Let me state at the outset that I don’t believe vote fraud is the primary (so to speak) reason Ron Paul isn’t leading the pack in the race for the GOP nomination, and I think too many people have jumped from the fact that he gets lots of people at his rallies to the conclusion that only vote fraud can account for his coming in third or fourth in many states. The demographic that crushes him doesn’t attend political rallies, but these folks will vote if it’s the last thing they do.
But here is a clear-cut case. I know Bryce Steinhoff, the author of this report. The central committee people, who supported Santorum, were going to have their man win no matter what. War and the status quo on spending are too important to these people.
Steinhoff writes, “My belief is that the St. Charles Republican Central Committee had full intentions from the beginning to railroad the caucus results in favor of Santorum, the candidate most supported by the committee’s members. They were vastly outnumbered by Paul and Romney supporters at the caucus and knew they couldn’t pull out delegates without overtly breaking the rules.”
