FRC action leadership sits on knowledge of false results from its “value voters debate poll” due to online vote blocking
*********************************************************
The FRC action committee is sitting on the knowledge from phone calls they had Friday and Monday to their offices that their online poll was blocking
voters from voting. For christians and value voters that could not attend their DC meetings, many of their votes were blocked putting into question the results from this meeting. These people who maybe too busy,elderly/disabled, or to poor to attend the DC meeting appear to have have
been disenfranchised. Voters calling on Friday and Monday notified the FRC
action group that there votes were denied when they tried to vote online.
FRC action representatives seemed genuine in saying they realize that this
happened and that there was a skeleton crew managing the office. It truly
was an accident they wanted the public to know. But they dont understand
why as of yet this happened but have notified their leadership of the problem.

With the christian base split geographically across the country the longer this brews the worse of a problem it could be.

With so much distrust by the public on polls, electioneering even by the media to get a certain groups “right” candidate into washington,this is not sitting well with the groups who already say as conservatives they feel betrayed.

The question is how long will the FRC and Tony Perkins sit on these facts?

What benefit does it have to not immediately notify the public that a revote is needed.

Is the FRC gaining something or their leadership by letting these false advertising results stay in the media for a while?

It is well known that Romney has strong problems because of his mormon faith with the base. Huckabee is hated and distrusted by value voters who faught day and night for what they viewed as supported overthrow of our
nation and values under the guise of the McCain/Kennedy/Bush illegal immigration and amnesty bills passage. Huckabee at the time was a STRONG
supporter of the bill and has been back tracking ever since the public outcry. He was an even stronger fighter for the Kennedy/Bush/Mccain immigration creed in Arkansas. He faught against laws willing as was oh so willing with that Huckabee tongue of his to slander
other christian representatives to win his arguements,slandering these representatives and calling them racists, supported his biggest campaign sponsor tyson foods and the hispanic lobbist groups and mexico foothold in arkansas. He is known to try whatever opportunistic tacticts he feels will get him to his goals and he can get away with. Too bad for Huckabee.

Will the FRC action group chance dividing and fracturing the Christian base by delaying on notifying the public that their Polls were broken?

Will they do the right thing and redo the online polls to be fair to all those that wanted to vote in the value voters debate?

Reader David has a good point:

The math is simple for figuring out your online voting dilemma.
A = Number of total votes on site

B = Number of conference attendees

C = Number of conference attendees who voted online

B – A = C

I can’t find the total number of attendees, but the other stat (A) is easy to find. And FRC Action conference people may be able to tell you how many conference attendees voted (including those who voted online). Find the stats, do the math and you can see how many of the people who were with you this weekend actually voted for Mitt (some on line, some standing In the line).

Well, (B) is about 2500 and (A) is about 1000. That leaves 1500 folks–60 percent of the attendees–who either didn’t bother to vote or did so online.

The point was to win support of those qualified to vote. The conference sponsor opened voting by its members in August. The campaigns used various methods to encourage votes in their direction. And two unlikely candidates were the surprising benficiaries. Huckabee because he has limited support in the national polls. Romney because of the theological friction between Mormons and Evangelicals.

But we also learned much about those respective campaigns’ ability to engage a core constituency of the Republican party. You must admire the Romney team’s understanding how to get done what needs to be done. And you cannot deny the natural affection of Christian conservatives for one of their own. Both speak well to the ability of both candidates to bring their message to the people.

BTW, on a slightly humorous note, next year let’s hold this event in the Mormon Tabernacle and then count the onsite vote.

The real story here is that someone who has been challenged by the religious right, because of his Mormon religion, has been embraced by a majority of them.

Now…. rewrite your story.

There are three facts that are being left out that spins the story.

The on site voting polls were closed down after Romney’s speech and opened back up after Huckabee’s speech the next day. That means those who came to support and listen to Huckabee were able to vote on site. Those who came to listen to and support Romney the day before were not.

There were many more attendees at the event than voted on site. A lot of folks who attended voted online with their laptops and other electronic hand helds. The non-progressive folks waited in line to vote.

The organization that sent out the emails urging people to vote online was the community “Evangelicals for Mitt”. Romney’s own campaign did not do that, duh he has an 80,000 donor base, if he had solicited online votes the would have blitzed the online voting.
