““Just the votes of Washington County would have been enough to put us over the top. This is an outrage. But our campaign is in this race to win, and will stay in it to the very end,” it continued.
It remains to be seen whether the results in Washington County would lean towards Paul’s favor. In addition, only 118 votes were cast in the county in 2008 – not enough to make up the difference between Romney and Paul if a similar number of voters showed up to caucus.
Neither state chair Charlie Webster nor the staffer who wrote the email immediately responded to a request for comment on Thursday.
118 votes for a county sounds much more realistic than 8 votes.[/quote]
The 8 vote total was for the 2008 caucus. That was the number of Paul votes in Washington County, out a total of 113. The total in Waldo county in 2008 was 97 votes for Paul out of 324 total votes. He came in 2nd place behind Romneys 134 votes. He didn’t win either county in 2008.
