THE PEOPLE WIN - MAINE TO RECOUNT ALL VOTES

Once again, the power of the internet and an irate minority proves victorious. If it wasn’t for our outrage and ability to spread the word across the internet about the Romney/GOP Establishment trying to steal the Maine caucus, this would not be happening. You the people won. We stopped SOPA and PIPA. We are winning some battles, but it is going to be a long war.

Maine GOP recounting caucus votes
AUGUSTA — The Maine Republican Party is recounting the results of its presidential caucuses and may add the votes to be cast in Washington County this weekend to the official totals, its chairman said Thursday.

Mitt Romney was declared the winner on Saturday, leading Ron Paul by 194 votes out of 5,585 cast, according to the official results at the time.

But the numbers did not include Washington County’s caucuses, which were postponed until this Saturday because of a snowstorm.

In addition, the vote totals from several communities, including Waterville and much of Waldo County, were left out of the official count because of clerical or computer errors. Some other communities’ vote totals were entered incorrectly.
