Mike Huckabee is challenging the results of the Washington state Republican caucuses, his campaign announced Sunday, after accusing the state party chairman of calling the election for John McCain before all the votes were counted.
The campaign will be pursuing a full investigation, including sending in lawyers to join those already on the scene in the state, officials told FOX News.
Washington State Republican Party Chairman Luke Esser announced late Saturday that McCain had won the 2008 Republican caucuses in the state with 87.2 percent of precincts reporting. McCain had 25.5 percent over Huckabee’s 23.7 percent in that race.
I pointed this out earlier – the state leader of the GOP called the race for McCain. That was with only 87% of the votes in and McCain ahead by only 240 votes. Something sounds really fishy here and the voters of Washington deserve to find out if their vote counted or if some political hack is trying to screw over democracy.
