Don't forget MAINE!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maine_Republican_caucuses,_2012#Status_of_caucuses _held_after_February_11

Maine Senate President Kevin Raye stated that the final tally would be updated to include the results from Washington County, but that the State Committee would vote on March 10 to determine if the other towns who voluntarily held their caucuses after the February 11 deadline would be included.[16]

So my question is, what were the results!? The results from Hancock county have yet to be released! I've searched around and there is no talk about this anywhere.

http://www.hancockgop.org/

The AP (http://www.google.com/elections/ed/us/results/2012/gop-primary/me) is still not reporting the updated results when it should read 37.97% (Romney) vs 36.13% (Paul) after the inclusion of Washington County which the official Maine GOP has posted (http://www.mainegop.com/2012/02/maine-republican-party-releases-presidential-preference-updated-results/).

With less than a 2% difference between Romney and Paul, this is the closest we are going to get to an outright state victory in terms of total votes and we still don't know...

After this election cycle I'm convinced it's all a fraud.

Who won Maine?

Only The Shadow knows...

Is it true that if the Maine GOP didnt do those last minute vote flips during the quote-unquote "recount" that nobody asked for AND added up the new numbers from the uncounted counties, that Paul would be up by 8 votes? This is what my buddy says but Im not sure if its true, as I admit I didnt look at it as well as some really smart people in the Liberty Movement.... Please let me know. Thanks!

I'd be interested in an update from Maine. Is there someone in Maine (a bit more clout that way) who could call the state GOP and request the updated results?
Even if nothing comes of it I think it's important to have documentation of how it all played out esp. if the GOP just dismissed the right of whole areas to vote (not just vote when the press was watching but be counted at all)

No, Romney won. There was someone here with a theory that every error should be considered a vote for Ron Paul, and using that logic, Ron Paul won. But that wasn't the case.

Not counting Castine (which apparently no one has the answer for) it's either Romney about 160 ahead (just Washington) or Romney about 113 ahead (counting post 2/11 Hancock).

From what I understand, Castine only had like a dozen people show up, so that result should not make any significant difference.

This is correct. Hancock GOP site has the results from Castine:
2 Santorum
3 Paul
11 Romney
1 Gingrich

So despite the easily fraudulent margin you're gonna state that as fact?

Ok. Yeah, there was no huge effort at all after Washington Co 2/18. Castine would be seen as Romney territory. The upscale part of Hancock, with Bar Harbor, Blue Hill. Doesn't surprise. That makes it about Romney 120.

Yeah. I'm in Maine. If you want, you can look through posts here, and notice that I found a lot of the errors in the first place. Not that they were hard to find, but I did spend hours looking over the first results sheet. Search for Subject "Where's Waldo", the day the results were released.

There were a lot of errors. And the errors were fixed. There was an issue in Somerset County - New Portland - 2 votes for Ron Paul that might or might not have been counted.

But there are no open issues that anyone knows about. Depending on whether the post 2/11 caucuses are counted, Romney won by around 160 or 120.

The official campaign has long stopped caring about the straw poll results and is focusing on the convention in May, training delegates, etc.

it's still worth asking about the meeting
