So I watched a video of Maddow in the Maine voter fraud thread, and I'm definitely pleased with her reporting on that story. But I think she held back a little bit on reporting just how important a changed vote count result could be for the Paul campaign if Washington County's total ends up putting him over the top. When they were talking about how at the end of the day it was just a beauty contest anyway, what they don't get is that this "beauty contest" is still seen as important in the eyes of the electorate the rest of the way through this primary season. If the state GOP changes the total and announces Paul as the winner, the media would have to report this and I think of the 4 candidates in the field, it's pretty obvious that no one would benefit more from having an announced win than Paul at this point. Being the one candidate seen as unelectable, getting his first ever primary win would go a long way towards changing that narrative.
And if they DO decide to count the votes it will conveniently be AFTER Super Tuesday...
Things that make you go hmmmmmm....
