Ron Paul gets 21% in Washington State before Party Bosses Quit Counting at 87% of the Votes … What the … ???
What the hell is going on with Washington State?
“It is very unfortunate that the Washington State Party Chairman, Luke Esser, chose to call the race for John McCain after only 87 percent of the vote was counted,” Huckabee Campaign Chairman Ed Rollins said in a statement released Sunday night.
“According to CNN, the difference between Senator McCain and Governor Huckabee is a mere 242 votes, out of more than 12,000 votes counted—with another 1500 or so votes, apparently, not counted. That is an outrage.”
With 87 percent of precincts reporting, the state party declared McCain the victor with only a narrow lead over former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, and Texas Congressman Ron Paul a fairly close third.
