2 for Paul (no surprise) 4 for Romney, SIX FOR NEWT!!!
I hear-by declare I was wrong about Mormons’ mindless support for Romney. They can be reached with the truth where politics are concerned.
Newt should have done more here, I really think that if he had put his heart into this campaign in Nevada, he would have won it, and it might have been a good antidote to Florida even if it isn't a lot of votes.
But he will definitely get some delegates!
Sorry to read that!
Your caucus was done incorrectly, I would have expected better from the county that likes to think it runs the state, and always tries to dominate the convention.
All delegates and alternates are in fact supposed to fill out a form.
The delegate keeps one copy as their admission form to the state convention.
The local committee keeps a copy, another goes to the state party committee organizing the state convention.
I hope your precinct captain straitens this out quickly.
Here's a play by play of my experience as a caucus goer in Boulder City, NV.
There were two caucus centers in town, pop. 15,000, for 6 precincts. My polling place was the pavillion at the city owned golf club.
First up was registration before business at 9:00 am. Photo ID was required for Republican registered voters only.
Three sections were divided by partitions.
A member of the Boulder City Republican Women's Club chaired my precinct to start. No one objected to her chair so she conducted the meeting.
First up was to ask for volunteers for delegate to the Clark County Caucus. The precinct was allocated 9 delegates and an alternate. 9 people volunteered for delegate and 1 for alternate. No others volunteered so no vote was necessary. They were in as representatives of precinct 7563.
Next up were speeches in favor of candidates, limited to 2 minutes each. No one spoke for Newt, one for Ron Paul, one for Santorum, and State Senator Dr. Joe Hardy (my brother-in-law) spoke for Romney.
Then roll was called and a ballot with each candidate was passed out.
Ballots were collected and counted (witnessed) in front of the caucus.
My precinct tallied Romney 27, Newt 9, Santorum 7, Paul 5.
The caucus was over by 10;00 am.
Tonight there will be a special caucus for anyone observing their faith on Saturday. It will be held at one location downtown Las Vegas.
Ofter this mornings caucus I was called by Ron Pauls minions (I had earlied indicated to them, facetiously, my interest in Paul) who informed me they were going to hold a protest rally complaining about requirements of photo IDs.
It was my earlier experience, based on phone calls, that most Paul phone banks were manned by out of state, mostly Oregon, Paulbots. I suspect they are pissed because they couldn't show up and vote for Ron Paul because they had no NV ID.
I suppose they will try to vote tonight at the "Jewish" special location.
We shall see if they get the press involved.
No delegates were obligated to vote for any candidate today. That will take place at the state convention when delegates are apportioned based on the ballots cast in caucus meetings this morning. That tally will begin to be reported tonight after 5:00 pm.
