..urge the remaining caucus goers to get to Washington County and cast their votes. Somehow I feel this an additional trick the GOP in Maine has in their bag. If Romney wins, it will be added and if RP wins, it doesn't matter. As if they are the only ones who have the privilege to change whatever they wish. I'd go and vote for RP if I were you.

Lets prove to them we're on top of this. They CANNOT have their way all the time. Let's put pressure on them until they yield and quit.

RP supporters in Maine,

RP supporters in Maine, particularly in Washington County, and looks like Clinton too, need to go person by person informing of the dirty tricks if folks don't know about it.
The sheer outrage of the hijacked process should create a fresh groundswell of support - if only in protest.
Y'all get together up there, and create an RP army of voters next Saturday. Screw the establishment. Get 'em.

It doesn't make sense why they will not count the votes with the total tally. The total count in Maine is UNOFFICIAL and NON-BINDING so the Washington county votes should be counted. Ron Paul should challenge this as Gingrich is challenging the winner-take-all delegate allocation in Florida.

Washington County (pop. 32,856) postponed its caucuses due to the threat of 1-3″ of snow (which did not materialize). They will be voting next Saturday. However, Maine GOP Executive Director Michael Quatrano announced that the official results are permanent and will not be changed when the new votes come in.

Washington County GOP Chairman Chris Gardner objected, saying he had known his county’s tally wouldn’t be included in Saturday’s announcement but didn’t realize it wouldn’t be counted at all. He said he had called state party leaders and “expressed my complete and utter dismay.”

Some have called Washington County a “Ron Paul stronghold” that could have propelled Ron Paul to a Maine victory. Ron Paul campaign chairman Jesse Benton suggested that the Romney campaign was involved in the cancellation of the caucus as Paul’s campaign had expected to do well: “It’s not completely insidious, but they knew we were going to swamp it up there.”

In 2008 Ron Paul got 8 out of 113 votes (7%) while Mitt Romney received 40 out of 113 votes (35%) in the county. If Romney had remained stagnant at 40 votes and Ron Paul had received an additional 227 votes in Washington County, Paul would have won Maine.
