Maine GOP adds missing caucus votes, but won’t release updated vote count (claims death threats)
Bear in mind, there still is the postponed caucuses to go (on Saturday, the 18th). The THUGS are soooo desperate for Rmoney to win this insanity that they have just dropped all pretense of open democracy.

The Maine Republican Party has added additional votes accidentally omitted from Saturday’s caucus results, state party chairman Charlie Webster told The Daily Caller Wednesday. But those votes won’t be publicly released.
“We don’t want any more drama,” Webster told TheDC. “I’ve already got death threats and 1,800 emails.” Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney was declared the victor in Maine over the weekend, claiming a slim 194-vote lead over Texas Rep. Ron Paul.
Paul supporters, however, expressed dismay over errors in tabulating vote counts in various localities, including several towns in Waldo County. That county’s Republican committee passed a motion of censure against Webster on Tuesday.
In addition to the missing votes, a caucus scheduled for Washington County on Saturday was postponed due to a forecast of snow. The Paul campaign insisted that it would have won the state had the vote not been pushed back, and the county’s GOP chair is advocating that its results be included in the ultimate tally. The Paul campaign is expected to make a serious push for turnout in Washington County’s rescheduled caucus this Saturday. “If Romney lost by 20 votes, would we be having this big discussion?” Webster mused.
