Y'know, this hasn't been called yet... What does the MSM know that we don't?

 

[kahless]

I expected with such low turnout that this movements supporters would be enough to provide a win.

Rachel Maddow opened her show by stating New York was too close to call.

TOO CLOSE TO CALL??????? WHAT SHT IS SHE SMOKING ID LIKE TO TRY SOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Except this movement doesn't show up to polls- only at parties and rallies.

Exit polls.

Uhg. That seems to be the problem doesnt it?

 

[Tom in NYC]

Isn't the important thing to keep Romney under a majority in order to keep proportional delegates? I thought that was the idea in NY.

That's good too, but it is always better to win.

 

[Mckarnin]

Well it sure as heck doesn't help that a lot of RP's supporters stubbornly refuse to switch from Libertarian or Constitution party registration to vote for him.

Keeping him below 50% would be GR8 news.. But even if we can't then we will still get delegates only if we win CDs, but even he's above 50% what are the chances of winning any CD?

Here's the rules:

"
Tuesday 24 April 2012: 92 of 95 of New York's delegates to the Republican National Convention are allocated to presidential contenders in today's New York Presidential Primary.

58 district delegates are bound to presidential contenders based on the primary results in each of the state's 29 congressional districts (using the congressional districts in effect in 2010 per the 2000 census reapportionment). Each congressional district is assigned 2 National Convention delegates. In each district:
If no presidential contender receives 20% or more of the vote, the party will elect 2 delegates without considering the results of the primary.
Otherwise, the candidate receiving the greatest number of votes receives 2 delegates. These delegates are slated by the Presidential candidates prior to the primary.
34 At-Large delegates are bound to presidential contenders "winner-take-most" based on the statewide primary results. These delegates are elected at the state committee meeting.
If a candidate receives more than 50% of the vote, that candidate receives all 34 delegates.
Otherwise, the delegates are distributed proportionally to those candidates receiveing 20% or more of the vote. (Rounding details are not know.)"

One precinct in the Bronx... One vote for Mitt & One Vote for Newt, what a turnout!

 

[digitaldean]

The goal here is for Mitt to not pass over 50%. I really wished it rained like yesterday but oh well.

 

[Titus]

Maddow just called New York for Romney.

 

[kahless]

Google election shows only Gingrich has won 1 delegate.

I don't think we are counting on that. I think Ron was going for CD delegates around where he spoke. Obviously, keeping Romney below 50% would be fantastic, of course.

 

[Maximus]

Is that a super delegate? I have no idea where they'd get that from.

Precinct Results:

My polling site had three precincts combined into one. They stated that 19 people showed up to vote. 19! There were 19 ballots used, 18 were scanned into the machine correctly and one was spoiled. Which means that the ladies made an error. It means that 18 people showed up and one person who to use two ballots because of the spoiled ballet. We are not allowed to view the actual voting ballots or the book with the signatures, we cannot confirm authenticity.

Results:
Romney - 10
Paul - 4
Gingrich - 3
Santorum - 1

I believe this will be pretty close to the actual New York state results.

 

[kahless]

Ron losing to Romney is one thing but to be beat by Gingrich in NY state. If this continues I am not buying it. If that is the case I bet this slow electronic voting results are due to the time it takes to manipulate the data for their preferred result.
