Front lines: Washington caucus report.

very nice work

From Molly in WA 43.
---
I got to count all of the ballots for district 43! Rode in the car with the person who had custody of the ballots to their office and another Paul supporter and I were there the whole time. Mike was actually entering the data into the spreadsheet while I watched one of their people open the envelopes. They were extremely fair and careful and even a couple of times caught a something that I nearly missed that ensured an extra Paul vote. I also caught a couple of near-misses that wound up being McCain votes, so we’re even.

It was so amazing – I can’t tell you how amazing – to sign in every Paul supporter who was in line at my caucus and see everyone’s faces, and then one by one recognize everyone’s name on the sign-in sheets, and then see them win their delegate slots, and hear Paul’s name called out by these McCain supporting GOP guys in their own office. I almost choked up a couple of times!

You guys did an amazing job! Also the Paul people did a much better job of filling in the forms completely – if they decide to throw out all the forms that don’t have a signature at the bottom, we’ll be in even better shape.

District 43 PROVISIONAL results (not including two other small caucus locations, and these are NOT final results, subject to checking voter registrations and whether the forms were filled out correctly and such):

Huckabee 17 delegates

McCain 48 delegates

Paul 62 delegates

Romney 7 delegates

Uncommited 11 delegates

Keep the reports coming!

OFFICIAL 43rd District Reports

62 delegates for paul more than any other candidate
11 Uncommitted
Mccain 48
Huckabee 14
Romney 7
Keyes 1

I'm a delegate onward to the legislative district convention (keep in mind some of the other candidates delegates are RP people too but they played the political game and got elected delegates )

does anybody else have firsthand knowledge of what happened today? would love to hear reports of support from around the state.

This up.

My fingers are crossed!

Just announced RON PAUL WON CLARK COUNTY!!! Vancouver, Washington is in Clark County, right across the Columbia river from Portland. Woooohooooo!!

Almost half the vote with 40% in so far... Go RP!

Thank you guys so much! It's sounding like you all did GREAT!

Waiting games are never good.

In Washington state, the dems caucus is 100% of the results. But reps have both caucus (today) for 49% of the overall results, and a primary on Feb 19th for 51% of the overall results.

When people talk of delegates today, those are usually local level. Delegates from today to to the district caucus later. Then after that the state level caucus.

Something like that.

CNN's link to see the Washington vote when they start showing them...I don't like MSM, but its hard to find info like what we want somewhere else...

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny. James Madison

Results should start coming in soon.. Dem's have theirs.

Good god.. Obama is leading Hillary 2-to-1 http://www.politico.com

Obama had some kinda massive 20,000 people rally in Seattle Center the night before..

Have we heard from LA yet?

is there somewhere we can see the state-wide results? website?

There are more donations to the Ron Paul campaign from Microsoft (Redmond, 20 minutes from Seattle) employees than any other candidate.

great job!

Hopefully Washington is a win for Ron Paul and hopefully the media does give it the proper attention it deserves.

Sounds like Washington just may help turn this thing around. We'll wait and see. Ron Paul is both George Washington and Washington, D.C. ....how fitting. You go Washington!

That's the state where that video of the mistreated anti-war people was shot. Yep, people that don't want war are finally starting to get it.......and his name is Ron Paul.

And coincidently, if he does win Washington, it's another state that has a caucus and no rigged machines. Is anyone still questioning the extreme vote fraud that has been going on? And yes, I know it takes more dedicated people, like RP supporters, to caucus, but 3 and 5%......no fricking way.

My wife and I both became delegates in our precinct in Kennewick today. Other precincts at our caucus also had Paul delegates. Although I can't give totals, I can say that there was very little support for McCain

at least 4 of the 5 delegates from my precinct are Ron Paul supporters! The 5th one says he's for RP, but he also said good things about Huckabee -- and I'm one of the 5 delegates!

The PCO for my precinct had 1 person 'pre-selected' even though he wasn't there and was going to have us only vote for 4 of 5 delegates 'til I opened my mouth, and now that person is an alternate instead (maybe -- he wasn't formally put into nomination even!). But overall, great results and more people who were RP supporters in attendance than I expected!

I think all Paul needs to do is win one state, as soon as he does he'll gain instant attention.

In my precinct it was pretty lax. There was no debate, pretty much everyone who wanted to be a delegate was chosen, we didn't even go to vote. And surprisingly it was pretty pro McCain. For our four slots, one for RP (me) and 3 for McCain.

That's great news!! THANK YOU!!

These ideas can win.
