How many people were at your local caucus? This lie was not only being spread verbally but via twitter. So you know personally that no one there got any information of this lie on their cell phone?
probably 200 or so
I cant say unequivocally that NO one was affected, but I did not hear about it at the caucus.
if you look at the raw vote totals, carson finished 4th in just about every county across the state. 3rd in a couple, but mostly, he was consistent in his % of votes, statewide.
statistically, if this issue was a factor, one would think that you would see lots of variation in his vote totals from county to county, as this would have got around the state but that simply did not happen.
Personally, I dont think it factored in at all. that is just my humble opinion.
