You bet it does but it also shows that Iowa was in the tank for Romney and STILL is because they claim it is NOW a tie between Romney and Santorum...a TIE?
Well why do they say it is NOW a tie because there some precincts that will never be counted when the same facts existed when they claimed Romney was called the winner by just eight votes?
No one cares.
This script was written a year ago.
So, Santorum’s delegate count from Iowa increases from 0 to 0.
Romney by 8 = WIN
Santorum by 34 = TIE
Got it!
Chip Saltsman spokes person in Iowa...’Mitt has already sucked up all the gravy in Iowa’.
So he doesn’t matter? Has he ever heard of vomiting and gravy is so easy to throw up.
Wow - if Denver had just gotten one more point they would’ve tied New England
Beck will be in a total mild down mode today.
this only further convinces me that the fix is in.
Sickening.
When they declared for mitt the twit it was historic; when Santorum wins in the real count it’s a tie. Several boxes of ballots are missing and may never be found. It sounds very much like the Iowa GOP is ineptly trying to put in the “fix” like the democrat party does everywhere. Why again is it that we let a few states pick our candidates? We wail and moan about the MSM and democrat party picking our candidates but we don’t seem to mind when the GOP elite in a few states do it. We are again back to either SC or FL making the choice for all of the rest of us so why bother with any other primaries. What a pile of crap.
Wow...I predict MASSIVE voter fraud this November. Sure win for Obama.
They link to a spreadsheet with the precinct breakdown for the 1766 precincts they were able to certify. That spreadsheet verified my surmise that whatever the votes were in the other 8 non-certified precincts, they are not being counted. They're not even lines on the spreadsheet. Hopefully someone will perform further journalism and discover what went wrong. As of this posting the Iowa GOP site hasn't been updated today; the Register is the only site with data posted.
I don't have time for a full comparison now, but a glance at the "certified" spread sheet in comparison to the one posted after "Mitt won" revealed a couple interesting points.
First, they broke down the voting by others in more detail. Sarah Palin only received 23 votes statewide. Cain received 45. Some much for their hopes of resurrection.
Second, although they aren't providing totals from the 8 "non-certified" precincts now, their unofficial results were provided earlier this month and if unchanged would provide Santorum with an additional 35 vote margin:
46 Romney
81 Santorum
64 Paul
30 Gingrich
31 Perry
15 Bachman
2 Huntsman
269 Total
So although they are now saying Santorum 'won' in the 99.5% complete 'final' tally, had it been 100% the best available data suggests he really won by about 69 votes. The size and trend of those 8 unofficially counted precincts makes it fairly likely that Santorum really did win Iowa.
So we're off to an interesting day. Santorum flips Mitt in Iowa. Perry reported to be dropping out. Newt gets dropped on by ex #2 tonight and what will likely be an interesting debate tonight. I'm off to work so will be offline awhile.
