Per @fivethirtyeight:

"Maine neglected to count results from caucuses in Waterville, and Waldo County, which were strong for Paul in 2008."

Bangor Daily Nwes - "Pressure mounting for GOP caucus reconsideration"
http://bangordailynews.com/2012/02/14/politics/elections/pressure-mounting-for-gop-caucus-reconsideration/

And it said they reversed(!) the results for Paul and Romney in Portland(!).

This set of results is from Waldo Village Soup and shows additional caucus votes not counted in the official Maine GOP Tally located at this page.  Lets hope that these are included in the final tally - I hate zeros...

From the Caption: "This table combines results provided by local Republican party officials, as well as those listed in a press release announcing the official statewide GOP caucus results. The row labeled "Other Towns" is a combined tally including several communities that caucused at the Feb. 4 event in Belfast, such as Lincolnville and Monroe, but which individual results were not available for."

Iowa Part II? I guess the National GOP knew Romney needed a boost after his hilarious string of failures last week, so they informed the Maine GOP that Romney would have to win. The Republican Party is just disgusting.

Dave, will you add the town results into the database at some point for these primaries/caucuses?

There's just not enough out there to reverse the results, even if Paul is only down by 200, I'm seeing about a quarter of that coming back.

Hi,
The NH data was already there - I just updated the town table to include the Maine Caucus data.
I haven't done the maps yet.
Enjoy,
Dave

The results have been stuck at 84% reporting due to the remaining caucuses that haven't yet taken place.  What changes are we likely to expect, if any?

Pretty hard proof of voter fraud or at least gross incompetence:

Apperently, the Republican Party of Maine has decided to consider correcting any errors in the count in a timely fashion.

Another public relations disaster for the Romney campaign. Why did they think they could get away with it?

I think that this election cycle will spell the end of the caucus as a method of choosing delegates (especially in the GOP).

No it won't.  It should, but it won't:

The Dems managed to run their caucuses perfectly fine in 2008. It's only the GOP that is full of incompetents.

Agreed.

Why? The fiasco in Maine is due not to the caucus system, but, rather, the moral failings of the people administering the caucus. A moral administrator of a caucus would have strove to maintain an accurate count, corrected any reported errors promptly and without reservation, and, would have stated that the Washington county results would be included because the caucus there was delayed due to no fault of the Republican voters there.

Blaming "the system" and talking about changing "the system" distracts what really needs to be done: the rank-and-file Republicans of Maine need to fire their state chairman before it dawns on him to resign in disgrace.

Maine used to be a part of Massachusetts so this is really a home state win for Romney. Should be disregarded.

Makes it easier... we can just consider all the Louisiana purchase states as one state.

How is this a PR disaster for anybody other than the MEGOP?

Despite everything, I don't see how the results (in %) are going to change much. I suppose the one missing county could theoretically make a difference, but I'm not convinced Paul will even win there - let alone the near 100% he'd likely need.

Glad we can rely on you, Lief, to provide a truthful, unbiased analysis on the caucus process!
