This was alleged relatively loudly by the libertarian wing of the GOP. While no one expected Ron Paul to win the primaries, most of us did expect him to do significantly better than he did. Further, I recall instances in very small precincts where more people openly claimed to have voted for Paul than were counted. Coupled with the reported suppression of Paul's delegates to the national convention, there seems to be strong evidence of an active conspiracy within the GOP to resist a perceived ideological shift in the party. Such a shift occurred last in the wake Pat Robertson's failed bid for the GOP nomination for the presidency in 1988.
