I guess there needs to be a distinction. There is voter fraud and there is election fraud. When the state GOP Chair (A known Romney supporter) elects not to count votes from 17 districts that are known to be Paul territory and an entire county that was the only county Paul won in 2008, it is clear the Romney supporter is cheating in an extreme manner.[/quote]
I can’t dispute that maybe there was some intentional manipulation of the process here, but there really is no reason to exaggerate its potential effects. In Washington county in 2008 he got 8 votes. And depending on the source, he either won Waldo county this year by 2 votes or the more official looking thing that I found said he won the county by 13 votes. Neither would have been sufficient to provide a Paul win.
I can’t find any reliable source that indicates he actually won either county in 2008. There’s a post on a Paul blog that looks less than final showing he lost Waldo County. The Washington County numbers seem pretty consistent with him getting 8 votes out of just over 200. The only evidence I can find that says he won either county in 2008 is some guy on Drudge says so. Which means I found nothing.
