Maine GOP to recount caucus votes

[RandySF]

AUGUSTA — The Maine Republican Party is reviewing its numbers from the presidential caucuses as pressure grows for a recount.

An email sent to county and town chairman this afternoon asks the local officials to resubmit vote totals to the state headquarters.

“We are confirming the totals from the presidential preference straw poll,” the email says. “Can you please email me the totals from your towns?”

The email does not say when, or whether, state GOP officials will publicly correct or update the results that have been posted on the party’s website since Saturday, when Mitt Romney was declared the winner over Ron Paul by less than 200 votes.

1. Oh how I would love it if Paul triumphs in the recount.

2. I'm betting the results don't get published until after Super Tuesday if Ron is the winner.

The pro-Romney republicans in charge aren't going to release bad news for Mitt, although, if the results show Mitt does win...then, of course the results will be known before Super Tuesday.

3. This is the second caucus recount

First Iowa, now Maine.


How many others need to be recounted?

What does this say about what the GOP have planned for November?

4. Waukesha County Wisconsin should probably borrow the State of Maine Republicans....

Wisconsin's expert vote counter, Kathy Nicholaus. Republican votes for Romney will more than double.
