was who. The camps probably voted for their own and guessed on everybody elses.

ETA: I saw about the post about the printer now. Did we actually get those to Rick's people?

Hard to believe that Ron Paul got more delegates from Oklahoma than from North Dakota yesterday (3>2)...

What do we know about this guy?

Welcome to my new campaign twitter account! I look forward to helping keep North Dakota moving forward!

That a true liberty candidate is in the same race in District 42.

There are 3 candidates, you pick 2. Peterson is the only liberty candidate. The other two are Romneyite College Republicans that supported establishment-pushed candidates at the convention, included the defeated Shane Goettle, who lost to Brian Kalk (not a pure liberty candidate, but better than some) largely because of a strong push for Kalk from Ron Paul delegates.

Long story short, support/fund/like on facebook/etc. Mike Peterson -- not Schreiner.

No, that is the number going to the national convention.
