    PeterO–they didn’t announce a total delegate amount first, so I don’t know. But he’ll win VERY easily.

  2. Trent Hill

    Maine didn’t even say how many votes they had. Someone go ask him.

    Totals 419 Johnson 70.4%
    Wrights 152 25.5%
    Burns 12 2.0%
    Person 3 0.5%
    NOTA 3 0.55
    Write-ins 6 1%

  4. Trent Hill

    I got different numbers, Paulie. Plus, we don’t know Maine’s numbers.

  5. Trent Hill

    Then the numbers are wrong. 419 is the total without Maine. Pretty sure Wrights had 144, too, not 152, not that it matters. I have that Burns had 9, also.

  6. Trent Hill

    Paulie–please visit the secretary and ask to see the numbers. Especially asking about the Maine votes.

    The ones that were on the screen which I reported, I mean. I asked her if it included Maine and she said yes.

  9. Trent Hill

    Ok, great, Paulie. Thanks.

    I’m still somewhat certain the numbers were wrong, but if they’re official and final, then that’s it.

    Several people have told me 419 is the number without Maine. Alicia is usually very accurate with record keeping so I’m not sure what is up with that.

  11. Carol Moore

    OK, on which of the two Root Votes did Root get BOO’d with no cheers? I have it on tape… What a moment for my Root tape, if he gets back on LNC and we to keep the BOOT ROOT campaign going…. (off LNCC too, please)…

    I’m disappointed that balloting is done in secret.

    a list of how each delegates vote should be recorded and the list should be made public.

    Imagine if the US congress voted secret ballot
