Every vote should count. Huckabee is right to demand an accounting of this questionable decision. He won two states Saturday. How would it have looked for McCain if he had swept all three states? The Republican Party in Washington apparently didn't want to know, so they stopped counting votes. And refused to let a Huckabee attorney watch the counting of the final ballots! I guess they thought the media would just forget there was an election in WA. :roll:

The results of the state Republican caucuses were called into question today after presidential candidate Mike Huckabee challenged the party's declaration that Arizona Sen. John McCain had won the delegate count.

Huckabee's campaign took issue with the fact that Washington state Republican Party Chairman Luke Esser called the race Saturday night with 87 percent of the precincts counted. At that point, McCain was ahead of Huckabee by 242 delegates out of the 13,000 counted, Esser said. The Huckabee campaign contends there were another 1,500 or so delegates not counted.

In the face of the Huckabee protest, the state Republican Party quickly resumed its count today, a bit sooner than it had planned.

In a news release, Huckabee's campaign said there were "obvious irregularities" in the state's Republican caucuses and that it is sending lawyers to explore "all available legal options regarding the dubious final results."

According to the GOP's Saturday tally, Arizona Sen. John McCain won about 26 percent of delegates, Arkansas Gov. Huckabee won 24 percent, Texas Rep. Ron Paul finished with 21 percent, and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, who has dropped out of the race, got 17 percent. Most of the rest were non-committed.

"This was an error in judgment by Mr. Esser," the release from the Huckabee campaign said. "Washington Republicans know, from bitter experience in the 2004 gubernatorial election, the terrible results that can come from bad ballot counting."

The state Republican party posted new numbers late this afternoon, with 93 percent of the precincts reporting. The percentages didn't change much, with McCain winning about 25 percent of the delegates, Huckabee 24 percent, Paul 21 percent, and Romney 17 percent.

Esser's acceleration of the count hasn't altered the Huckabee campaign's intent to investigate. Its lawyers should reach the state by late today, said James P. Pinkerton, a campaign spokesman.

"This clearly requires a full excavation as to what happened," Pinkerton said. "The political impact of calling an election before all the votes are counted is pretty seismic. Chairman Esser should fully explain what happened and why to the satisfaction of all Washington state Republicans and all Republicans nationwide."

Esser said this afternoon that the Republican Party was going to try to get as "close as we can to 100 percent" in the vote count, and may have more numbers by later today. But Esser doesn't believe counting more votes will change the outcome.

"We're eager to give everybody the same level of confidence in the numbers as we have," he said.

Esser said their last county report on Saturday came shortly before 10:15 p.m., at which point they had 87.2 percent of precincts reporting. That's when they did an analysis, saying: "Let's take every county where Huckabee is beating McCain, and double the margin of victory," Esser said. "And then take every county where McCain is winning and cut in half that margin of victory. Even if you assume that, Sen. McCain still holds on.


"That's when we said we're confident that Sen. McCain's lead was going to hold up," Esser said. "I would have done the same for Gov. Huckabee if he had the same margin and the same underlying dynamics as Sen. McCain."

Esser said he spoke today with Pastor Joseph Fuiten of Bothell, who's heading Huckabee's volunteer effort in this state. According to Esser, Fuiten said Huckabee supporters reported some voting irregularities. Esser said the party would investigate those allegations. Fuiten could not be reached for comment.

Esser said he didn't have a figure for the number of people who attended the Republican caucuses, since he asked workers to focus on the delegate elections.

Saturday's caucuses will determine only a portion of the 40 Republican delegates who will go on to the Republican National Convention. Caucuses at various levels will determine 18 of those delegates; 19 will be based on the state primary election on Feb. 19. The three remaining positions are "automatic" delegates — the state party chairman and two national-committee members.

Paul's campaign is also not conceding the state.

Maureen Moore, Washington state coordinator for the Paul campaign, said her candidate "did wonderful — a lot more wonderful than what's being reported."

On the Democratic side, more than 200,000 people — a record number — turned out for the state caucuses. With 96 percent of the precincts counted, Illinois Sen. Barack Obama won about 68 percent of the delegates, New York Sen. Hillary Clinton won about 31 percent, and the rest choosing either "uncommitted" or "other."

Final numbers will be released by 5 p.m. Monday, said Kelly Steele, spokesman for Washington State Democrats.

How soon the libs forget what actually happened in Fla.
Remember after the vote where the dems lost they started wanting recounts and kept losing in the recounts.
But if you remeber the libs only wanted a recount in Dem districts. Remember they didn't want the Rep districts recounted, or the MILITARY. How disgusting to try and portray yourself as for the Military and then don't want their vote to count.
To end it the Libs wanted to count the dem districts and the SC said that if they wanted to recount.............they had to recount ALL the districts.

Remembering that is not on the DEMs agenda. All they want to do is cry and spread disinformation, till the are caught and then they run to a different subject and try again :shock:

I can't believe the arrogance- and disregard for the entire rules of the Democracy system and the ideals of our Constitution that the Washington state Republican Party Chairman had-- to just decide that the last 10-15% of the votes didn't need counting- and he declared the winner....Individuals votes don't count anymore with the Republican Party :???: That he could play King- or Kingmaker :???: That missing the post election parties whiskey, women, and lobster were more important to him than making sure all votes were counted fairly :???:


Is this some new gene thats being bred in this new breed Republican :???: :wink: :p

Kola, so I guess I can assume you think all the votes in WA should be counted. In doing so you condemn the Reps.

So I guess it is fair to say that you condemn the Dems for not wanting to count the MILITARY vote in Fla.

Isn't that not counting the military vote the ultimate in LOW?

I would hope ALL PARTIES- and anyone involved in ANY party affiliation or the government would recognize that you count ALL votes....

The ultimate low..the ultimate low is the fact that we even HAVE to deal with votes that come in from soldiers in Iraq, a place they are located due to one man's ego!

Absentee votes of soldiers who are dead before the votes are even counted....THAT'S LOW

That's the ultimate low.

What's low is the idea of a "Superdelegate" idea that the Democrats have adopted to allow the rich and powerful a chance to select the nominee!

"Superdelegate" is an informal term for some of the delegates to the Democratic National Convention, the quadrennial convention of the United States Democratic Party.

The convention delegates who are not superdelegates are selected as a result of party primaries and caucuses in each U.S. state, in which voters express their preference among the contenders for the party’s nomination for President of the United States. Delegates supporting each candidate are chosen in approximate ratio to their candidate’s share of the vote. In some states, the delegates so chosen are legally required to vote for the candidate to whom they are pledged, at least on the first ballot at the convention. By contrast, the superdelegates are seated based solely on their status as current or former elected officeholders and party officials. They are free to support any candidate for the nomination, although many of them have publicly announced endorsements."
