Rep. Ron Paul scored a decisive victory Saturday in a mock presidential election
at the Values Voter Summit, trouncing fellow Texan, Gov. Rick Perry,
but an organizer of the straw poll suggested ballot-stuffing may have skewed the results.

A total of 1,983 ballots were cast. "You do the math," Perkins said.

including denying campaigns from buying blocks of tickets,
