WA State & County GOP officials,
What is the URL that shows total number of precinct delegates elected, along with Presidential Preference for each delegate elected, that will be going to the next level of county/district conventions?

I see that the current results being produced on your website as well as other websites (CNN, Seattle Times, etc.) are the results based on the precinct sign-in forms and not the delegate forms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Response:
The caucuses were just yesterday. Our two volunteers will spend Monday putting all of these records in order and getting the information to the appropriate places. Thank you for your interest, but do give us a day or two.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My interpretation:
I can't believe they can data enter the sign-in forms and NOT have the delegate forms data entered!

In my precinct alone there were 15 names on the precinct sign-in form, and only 7 names on the delegate form (PCO, 3 delegates, 3 alternates)

So they can have the bigger list, which doesnt count for anything, and not the
smaller list?

Crazy!

Why is it always the republicans side. They always talk about such huuuge turnouts for the democrats and yet it is always the republican side that is delaying results and screwing with everything. It makes no sense to me. The side with way more votes gets counted super fast while the other side just sits there all night even if it was coming in first. Fraud is not the only explanation but it has to be accepted as a reason by now. Everyone keep fighting we are going to do this.

Also to note, this was the reason I worded and sent the email to the county and state GOP:

There are TWO forms when caucusing in WA:
Precinct Sign-in Form
Delegate Form

Note: The numbers they are showing is from the caucus sign-in form that EVERYBODY that attended the caucus had to sign. I know I am preaching to the choir, y'all, on this.

So from my precinct in Snohomish County:
# of attendees: 15
# of McCain Supporters: 2
# of Huckabee Supporters: 10
# of Paul Supporters: 3 (PCO, spouse, myself)
# of nominees: 6 (1 Paul (me), 1 McCain, 4 Huckabee)

Total # of allowed delegates (not counting PCO): 3
Total # of delegates elected (not counting PCO): 3

Delegate:
PCO Delegate - Paul
#1 - Paul (me)
#2 - McCain
#3 - Huckabee

So in this we see that popular vote (doesn’t mean anything):
Huckabee - 66.67% (10 / 15)
Paul - 20% (3 / 15)
McCain - 13.33% (2 / 15)

Delegates elected going to county caucus:
Paul: 2 (50%)
Huckabee: 1 (25%)
McCain: 1 (25%)

So in my precinct Dr. Ron Paul won at 50%:

CNN still doesn't have the county numbers up. We need to try and get answers to why. They even took off Stevens county the only one they were showing all night. Why would they do that? Maybe they were using the wrong data. We must not let this get swept under the rug.

2 volunteers? Maybe they need some help.

None of this makes sense to me. I also find it interesting that Fox news was right about the count being stopped that night, while the GOP in WA didn't seem to inform us of that. It will be like all the other "weird" caucuses and it will stay at 87% for weeks. just wait

This is a very good point. Fox news announced that vote counting would stop. 5 minutes latter after calling the vote counting HQ we were told that wasn't the case. 1 hour later and 5% more counted the vote counting had officially stopped.

Actually, it's not. All they had to enter were the totals from the signin sheets. For the delegates, they have to enter all their contact information.

Who's watching the volunteers?

 

[Hurricane Bruiser]

Maybe they need a few RP volunteers to help.

Also, when you sign the sheet for delegates, there's no entry for 'presidential preference'. the only way to tell is by contacting them or correlating the data with what they wrote on the sign-up sheet. that could take weeks. the media thinks mccain got the majority of delegates, but they will be shocked come the state convention and half the people there are Ron Paul supporters.

I attended the 25th Washington district (Peirce county) caucus and it was just crazy. Hundreds of us were all crammed in one hot Elks lodge dinning hall with about 100 small tables. There were numbers on the tables but in no order. Many precincts like ours sharing a 4 person table with another precinct. My number was 166 and we shared with number 117 go figure. It was crazy. People were yelling "can't hear" many times in the back half of the hall when announcers were giving directions.

We had 11 people show up for our precinct of over 2600 homes. 5 RP, 4 Huck, 1 Mc and 1 undeclared (he was the pco). We had 6 delegate spots to fill and RP got 4 plus 1 alternate and Huck got the other 2 with no other alternates. Really only the RP people wanted to be delegates but the pco really pushed them to participate. The PCO just took a hand vote to elect people and I could have called him to do it right but I figured that getting all our people on mattered more than risking them not getting a majority. It was funny after the PCO pushed the Hucks to become delegates there were 7 for 6 spots and one said that to make so we didn't need to paper vote to drop out. We would have gotten 5 RP spots but one RP lady thought they couldn't be one because of a name change and so she became an alternate.

The official start time was at 1:00pm but there was such a huge turn out that they waited for everyone to get in and so they started around 1:45pm. At the table was a packet for the PCO and in it was the sign-in and delegate sheet.

The precinct next to mine got 5 out of 5 delegates for RP plus the PCO. Now I wish I took my video camera and also should have gone around to the other tables to see their counts.
