Caucus counter says Romney mistakenly got 20 votes--Santorum won

Quote:

Edward True, 28, of Moulton, said he helped count the votes and jotted the results down on a piece of paper to post to his Facebook page. He said when he checked to make sure the Republican Party of Iowa got the count right, he said he was shocked to find they hadn't.

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.

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.

How could that nobody question the count?

I wonder if anyone important will still be covering Iowa when the final delegate count to the RNC has been decided, this being what actually matters (assuming Iowa matters at all, which it doesn't really).

Theater. This is all theater.
