No what we are seeing is dowright fraud. The system is broken. Right now all we can only hope for is close to perfect until they revamp it. At least we are getting a recount for now. But that is just a bandaid. I don't think we have any choice but to be satisfied with this bandaid. For now... Since the only way to do it right is to revamp things and do the caucus over.
And to be honest, all I ever see are mostly Ron Paul supporters. Something I have never seen before. Usually the folks around me are split. And the more fraud there is, the more RP supporters will come out and vote. And the more difficult it will be for the election fraud to not be noticed. I haven't voted in over a decade due to disgust. But you will be seeing me on election day if Ron Paul is on the ballot.

I have seen no evidence given of downright fraud.
I have seen many examples of what is within the margin of error that looks like basic human errors.
If you have hard evidence of downright fraud...please show me this.
And one simple question for any Ron Paul supporter. In your personal opinion, what percentage of the voting population do you think supports Ron Paul.

You are really not that ignorant are you? The voting system works eh? Only honest mistakes. Unbelievable... well actually I can believe it because your devoted to bashing RP supporters.
I am very open minded, but your posts do not constructively challenge my views. Do you have any sensible reason for me to question RP to the point where he wouldn't be the best candidate?

Show me proof that it is more than human error.
If you can't do that...then I don't believe I am the one being ignorant. I am using the available data and known facts.
If you think it is blatant fraud...show me some proof.
You should use more than facts to develop an opinion
I am not calling you ignorant...only said that you can't be ignorant enough to truly BELIEVE that human error is 100% responsible for the discrepancies. Facts aside do you honestly believe that?

WHAT? No thanks...I'll stick to facts.

Well facts aside...I think Romney is an alien...but I'm not sure what good putting facts aside does us.
I have seen no evidence of anything but human error. Everything so far that has been uncovered doens't change the results, and isn't on a large scale.
You feel Ron Paul is a huge threat to Obama. The facts point clearly to this. You spend countless hours here attempting to discredit Ron Paul and his supporters. We agree Ron Paul is a huge threat to Obama. In fact he is the only candidate that can beat Obama. Go Ron Paul!

I'd like an answer for this question as well... I don't see any from Paulers. I wonder why.
But overall i´d say it is probably between 15-20% of each state

If I wanted Obama to have an easy re-election...Ron Paul is my second choice...Michelle Bachmann was my first.
But keep on telling yourself that...if that makes his poor performance more acceptable that way...then you go ahead and tell yourself that.
But just for giggles...please show me some data that proves Ron Paul is a huge threat to Obama.edit on 18-2-2012 by OutKast Searcher because: (no reason given)

So you have no proof for your claims???
Can't say I'm surprised.
EAST MACHIAS – Ron Paul won Washington County and Hancock County's much-anticipated caucuses today, but not by enough to overturn Mitt Romney's controversial victory in Maine.
An announced attendance of 306 voters crammed into the cafeteria at Washington Academy in Washington County this morning, a week after the original caucus had been postponed due to snow.
Paul won today's contest easily with 167 votes, compared to Romney's 86, Santorum's 59, Gingrich's five. Two voters were listed as "other".
He also won Hancock County's caucus, nabbing 41 votes compared to Romney's 16.
But recounted statewide totals released by the Republican Party late Friday showed Romney led Paul by 239 votes, which means even with today's victories, Paul still lost by 133 votes, according to the state GOP.
But the vote tallies were revised enough in other towns to add to Romney's lead, according to the new data.
In Limington, Paul originally received 20 votes. But after the recount, Paul received zero votes.
In Portland, Paul originally beat Romney 106-91. But after the recount, Romney beat Paul 106-91.
In Bar Harbor, the GOP originally said 22 people voted. But after the recount, it said 27 voted and the five extra votes went to Romney.
In Trenton, the GOP originally said 15 people voted. But after the recount, it said 20 voted and all five extra votes went to Romney.
Likely adding fuel to the flames, Webster said Friday night some towns votes still weren't included in the recount, if they voted after 5 p.m. on Feb. 11 or if he couldn't get in touch with them.
Late Friday, a town-by-town tally of the recount still showed some towns with zero votes.
