I have brought this up in a few other threads claiming voter fraud but have yet to really receive any kind of response. In fact the threads completely died after I posted. Just because Ron Paul has a strong presence on the internet doesn't mean it translates into the real world. There are many people on this site alone who are Ron Paul supporters, but are not from the US. We must also remember that the internet is still mainly the playground of the young. This means that Paul's strong base will most likely be composed of the youth vote. If you check the demographic data Paul's supporters are decidedly in the 18-24 age range. By contrast Romney pulls pretty much equally from everywhere, except the 18-24 demographic where he has almost no support. Now if we check the numbers of from Nevada we find that only 8% of the voters were from the 17-29 age range.
This is the problem every politician whose base is the youth vote faces. They don't vote. Every election the candidates spend tons of money on trying to convince the youth to vote and every time it fails. If a politician could actually get their younger voters out voting it would be a complete game changer, but it looks like not even Ron Paul is capable of doing that. There is no evidence of voter fraud. There is however evidence of Ron Paul's campaign relying on a demographic that has a long history of being apathetic when it comes to voting.

What you were doing was accusing Outkast of being a paid shill because he comes on to every political thread and says the same thing. Ron Paul supporters do the same thing. So using your logic the Ron Paul supporters are also paid shills. Or are the only ones that are paid shills the ones that disagree with you?

When counted out loud in public Ron wins by a landslide.
When counted behind closed doors he loses terribly.....

I'm not sure why you are in this thread arguing with these results to begin with...?
The fact is, they held a mock caucus and the results from it were astronomically different from the "real" one.
What does this suggest exactly? It suggests vote fraud is occuring, and infact, I'm keeping a close eye on it in my Vote Fraud Watch 2012 thread.
