Twitter feed is now filling up with Ron Paul stolen election complaints.

'Twas inevitable.

Well, when you turn away 1000 people, you're gonna piss a lot of people off.  Though from a statistical standpoint, the distribution of the 1000 would hypothetically be the same as for the 2000 people that got in... hypothetically.

I haven't seen any evidence that the turning 1000 people away hurt Paul any more than anyone else. I doubt Paul wins in Kennewick anyway.

Not if supporters of some candidates were more likely to show up early or shove their way to the front than supporters of others.

Apparently, the Bellevue-based 41st had a total turnout of 130.  These turnout reports don't quite gel...

What is that - a precinct?  Is that high or low?

The die-hard Paul supporters would get there early.  The college kid Paul supporters would show up late.

Again, I said hypothetically.  But I really don't think it has a huge impact on the result.

Fox is reporting high turnout, but no percentages.  Romney?

Nate Silver seemed to think high turnout would help Santorum or possibly Paul.

It's a legislative district, 1/49th of the state population.  That's about the same turnout as the Whitman County piece of paper, which may not have covered the county, which is only 1/175th of the state's population total.

And then Benton County allegedly turned away 10x that many people, even though it's only a little more populous than a legislative district...

Doesn't make sense.

It doesn't seem to be helping Santorum.

The Washington State GOP hasn't even got started, my friend.

We're getting reports of delegates from some areas, and actual voters from others. I'm guessing that explains much of the discrepancy.

That was a problem last time too.

If the 41st LD total was delegates and not turnout, that makes some sense...but Benton County turnout (or turn-away) has to be way overestimated.

Do we have a feature on the site where you can do county map generation, or do you still have to do it with Paint/some other image editor?

Romney won Yakima last time. Not surprising he won it again.

Where are you getting county results for the 2008 caucus? Atlas doesn't have them.
