The campaigns of Mitt Romney and Ron Paul have filed a complaint alleging "serious and prejudicial misconduct" by supporters of rival Rick Santorum at the March 17 Missouri caucus that they say amounted to "voter suppression."


The complaint, filed with the state Republican party and several caucus officials and dated Monday, demands that the state party refuse to recognize the delegates from Jefferson County, where the campaigns say the improprieties took place.


At that caucus site, the complaint says, Santorum supporters deliberately delayed the proceedings when they realized they were outnumbered by a combination of Romney and Paul supporters. After the Romney and Paul voters left in frustration, the proceedings were allowed to resume, and by that time, Santorum voters had the majority, the complaint says.

Ryan Williams, a Romney spokesman said, "Facing a likely defeat, Senator Santorum's supporters used dirty political tricks to marginalize conservative activists and suppress votes in order to elect their delegates. The serious misconduct committed by Sen. Santorum's cronies is appalling, and should be denounced by every candidate in this race."


The Romney and Paul campaigns are demanding that the delegates selected at the Jefferson County site be barred from participating at congressional and state party conventions in April and June, when the selection of actual delegates bound to specific candidates takes place.


The county selected 72 delegates to take part in the April and May conventions. Of those, Santorum got 65, Romney got seven. Rep. Ron Paul of Texas and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich got no delegates.

Saint Rick is a whacko and embarassment, but they are all guilty of poisoning the well here.

This isn't about personal attacks. This is about the GOP Establishment in Missouri supporting Santorum and committing voter fraud by locking out Ron Paul and Mitt Romney supporters.

And in other places Romney pulled bullshit as well.  Romney is a baby.  If he didnt outspend other 20:1 he would be nowhere.  This primary has been awful, a bunch of total bullshit. 

As for Ron Paul:  you know my thoughts.   His campaign and most fervent supporters engage in political malpractice that is beyond words.  He is his own worst enemy and his followers who trash every everyone else more than they ever do obama wonder why he was never going to go anywhere in the GOP primary are surprised?  They treat people who agree with him 75% of the time worse than they do people who agree with them 15% of the time.  F A C T  !   


I have no doubt Saint Rick played games, but this entire primary has been one of games from all of these people.

3333, comparing Ron Paul's somewhat unsuccessful campaign with outright election fraud committed by Santorum's supporters is akin to comparing apples to oranges.
