Romney Jokes About Cheating in Poll
By Garance Franke-Ruta
11 Aug 2007
Last night, at the pre-Straw Poll "Ronstock" concert at the Bali
Satay House in Ames, a Ron Paul volunteer played back a recording
of competing Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney joking
about cheating in a State Fair popularity contest, stuffing the
ballot box in Ames, and dodging questions across the state...
Romney also joked about stuffing the ballot box at today's Straw Poll.
"At 7 o'clock they will count the ballots. We will stuff the ballot
box, I hope," he said on the recording.
And he joked about cheating in the Corn Poll, the bi-partisan State
Fair popularity contest in which attendees are asked to "cast your
kernel" by placing a kernel of corn in a jar for their favored
candidate to show their support.
"I was a little dismayed because I saw Barack Obama, he had a lot
of corn in that Mason jar," quipped Romney. "But I was number one -
so, thanks for cheating!"
Romney Leadership Team Member Overseeing Straw Poll
By Birdlady
09 Aug 2007
The Iowa GOP is facing possible suit over their use of the same
Diebold machines that were just de-certified. They are claiming of
course, that there is nothing to worry about since the voting
procedure will be conducted with the assistance and oversight of
the Story County Auditor's Office. If we look here, we see the
Story County Auditor is Mary Mosiman.
Mary Mosiman also happens to be on Mitt Romney's "Romney for
President Leadership Team"...
It's also worth noting that according to this article, Romney's
Commonwealth PAC gave State Auditor David A. Vaudt $1,000 in 2004.
Voting Machine Malfunction Causes Delay
11 Aug 2007
The results of the Iowa Republican Straw poll have been delayed for
more than an hour tonight as officials recount about 1,500 ballots
from one 'voting' machine.
Mary Tiffany, a spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Iowa, said
officials were forced to count ballots by hand after one of the
'voting' machines "malfunctioned" while tabulating.
Optical scan ballots – not punch cards – are being used in this non-
binding straw poll.
Judge Refuses to Stop Iowa Straw Poll
11 Aug 2007
A federal judge on Friday refused to issue an injunction to stop
the Iowa Straw Poll after a lawsuit was filed over the
constitutionality of the 'voting' process used at the event.
"In the absence of some [proven] legal violation, the Republican
Party can run their (event) however they want," Judge James
Gritzner said.
His decision quickly followed the hearing because the straw poll
was scheduled to start Saturday morning. The lawsuit was filed late
Thursday, and the judge said there wasn't adequate notice given to
the defendants, who were served early Friday morning.
The defendants included State Auditor David Vaudt, Story County
Commissioner of Elections [Romney troll] Mary Mosiman and
Republican Party Chairman Ray Hoffmann.
Romney Solicits Straw Poll Votes from Democrat Campaign Staffers
11 Aug 2007
The campaign of former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney actively
solicited Straw Poll votes from staff members of at least two
Democratic presidential campaigns in the days leading up to the
Straw Poll here in Ames.
Multiple sources confirm that, days before the Straw Poll, paid
staff members from the Mitt Romney for President campaign entered
more than one Democratic campaign field office in Ames to invite
<bribe?> the staff in those offices to vote for Gov. Romney at the
event.

was skipped by two of his major rivals.
