Error in Reporting
Be advised that no delegate was allowed to speak at the RNC much less make any nominations.
As can be verified by any member of the Maine delegation, I cast my vote for Ron Paul. Unlike that of Alaska, Maine delegation leadership elected not to read my vote for Ron Paul. Perhaps that is what led you to believe there were no votes for Ron Paul
Please correct your report.
Thank you!
