What Happened in Louisiana Caucuses? |
Newsblog ConnieTalk <http://www.connietalk.com> reported Jan. 27:
"Just what in the world happened in Louisiana? We reported on
Thursday how it was being said that Senator John McCain placed first
in the Louisiana Republican caucus, with Ron Paul a close second, and
Mitt Romney third. But suspiciously, almost a week after the LA
primaries, the Republican Party of Louisiana (LAGOP) has still not
released the official results. And presidential candidate Ron Paul is
ready to cry foul.
"On Friday, the Ron Paul campaign filed a letter with the LAGOP, both
contesting the legitimacy of delegates' credentials, and asserting
mistakes in provisional ballots by the LAGOP (including nearly 500
that could change the outcome of the election), according to a press
release by the Ron Paul campaign.
"'The initial failure of the Louisiana GOP to properly determine who
was and wasn't eligible to vote threw this entire process into
disarray,' says Ron Paul's campaign manager, Lew Moore. 'However,
voter eligibility was just one of many irregularities with the caucus
process.'
"Indeed, the inability of the LAGOP to provide final numbers, as well
as the absence of the Louisiana Republican caucus results in the
media, is quite suspect to us. We'll be calling the press rep for the
LAGOP tomorrow to try and get some answers. Stay tuned!"

The American electoral process is the most absurd process ever
devised.

If they just flipped coins the will of the people would be served more
accurately.
