There definitely were anomalies in the count, but some of these towns had very few votes. You must use both the percentage AND the number of votes. It still would likely change the placement, but not necessarily third unless the towns were fairly large.
Two additional anomalies were: One- that Huckabee 10-13%, Giuliani 7-10%, Paul 4-9% and Thompson 1-3% maintained these same percentage variations almost in lockstep throughout the entire count, with a few exceptions in a few towns. Second-that it is inconceivable that Thompson, even though he campaigned little, and as widely known and respected as he is, did not fare better overall as he did in Iowa. He should have been between about 5-10% based solely on his name and reputation recognition.
Here are a few of the towns and total votes. This why BOTH vote totals and percentages must be analyzed.
