Will attempt to confirm MT @rarohla: The latest official MEGOP town results double count Paris as South Paris. #mepolitics

Does anyone know what those numbers are?

I just posted that twice, but I didn't start a new thread, which might get more responses.

Very well might be.

Both have the exact same count:

10 Romney, 6 Paul, 1 Santorum in both Paris and South Paris.

If they did double count, we would close the gap by four votes.

Oops, sorry. Missed that. I just found out though... Romney 10, Ron Paul 6.

Results according to the new official count:

Why are there still so many zeros? Did absolutely no one actually show up for those? Or are they in the spam folders awaiting modification?

My post in another topic on the double count...

Just looked at the "new" GOP tallies.

Paris 10 Mitt, 6 Ron, 1 Santorum
New Paris, 10 Mitt, 6 Ron, 1 Santorum

Conclusion: Very unlikely...they gamed the new numbers. If anyone has these numbers in Excel format, they should sort by vote totals for Romney and see how many "dupes" there are perhaps - and if everyone else has the same duplicates?
