Another source for the delegate data is here: http://apps.sos.wv.gov/elections/results/results.aspx?year=2012&eid=8&county=Statewide
(Delegate results all the way at the bottom, candidate preference is not listed so you will have to cross reference with the other link. Data seems to be coming in at different rates for each...)

We wont be winning any WV delegates same with PA. The well know people are all for Romeny and thats who these old people vote for.

We DID win PA delegates.

WV has an extremely old population and we all know how they vote, but it sure doesn't help that Ron has never stopped at the two major colleges (WVU, Marshall) in the state. Aside from the older folks I think WV would be easy to make some inroads in because the state is run by democrats and the republican party stays broke for the most part.

looks like district 2 we have a Paul in the top 3 so far. Second place actually stephanie butcher. Also I noticed there is quite a few leading
that are uncommitted.

Yep!
Only 4 counties in though (on the official WV site which actually is properly reporting the delegate results.)

 

[drummergirl]

just got off the phone with an RPFer in west virginia who is at his county courthouse where they are counting.

He says results will be slow because the ballots are too long for the machine that counts them. He anticipates this same problem will affect several other counties too.

And yes, we were the only people to get the right amount of delegates up on the ballot for each section.

Extremely important, can't be over-emphasized. Romney and Gingrich are running too many delegates and will dilute their delegate tallies.

Santorum actually only has 5 delegates, so even if he holds on to second it's meaningless.

ouch? those voters (along with yourself) will be the ones hurting in, oh, a few years when the country runs itself into the ground because no one in our government has the self control to put away the credit card or the automatic rifles.

You are seeing flipping; Ron Paul was in second place earlier in the count.

Please give it a rest

From what I'm seeing Gingrich and uncommitted seem to be winning most of the delegates. Am I reading that right?

Because it at least wouldn't be Romney

 

[rich34]

It looks like the top vote getters are either current or former politicans. Malony for instance is running for governor, Ireland is former secretary of state. This sucks

 

[Razmear]

We need more delegates who's names start with A's in future elections. Right now Angela Adams is the top vote getter, and she's uncommitted.

 

[Cosakaz]

My last name begins with B so close enough, I suppose. We are actually grouped by commitment on the ballot. For example, a ballot could have had us grouped:

District delegates:
Paul delegates
Romney delegates
Gingrich delegates
Uncommitted delegates
Santorum delegates

State at-large delegates:
Gingrich delegates
Uncommitted delegates
Romney delegates
Paul delegates
Santorum delegates

the order is decided by drawings at the county level. In my county (Harrison), we had the 1st ballot position for the Congressional District delegates, and the 4th ballot position for the State At-large delegates. I believe many of the votes you are seeing coming in now are from early voting.

Looks that way to me too,

BUT

that is with only

18 of 1846 Precincts Reporting - 1%

so I doubt that it is meaningful at this point. Since results come in precinct by precinct, areas with votes that go in a particular way, for any number of reasons, and also happen to report early, will not necessarily be represented in the same proportions as that of the precincts that happen to report later. Fundamentally, precincts that tend to report later are likely to differ demographically and therefore have different voting patterns. This is easily seen in bigger cities which usually report later (in part because they have more votes and precincts to count) and often vote diffferently than rural areas. Now I've done it, exposed why the whole thesis of "vote flipping" is absurd.

48 of 1846:

1 at-large delegate
1 delegate in CD 1

That seems to be from the CSPAN / AP results.

If anyone is bored, they should go through the state results for the delegate election:
http://apps.sos.wv.gov/elections/results/results.aspx?year=2012&eid=8&county=Statewide

(Scroll to the bottom.)

There is a much higher percentage of results in there.

 

[majinkoola]

According to those results, Stephanie Butcher is sort of close in District 2, and Buddy Guthrie in District 1, but it's looking like a goose egg from WV.

Only 3% in yet on the AP results. So that could be absentee and early voting before Grinch dropped out.
