Submitted by AnAppealToHeavenWash on Fri, 11/30/2007 - 16:27
Mitt Romey Campaign buys its supporters tickets to vote as many times as they like...

"I voted 20 times," Derek Gyongzois, 38, of St. Petersburg exclaimed after casting ballots.
He said he works as a volunteer for the Romney campaign (and begged a reporter not to print his 20-vote tally). Did he buy the tickets?
"I don't have that kind of money," Gyongzois said.

For everyone else, there's Mastercard
Cost of a ticket to vote in a straw poll - $20
Cost of 20 tickets to vote in a straw poll - $400
Catching video one guy vote 20 times for Romney - Priceless
This is a riot!
I love it! :-D
Straw polls are rigged in a sense, and not official in any way - just fundraisers that help fill news stories until primaries begin...
But wouldn't this make a kickass debate question for Romney next time?
I heard this and posted...here comes the evidence..
Is there any videos? From what I heard on ronPaulradio, the Ron Paul people were videotaping the Romney supporters, who they outnumbered about 10 to 1...But I guess that wasn't enough...when 1=20 in Romney world... this is just another disgusting political trick... Why doesn't someone in the media ask Romney about this?

$400/ticket? It was $20/ticket.
Please take some deep breaths before hitting the "Post" button, and read what you've written to see if (a) there are any typos and (b) it makes any sense.
That said, the underlying point is that Mitt's a money-strewing cheater. He's spent his campaign deeply into debt trying to astroturf his way to the top. He's ridiculous, like all the other candidates... except one. ;-)
