Some pretty strange stuff at the end of the vote count.
Out of the last 100 votes, McCain apparently got 48 of them.
Here's a comparison of the votes as reported, earliest to latest:

John McCain          64      86     116     164
Rudy Giuliani       108     123     158     162
Duncan Hunter        80     110     152     158
Sam Brownback        48      68      83      85
Mitt Romney          53      59      80      80

McCain got 48 of the last 100 votes? this sounds like the Dems "motor voter" pushes at the end of the precinct reports, like they did to take the VA senate seat from Allen.

you have got to be kidding me.

McCain's sidekick, SC Senator Lindsey Graham could have influenced that vote....homeboy's pal, you knowl

Very fishy vote count. Duncan Hunter still won this one IMO.

Yeh.

When the counting stopped last evening, McCain was in the middle of the pack.

Yet, after the counting today, he miraculously jumps into the lead.

There is more that smells here than barnyard straw.

Calling the gang to lookat som strange numbers.

This is the kind of manipulation that an honest candidate is up against in America?

Pretty strange is right. < tinfoil! > He's the only one NOT at CPAC, right? ;-P

Fascinating analysis!

Is there anyway to validate the votes cast?

I can see why CNN would push McCain (because he is so very defeatable). Perhaps an investigation is needed. I doubt CNN is above vote, ah "misrepresentation".

Future straw votes should take additional security measures.
