Sorry, for any confusion, it was late last last night and I was tired.
Yesterday was our county convention in MN, which delegates from the townships attended. Several democrat activists had been to the caucuses and provided bogus addresses. These were small townships so they could easily become delegates.
At the county convention, they were trying to become delegates to the state convention, where we finally select our candidates. The presidential candidate is awarded our delegates at the state convention, all things can change at the state convention.
The treasurer said he mailed invitations to the district convention to all delegates; over 10% of them were returned due to unknown address. He mailed those again; they were returned again.
The treasurer said that in the past, around 25% of the county delegates actually attend the state convention.
Here is the problem:
There were delegates in attendance that many thought were democrats, and were actual residents (probably registered as Republicans). There were activists in attendance that had bogus addresses. If only 25% of the real republican delegates attend the state convention, these activists have an actual chance of swaying who our nominee is, as well as disrupting the convention.
yes, so why not tell us what happened? There is no voter list at the convention or before confirming that the DELEGATES who were attending (having been elected at the caucuses) were registered Republicans at the address they gave? That is required at our caucuses in CT (non-presidential) and IA and Maine.
So how many delegates did the county elect on SATURDAY?
What were the vote totals?
Did Santorum get most of the delegates?
was it held at Fergus Falls town hall or a school?
How many people were there?
