(s)Elections See other (s)Elections Articles Title: Maine vote fraud official Jeffrey Phelps Maine It is no longer disputable. In almost every state thus far in the 2012 race for the Republican nomination, vote fraud and its instigators have viciously stolen the innocence from the American people, as the voters in the State of Maine become the latest to be hijacked by the establishment and its army of pro-status quo minions. The day of the Maine Caucus, Feb. 11, witnessed another round of official misconduct and wrongdoing, preceding a week of chaos while Maines Republican Party leaders attend to their new positions in government
serving the American people by guiding elections and their results via miscounting and excluding votes, ignoring entire counties and precincts, postponing specific precinct caucusing entirely, and dictating which counties and precincts will and will not eventually count. As democracy openly dies in front of anyone who has the nerve to watch, the voters of Maine have now unwittingly joined a lengthening parade of states that have fallen victim to elite funded election hijacking, attempting to insure the perpetuation of an agenda that a growing number of alarmed Americans are slowly and painfully becoming privy to. No longer do the vast majority of people simply fall prey to the latest establishment media rhetorical whim, and now major mainstream publications have been forced to openly admit the presence of an emerging major nation-wide vote fraud scandal, the likes of which the people of America may have never seen before. Officials in state after caucus state have been caught stealing the elections for the establishments favorite candidates and has either admitted vote fraud has taken place in their state and/or is simply stepping down as a result of circumstances that have thrust a nation-wide epidemic of vote fraud into the spotlight. During this rash of unethical action rampaging through the country, that spotlight has recently been aimed at state caucuses however, as obvious fraud has taken place throughout the caucus states especially, to the point at which even said media has reluctantly had to talk about it and is now forced to actually admit that its happening. This time its Maines turn, as party officials there also started realizing the humiliating realty that Ron Paul was again looking to upset the remaining field of pro-establishment candidates. Therefore, they too decided to attempt pulling another fast one on the American people, desperately trying to avoid Romney being defeated for the 4th state in a row. As fate would have it, as was the case in the other caucus states that were openly hijacked for the very same reasons, officials there also realized the difficulty in simply making real votes disappear, instead deciding to postpone the finale of the caucus altogether, desperately attempting to control the election, by any means necessary. In a humiliating attempt to excuse away the reasons for the extremely odd turn of events, party officials used the threat of a snow storm to call off the voting in Washington County, telling the voters of Maine and the people of the US that they will have to wait for another week to find out who won. Killing two birds with one stone, this move also served to thwart another shot at a guaranteed public Ron Paul campaign surge. Paul's campaign, which invested heavily in the Maine caucus, was furious and admonished state GOP officials for cancelling the Washington county caucus because of a snowstorm. Campaign manager John Tate blasted the move in an e-mail to supporters, writing: "In Washington County -- where Ron Paul was incredibly strong -- the caucus was delayed until the following week just so the votes wouldn't be reported by the national media, purposely killing any momentum we would have had by the win. Washington Countys votes would have put Paul over the top, claimed Tate. The GOP establishment, and their pals in the national media, will do anything to silence our message of liberty, he said. "That's right. A prediction of 3-4 inches--that turned into nothing more than a dusting--was enough for a local GOP official to postpone the caucuses just so the results wouldn't be reported tonight," he wrote. "This is MAINE we're talking about. The GIRL SCOUTS had an event today in Washington County that wasn't cancelled!" he exclaimed. Despite all that, at a gathering in Portland on, what was supposed to be, caucus finale eve, state Republican Chairman Charlie Webster announced Romney had won the caucus with 2,190 votes, or 39 percent, compared to 1,996 about 36 percent for Ron Paul, the only other candidate to aggressively compete in the state. Rick Santorum received 989 votes and Newt Gingrich won 349, but neither actively campaigned there. Other candidates drew 61 votes. Furthermore, the results published by the Maine GOP had no votes recorded from another 200 cities and towns. Some of the smaller locales were not scheduled to hold caucuses, though many others did. The totals, however, only reflected about 84 percent of the states precincts. Washington County Republicans were angered their votes weren't counted after their caucus was postponed because of the weak excuse of a potential snowstorm. Some caucuses decided not to participate in this poll and will caucus after this announcement, Webster said. Their results will not be factored in. The absent votes will not be factored into this announcement after the fact. County Chairman Chris Gardner said the state party should include the caucus tally in the final results. The Republican State Committee, however, will consider the request next month. Pressure had been building throughout the week on the state GOP leadership to recount the votes. Chairman Charles Webster had told the Portland Press Herald on Wednesday that he did not want to do so until the state committee met next month. Webster, however, insisted that any caucus results that came in after that day wouldnt be counted, no matter how close the vote. That decision kicked off protests, mostly from Mr. Pauls supporters, about the caucuss byzantine rules. State party officials were forced to rescind the original plan, eventually saying that all votes will be counted. The final results, however, will not be announced until March 10, after all towns have voted and reported their results. The growing list of impossible coincidences, there are also a couple of ironies here, however. One is that jurisdictions had two and a half months in which to hold their contests. The second is that the vote is nonbinding: caucus-goers choose delegates to a state convention that chooses the state's 24 delegates, so the presidential result is basically just a straw poll of attendees. But the tally has some significance. In this case, it deprived Paul of a win and helped Romney stanch the narrative of four consecutive losses. Even though the caucus is nonbinding, voters in Washington County charged that they were being disenfranchised, and since the state party portrays the results as meaningful, it seems like they've got a pretty good point. It wasnt until days of public scrutiny, an outcry by the Paul Campaign and multitudes of Paul supporters, including threats of a public investigation that forced the media and state GOP officials to admit that all votes should be counted and all voices should be heard, forcing the party to allow all the caucuses to occur and all the votes to count. The state's GOP chairman Charles Webster then released a statement Friday announcing the party was working "diligently to contact town chairmen throughout Maine" to independently verify the results from each of the counties' caucuses. The following day, Webster came up with more excuses for the shocking week of events after Washington County caucus-goers were finally able to cast their votes, telling Politico that the state party made clerical errors during vote tabulation Saturday, and that some E-mailed results filtered into a spam folder. In Washington County, 306 people gathered to vote on Saturday, which the countys Republican chairman, Chris Gardner, said was roughly triple the number who gathered in 2008. After a week of controversy over being initially left out of the tally in Maines Republican caucuses, residents of Washington County came out in high numbers on Saturday, and gave Ron Paul a majority of their votes. But the margin of victory was not enough to propel Mr. Paul ahead of Mitt Romney, who still somehow magically leads the state count. Many voters said they were compelled to come after they were told their county and votes wouldnt count. We wanted to show that we could make a difference, that we could sway the way the state goes, said Laurel Beal, a Ron Paul supporter who attended the three-hour caucus with her 9-year-old son, Eli. It was a long wait, but we did pretty well. After much public pressure, Maines GOP establishment did finally release some kind of final results, showing Romney still holding a 156-vote lead over Paul in statewide totals. So-called, New official results show Paul received 163 votes in Saturday's Washington County caucus, where Republicans from more than two dozen towns gathered to cast their votes. Mr. Romney got only 80 votes. Rick Santorum received 57 votes, and Newt Gingrich, 4. Two people voted for other candidates. But the real bottom line is this: The presidential preference poll held at Maine caucuses does not matter. It has no influence on the allocation of Maines 24 delegates to the GOP convention in Tampa, Fla. What did matter at Maines caucuses was the second phase of the action selection of delegates to the state GOP convention, which in turn will allocate those precious 24 national votes. And the Paul camp may have dominated this process. The Paul camp planned this weve called it their secret ninja caucus strategy. While theyre complaining about the preference poll, theyre also telling their supporters that their delegate strategy means they may win the Pine Tree State in the end. We are confident that we will control the Maine delegation for the convention in August, said Pauls national campaign chairman Jesse Benton in a statement Sunday. Maines open vote fraud situation mirrors both Nevada and Iowas Caucus circus almost identically. Iowas caucus wasnt the first election hijacking of the 2012 election season, however. Prior to the very first election of the 2012 Presidential campaign season, there were reports of unethical shenanigans, even before the total mayhem that ended up being the Iowa Caucuses, where the people of the US still have yet to find out the results of, at least, 8 precincts, according to their own official Caucus website. Results, mind you, that very well could have changed the entire outcome of the race for the Republican nomination, had they been reported accurately and timely. The establishment couldnt wait to start fudging the numbers and manipulating the process, however, even before the process officially began. Some may remember Michelle Bachmann literally buying the 6000 votes needed to barely squeak out a victory over Ron Paul in the Iowa Straw poll back in Aug., being the first official act taken by the occupied government to keep any momentum away from the Ron Paul campaign for the 2012 Republican nomination, something theyve continued to do since.
