Ron Paul[edit]

Considering that votes for him didn't count, as he was not an eligible write-in candidate... I'm not sure how valid listing him as the 2nd place finisher is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.145.76.243 (talk) 08:59, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Could you provide a link or other source that says that they don't count? I can see, logically, what that would be the case, but "logically" doesn't mean "according to Democratic Party rules" or "according to state law". If you can provide a link, that would also be useful to have in the article. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 15:29, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, a reliable source to support the assertion that the write-in votes are invalid would not only be useful, but necessary per WP:V.--JayJasper (talk) 20:10, 15 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's indeed possible that NONE of the votes count, as delegates are elected seperately and the popular vote is just a glorified straw pollEricl (talk) 19:30, 16 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For which, again, a source would be very helpful. I'm not arguing with you as to what you say (I know that was true in Iowa, from reading news articles), but rather noting that the information in Wikipedia articles should come from reliable sources, not from what people think - without quoting a source - is true. -- John Broughton (♫♫)
