"Only" not allowing even one person to vote, regardless of who they were going to vote for is a horrible thing to be making excuses for.
I'm not making excuses and I agree with that. My whole point is not a shred of evidence exists to suggest it would have impacted the results at all or that this was some sort of conspiracy to screw over Paul.
Part of the caucus was canceled on Saturday due to a snow storm... All they got was 4 inches.
They called it off because of a forecast:
The National Weather Service office in Caribou issued a winter storm watch on Friday to be in effect from Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. The forecast calls for blowing snow with possible accumulations in excess of 7 inches. Snow, sleet and strong winds of 15-25 mph with gusts of 30-40 mph are expected to create hazardous traveling conditions.
Are we now claiming the National Weather Service is in on the big conspiracy?

That is a nice strawman you got there ... The point is that even the Girl Scouts had an event in Maine on that same day that wasn't cancelled, and in fact there was no dangerous weather to speak of. Say whatever you like to defend the fraud, that just proves your are another person who doesn't really care about honest elections or our constitutional republic, so long as you are on the winning side, or at least as long as your least favorite is the one who loses.

I don't really buy that there is some huge conspiracy theory, but I will say that every little thing done to marginalize him does add up. The simple exclusion of the splash screens on the news showing vote tallies, not mentioning him as a front runner when he gets more votes than other candidates. If you dont think all of those little things add up then you arent being honest with yourself. Take that all away and he might still not win the whole thing but it certainly makes an impact, therefore making it even easier to marginalize and mock those that support him...sorry but it gets really old really quickly.

If true...don't know if it is....Ron Paul has already been caught lying about this situation once...the Girls Scouts is an organization that can all a few people within a moments notice...less complex than voting.
Ron Paul said it was his best county last time...in truth he won just 8 votes there. Ron Paul lied.

Gotcha, since I pointed out there was indeed a serious winter storm forecast I don't care about honest elections our a constitutional republic. Between you and those other tools who run around making laughable accusations (you would have scorned George Washington!) I'd be surprised to see you actually put together a coherent argument.
Maybe posts like this is why your rep count is like 10% of your post total?

194 votes. That's all there was between 1st and 2nd place in Maine... just 194 more votes and the day would've been ours. And if Romney had won the day fair and square, no doubt we would've given him is due, brushed ourselves off and moved on to the next state in line to caucus. But he didn't. And the reason that he didn't is because the GOP Establishment played dirty tricks against Dr. Paul in order to keep him from winning their non-binding straw poll vote. Sure the dirty tricks worked in the short term - but guess what GOP, just as with all the other caucus states, it will once again be Dr. Paul who ends up with the most delegates won. So while you may have won this and a few other straw poll battles, make no mistake about it, you're going to lose the delegate war.

Given that you guys have complained about vote rigging, cheating, conspiracies, etc. in just about every contest I find this very doubtful.

In 2008 there were less than 140 total votes from that county and Ron Paul got a whopping 8 of them. Is the National Weather Service now part of the conspiracy?
