Recount keeps Romney on top, but new results likely to prolong controversy

[freeforall]

What a cluster****.

The good news is that the takeaway is that it was close race, it's debatable who the winner is, and the Maine GOP was in the tank for Romney... and did their best to obfuscate honest results.

Then we just have to get 33+ people to caucus in Castine on March 3.

Exactly!! And I actually redoing my math. We were down 239, now down 111. That is 128 votes, not 121.

So say using Swann's count -157 + 128 = -29 votes + 4 (double Pairs count correction)= -25. So we are that much closer . Only 25 votes may really separate us. And by all accounts there can be more discrepancies out there...

It looks to me like Webster lied about the spam thing, and that he is a very bad liar.

Hey, hey now. When writing a term paper, when you e-mail the professor, just say it went to their spam filter and auto deleted . Seriously Webster has the worst excuses. Charlie needs to man up and said he done messed up.

It would be great if Paul could win both Maine and Washington State on March 3, heading into Super Tuesday.

They wouldn't have time to reset the machines, though.

Press on! This isn't through.

There is only one way to keep it going. That is filing a suit against the Maine GOP for voter fraud. It is clear they cheated to give Romney a narrow win over Paul, but unless something legal is done about it then they will get away with it.

 

[RickyJ]

How do you give someone 20 votes then ZERO?

They must of "lost" all 20 of Paul's votes there.

They cheated, no doubt about it. The question is what is going to be done about it?

Ron's stack of votes is stored in the trash container for extra security.

It seems as if they are creating enough discrepancies in the next state so you move on from the fraud that occured in the previous states. By the time we get to Super Tuesday the vote checkers will be spread so thin it will be difficult to keep up. Is this becoming part of Romney's nefarious strategy? I ask the question due the disheartening that comes with paying attention.

 

[RPit]

If we can get a paulite to be the state gop chairman that's another superdelegate, press on!!!

 

[SCOTUSman]

-113 votes under the second GOP count.
-68 votes under the first GOP count.
-31 votes under Swann's reality check count.

We need to develop a transparent decentralized online voting method. Like bitcoin. Just imo.

What a cluster****.

Can an individual citizen do this or does it have to be the campaign?

 

[Salvial]

Are the results of the caucuses that happened before Feb 4th available? They're not included right?

 

[Ronulus]

Paul went from 20 to 0? You have to be fucking kidding me. These cheats/liars need to go live under a dictatorship....... oh wait.........

 

[William R]

bump

 

[DerailingDaTrain]

Yeah, and we get called conspiracy theorists for saying the results aren't accurate. Also, what recount? Webster said there wouldn't be a recount because the ballots were thrown away.
