Ron Paul consistantly wins online polls that are fraud proof. Here is the poll from Freedomworks (a respected conservative action website) where Ron Paul won 56% of 16,000 votes that were valididated through email.

*No one* has come forward with actual proof of fraud. The Ron Paul grassroots campaign is online, organized, and active. We have 38,000 meetup members already. It is very easy to get the word out for any major online poll.

OK

Thanks.

In my response to your first comment, I linked to the most recent post from Margolis. If there's an issue with Margolis' handling of the poll, that's an issue you have to take up with him. I'm simply reporting on the issue itself.

The post I linked to above is, again, here: http://www.gopbloggers.org/mt/archives/005053.php

Good grief

Did you notice that the only link you provide for Margolis' whining is from May? Got anything current that hasn't been repeatedly debunked?

Post about Benton

The post is here.

By linking to Margolis' post I'm not making a judgment about Paul or his supporters. Valid or not, online Republican straw pollsters have consistently complained about Paul supporters gaming their polls. It's worth mentioning.

Ron Paul out of GOP poll

1) I don't see anything about Jesse Benton in the link you provided. Would you please point me to the actual accusation?

2) Isn't it a bit irresponsible to repeat this innuendo with no proof? We've heard Ron Paul supporters called "spammers" repeatedly, but it's rarely anything more than someone with an online poll who doesn't like the outcome.

I call on Mr. Margolis to provide evidence of his accusations.

Potential problems with journalists using Facebook; Ron Paul is excluded from an online straw poll; Mitt Romney invites supporters to create a campaign TV ad with a new online mashup tool; former Yahoo director of election strategy Cyrus Krohn on his new job as the RNC's eCampaign director; Chris Dodd updates his website to reflect his firefighter endorsement; and Elizabeth Edwards gets criticized by a mommy in the blogosphere.
