Ron Paul Won Nevada Caucus – And Nevada Voters Lost

Ron Paul Won Nevada Caucus – And Nevada Voters Lost
Posted on February 6, 2012 by Kathleen Gee

While you were busy enjoying your bread and circuses yesterday, operatives from the Nevada GOP–aided and abetted by all four cable "news" networks–were busily manipulating the results of the Nevada Caucuses, handing another undeserved victory to Mittens "It's My Turn, Peasants" Romneycare.

You probably aren't aware of this, because the TeeVee told you that Mitt Romney won, nothing to see here, move along now, after a mere 5% of the vote had been counted.

But what the TeeVee didn't tell you–for about an entire day–is that the Nevada GOP refused to release the results from Clark County, Nevada's most populous county and the home of 60% of Nevada's registered voters. In fact, as of this writing, more than 30 hours after the last caucus closed, the Nevada Caucuses are still not decided. (Well, not in the "lawfully and transparently counting the votes to see who got the most" sense. They've already been decided in the "we count the votes, and we already decided in advance that Mittens was going to win" sense.)

Here's some coverage of the "special caucus" that Newt's billionaire casino magnate backer bought for him. It was the last caucus that took place, and is in Clark County, where 60% of all Nevada voters are located. Later that night, CNN also aired the live counting of the votes at that caucus. In the video below, CNN joins the event at the point where the candidates' supporters were giving stump speeches. Over two dozen caucus voters spoke on Ron Paul's behalf, in an audience that was expected to be largely Seventh-Day Adventists and Orthodox Jews. Romney, Gingrich and Santorum only inspired two or three supporters to speak on their behalf, according to one witness who voted at the caucus.

Here are the results, counted and announced live on CNN:

Ron Paul: 183
Mittens Romney: 61
Newt Gingrich: 57
Rick Santorum: 16

It's remarkable that the total is so high, given the fact that the caucus organizers forced those who wanted to vote to sign a "religious declaration" affidavit before giving them a ballot, likely in violation of the Voting Rights Act.

Even with religious discrimination the results favored Ron Paul, as the Paul campaign expected, based on their internal polling. (At some point in the past two weeks, I read that the Paul campaign had identified over 20,000 definite Ron Paul voters in advance of the caucuses. I'll post a source if I can find it.)

Ron Paul's vote totals have more than doubled in every primary or caucus so far over his 2008 totals, and since he has had a massive organization in Nevada for four years, and Nevada is a libertarian state, he was expected to either win or tie for first place.  And in the ONE large Clark County caucus where the votes were counted in public, on live television, Ron Paul won by a landslide, as was expected.

Apparently, that was bad news for those in the Cocktail Party GOP in Nevada.

Miraculously, "irregularities" were quickly found that required the party operatives to sequester themselves in a smoke-filled room and "recount" the votes from Clark County (until they get the totals they had decided upon in advance?)

At 3:10 a.m. Monday, nearly 10% of the votes have still not been reported. At this point, Ron Paul is listed in third place with only 5,901 votes -- fewer votes than he received in 2008, when he placed second to Mitt Romney in the Nevada caucuses.

And just as miraculously, the chairwoman of the GOP in Nevada resigned effective 12:01 Sunday morning, in a move she claimed was pre-planned and had nothing whatsoever to do with the voter fraud the Nevada GOP was apparently undertaking.

Here's an hour-by-hour account of how the Cocktail Party GOP in Nevada–with in collusion with the Democrat-controlled media–stole the election from Ron Paul and gave it to Mittens Romneycare.

Here's a shorter version of events of the caucus voting and counting.

Move along, peasants. Nothing to see here. Turn up the surround sound and pass the hot wings.
