Texas Vote Count Doesn´t Add Up!

Texas Vote Count Doesn´t Add Up!

They want us to believe that McCain won Texas in a landslide.

A place where I have never heard anyone mention his name, never seen so much as a bumper sticker, and clearly a state that is covered by Ron Paul signs. Just for the sake of discussion let's say it's possible. What I find seriously hard to believe is this:

* Ron Paul got 70% of the vote in his district for Congress-----37,220 votes.

* In that same district they want us to believe he only got 6,697 votes for president.

* That equates to approximately ONLY 1 in 5 people that voted for him for Congress supported him for President. They can't be serious. Don't lie to me!!

What's worse is that Americans will never care to look into it.

 

[jake]

very, very hard to believe. you would think a large percentage of people voting for him for Congress would also vote for him for President

Plenty of Ron Paul's constituents favor another candidate for President. Believe it.

People vote for who they think will win. It's sad but true.
They thought Paul would win his congressional election, which he did. But they believed that he can't win the Pres election.

 

[Ball]

It doesn't matter anyway. We won where it counts: delegates.

Eyes on the ball, people.

 

[maggiebott]

We can't let this go. This has to be investigated.

 

[Banana]

Besides, that was consistent with polls prior to the election. While fraud are certainly rampant, I don't think it happened here.

Someone also mentioned that several people like Ron Paul but are not part of Revolution, which also explain the disparity.

Not really. 2/3 of delegates come from the vote and 1/3 from the caucuses. I'm an alternate.

 

[kevman657]

YES THEY DO.

The voters are thinking long term. They don't want to send the message that Texas does not support the Republican nominee because it would give the Democrats something to attack on.


It's called politics. They're not going to "waste" their vote for someone who they feel has no chance of winning. And before you start the delegate talk, remember just how much average citizens know about the process...

- Iraq had WMD:s
- Osama Bin Laden was behind 9/11
- Fox is fair and balanced

... How much you have to hear before you open your eyes?

For me the truth was obvious after NH primary. That was a first huge fraud in this so called "elections"

Look, I personally know people who support Ron Paul for Congress but who support another candidate for President (both Huckabee and McCain). I live in the Houston area. How familiar are you with District 18? Its full of people who love war, I assure you.

Ron Paul lost by a few hundred votes in NH. There could have been lots of fraud there. What advantage would the Republicans get by making Ron Paul lose votes in his district? Go ahead, add ALL the votes in his district to his presidential votes. Did he win yet? No, still losing to Mike Huckabee.


The fact is, people feel RP has no chance of winning. So a vote for him (from an undecided voters point of view) would be worthless.


Y'all act like RP has an equal amount of delegates or something. I understand there are other ways to win the nomination, but you don't think the MSM has said 100x the presumed nominee will be Mccain? If Texas chose RP instead, the Democrats could say not even Republicans support Mccain...and they would steal the election.

kj,

We're talking about District #14 here. This is where everyone knows (and most love) RP. Houston is neocon, Bush country.

Never in the history of American politics has there been another instance where a candidate running for two offices had such a disparity from the voters in his efforts for both.

Here is what RON PAUL said today:

"Of course all the spontaneous effort and work and sign making; there is no doubt in the minds of congress who has the most enthusiastic supporters. It would be nice if this translated into a much higher percentage. To some degree this is a little disappointing, but there are different explanations for that. The type of credibility the front runners get from the media has something to do with it. Sometimes I wonder about the counting of the votes."

Didn’t anybody notice this?

It is now 24 hours after the polls closed in Texas. In 21 counties, with 100% of precincts reporting, nobody voted in the Republican presidential primary. In three counties, with 100% of precincts reporting, nobody voted in the Democratic presidential primary.

In the 21 counties with no Republican voters, there were 87,919 registered voters, and 36,239 ballots cast, all of them Democratic.

In the three counties with no Democratic voters, there were 5,212 registered voters, and 1,865 ballots cast, all of them Republican.

In Maverick County, all 9,661 ballots cast were Democratic.
In Hansford County, all 1,235 ballots cast were Republican.

kevman,

You "K" guys need to get a grip on reality. There is no way a reasonable person is going to buy the notion that Ron Paul got 70% of the people in his own district to vote for him, but only 12-13% to vote for him twice. No way...

You are asking us to believe that RP got only 62,000 votes (a miserable 4.1%) for President in the rest of a fiercely independence-minded state. That would be if not his worst performance, surely close to it, in his own home state since the race began. And this is with three guys running, not eight.

Heck, from everything I read and saw, he had half that 62,000 within the Austin City limits alone!

Let's cut the apologism for TPTB here please.

In Ron Paul's congressional district... 37,220 of his fanatical supporters showed up to re-elect him for congress....


but only 9047 pulled the lever for him to be our next President.

Thanks JanusFIN,

If true, this is a first in the 400+ years of American electoral history.

We need to create a safeguard against vote fraud. (We need to bust the NeoCons on the voter fraud issue) The R.P. voters should sign an affidavit stating that they voted for him. I believe I recently saw a site which was pushing for this idea. Imagine if we had 30000 people who had signed a notarized statement, saying that they voted for R.P. in the Presidential election, but only 6000 were admitted to by the GOP vote counters, the Party would fall into chaos.

We can't give up on this issue. The voter fraud issue must be brought out in the open.
