In reply to the discussion: Caucus Vote Counter Says Romney Mistakenly Given 20 Votes [View all]skinnydipinacid
(7 posts)57. it shouldn't be hard to confirm this
I am a caucus chairman in Iowa and not only are the votes counted by the Secretary and witnessed by people such as the caucus reporter, representatives of whichever candidates' campaigns are present and sometimes even volunteers and the chairman/woman themselves. After all votes have been verified and counted they are then recorded on form a signed and dated w/time of vote by both the Secretary and Caucus Chairman. They are then turned into that county's headquarters.
This should be an issue that is both easily (and quickly) confirmed or denied between the headquarters and caucus secretary/chair.

Please take this to the Supreme Court. It would make their heads explode from partisan thinking. /nt

Delegates are unpledged; Romney, Santorum and Paul 'have' 20 each anyway
