UPDATED: Mitt Romney got 20 fewer votes in Moulton precinct, Appanoose County GOP chairman says!!!!!
Any other sources possibly picking this up?
I used to work at the Iowa Job Service office for that area, in Centerville. Was once a big coal mining area. Lots of hunting and fishing.
I did a search on Iowa and Santorum and didn’t see anything so please don’t go Nazi about this being old news. This is from the Register and they not only quote the lowly poll worker Mr. True, the County chairman looks like he agrees. I am familiar with small Iowa counties, and there is no way Mitt got 22 votes in that little town.
WOW AND DOUBLE WOW!!!! Yes. I did see the people behind Carl Cameron and I do feel a lot of fishy things were going on as first a truck was on its way with the votes and then they said that was not true! The next story was that they were lost and they were looking for them and then over an hour passed while people supposedly hunted for them. FISHY TO THE MAX. I heard Fox ask Santorum about the rumors today that he won Iowa. He said he is focused on NH and nothing more was said.
Not seeing this elsewhere . . .

It’s about time someone admitted Santorum actually has a chance

Maybe Newt should slip this bit of news in during the debate tonight...kind of a ‘congratulations, Rick’ comment...Romnuts would spit blood right on the stage...
I grew up in Breamer/Buchanon.
Until Perry can shake the perception that he’s soft on illegal immigration, I doubt many Conservatives will give him another look.
Looks like it’s been out on the DM Register site for about 5 hours or so. I think this is important, Mitt spent trillions of dollars in Iowa and came in second. Mark my words, the media will now start calling this a tie.
“Rick” Santorum.
:D
Some supporters of other candidates will never admit it, even when it's President Santorum...

It’s been much discussed here. Would have been hard to miss.
Rick Santorum May Have Won Iowa

Did Mitt Romney have less votes than Rick Santorum?

So does Santorum have a different story now?
Here’s what Santorum has to say:
“Here’s what I know,” Santorum told Fox News. “Having talked to the chairman Matt Strawn, who is the chairman of the Republican Party of Iowa, that all these counties are going to be reporting in, they’re going to be certifying them that there was one county where there was a 20-vote mistake in my favor but there was a 21-vote mistake in Romney’s favor so it actually netted out to what I understand is a one-vote difference.”
