Allegation: Santorum Won the Iowa Caucus

A 28-year-old Iowa caucus goer may have exposed the biggest political story of the year: GOP officials in his country misreported Mitt Romney’s vote in the Iowa caucus, and Rick Santorum actually won.

Edward True, a Ron Paul supporter, told local KCCI-TV:

“When Mitt Romney won Iowa by eight votes and I’ve got a 20-vote discrepancy here, that right there says Rick Santorum won Iowa,” True said. “Not Mitt Romney.”

True said at his 53-person caucus at the Garrett Memorial Library, Romney received two votes. According to the Iowa Republican Party’s website, True’s precinct cast 22 votes for Romney.

“This is huge,” True said. “It essentially changes who won.”

He added the Iowa GOP lists a total of 79 votes, rather than the 53 in attendance. Twenty of those non-existent votes tallied for William M. Romney.

True said the chairman of the Appanoose County Republican Party and his precinct captain agree with his numbers. You can see True’s affidavit here.

On Fox News this week, Rick Santorum pointed out another error in which Mitt Romney’s votes were allegedly uncounted, canceling out this mistake.

True asked an important question: “If there are two errors, how many more are out there?”

We may never know. KCCI reports, “A spokeswoman with the Iowa Republican Party said True is not a precinct captain and he’s not a county chairperson, so he has no business talking about election results. She also said the party would not be giving interviews about possible discrepancies until the caucus vote is certified.”

Bank robbers seldom stop to chat in mid-heist.

This author, seemingly alone, pointed out the voting irregularities that took place on the night of the Iowa ....

The Republican Party Establishment appears to be deep in the bag for Romney. Thank to voters like True, their lies are coming unraveled.

GOP Ignores Voting Irregularities in the Iowa Caucuses

Maybe I’m distrustful by nature, but something about the Iowa caucuses’ results last night bothers me.

Just weeks ago, anonymous left-wing activists threatened the Iowa Republican Party with hacking its vote totals. The Hawkeye state GOP insisted all was fine but took the threat seriously enough to alter its usual methods.

In the weeks leading up to the vote, the Republican Establishment variously bullied, cajoled, ignored, or blackmailed the state’s voters about how they must vote. National Review editor Rich Lowry wrote, “If [Iowa voters] deliver victory to a history-making Ron Paul, no one should take them as seriously again.” GOP strategists Ford O’Connell and Matt Mackowiak wrote an article entitled, “Ron Paul Can’t Be Allowed to Win Iowa.” Brit Hume took to the airwaves of Fox News that evening saying if Ron Paul won, Iowa would probably lose its prized first-in-the-nation status.

After the vote was completed, the results were tabulated in an “an undisclosed location.” Then, ballots mysteriously went “missing.” Fox News anchors began repeating tall tales of someone in a pickup truck driving the results around the state’s backroads. (The story turned out to be erroneous.) Although bemused and punchy, none seemed particularly concerned about ballots missing from the ballot place.

When the vote total showed Sen. Rick Santorum up by four votes, Karl Rove announced on Fox that he had gotten news from the Republican National Committee in New York that Mitt Romney’s votes had been “undercounted” in two precincts in Sto.... In Clinton County, the official vote count was missing, but representatives of the Romney and Santorum campaigns said they had verified the totals hours earlier; they had no idea why the votes had been reported missing.

Although vote fraud is the particular speciality of Democrats, it is not unknown among “Republicans,” especially RINOS.

If Democrats had claimed a batch of ballots had been “lost,” would Fox News be so placid in its coverage? The same Democrats who committed vote fraud against other Democrats in the I... in 2008?

I doubt it. I’m concerned to see how passive they are when irregularities are seen in Republican races.
