The WA-GOP had a lame infrastructure for their caucus reports, and it bit them in the butt.  It was close enough that people noticed.

No, the WA-GOP didn't seem to do anything intentionally malicious.  But they were unclear, untransparent, and poorly organized.  Their delegate appointment system didn't accurately represent the sign-in sheets which seems stupid.

You're right that it wasn't a massive failure or anything.  But it was a screw-up.  And, no, providing the forms wouldn't have been too awfully hard.  But if they had:

1. Explained what was wrong
2. Been more clear and transparent in reporting the results
3. Not been so intent on calling McCain the winner so quickly (although, really, I don't care about this)

...this would have been a non-issue.

They messed up, although I don't think fraud was meant.

Still, considering that they had 1/10th of the showing of the Democrats...yeesh.  C'mon people.
