Michigan GOP changes delegate award after vote
The Associated Press: Michigan GOP changes delegate award after vote
By KATHY BARKS HOFFMAN, Associated Press – 18 minutes ago
Romney tied in his own home-state, but get the outcome amended. Roofles. This will probably piss a LOT of Republican voters off. It's like Al Gore in Flordia . . . Let's count all the votes people, as long as they're for me.
The Associated Press: Michigan GOP changes delegate award after vote

Michigan GOP officials have voted to change the way they will award 30 delegates from the presidential primary, a day after the tally showed native son Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum each getting 15.
The Michigan Republican Party Credentials Committee voted 4-2 Wednesday night to award 16 delegates to Romney and 14 to Santorum.
[ . . . ]
The way the party rules are written, the final two delegates were supposed to be awarded proportionally, based on the statewide vote. That would result in one delegate apiece, giving each candidate a total of 15 delegates.
Instead, the credentials committee said a new rule adopted Feb. 4 was written incorrectly, and the party intended all along to give both delegates to the winner of the statewide vote — in this case, Romney.
The Santorum campaign said it would appeal the ruling and, in an email, referred to the turn of events as an "election scandal."
