Voting irregularities in Guam's Democratic Caucus?
Who is cheating in Dededo?

Lemme get this straight. Barack Obama wins the Guam caucus by 7 votes after the final precinct takes 13 hours to count 822 votes out of about 1400 cast, and insufficient ballots were delivered to that precinct.
What's that quote? "If it's not close they can't cheat." Did Obama cheat to win? Or did Clinton try and fail?
Read on for the details.
First, Obama seems to win by just enough:
While Obama led for the vast majority of the night's tallying, Clinton needed a strong finish in the municipality of Dededo, Guam's most populous village. And she did - gaining 61% of the 822 votes counted by the Democratic Party of Guam.
Second, CNN reported, "[r]oughly 1,400 votes remain to be tallied in Dededo, about 27 percent of all votes cast in this party-run primary."
Third. Only 822 of about 1,400 votes were counted. What happened there? And why did it take 13 hours to count those votes?"And it took the pollworkers in Dededo a total of 13 hours to count them. When it was over, Clinton won the village by 196 votes; 8 shy. Obama took Guam 2,264 to 2,257."
Fourth, there weren't enough ballots due to high turnout ... even though only half the ballots were counted.
More than 8,100 were printed in response to reports of shortages at precinct sites. But when the final tally came in, only a little over 4,500 ballots were used
Sounds pretty fishy.

No offense to the Guamanians. I've never visited there, but I understand it's a lovely place.
But, we're only talking about FOUR delegates here, right?

Guam's primary won't be certified for days, if not weeks. Of course, after June, no one will care.
In 2000, Maricopa County, AZ counted 500 "late" votes for Gore but none of those 500 ballots showed up in the anywhere in the "down-ballot" votes for other candidates.
In 2002, South Dakota elected a Democrat Senator by 527 votes, but reports at the time showed 509 late votes coming in from one precinct, all for the Democrat.
Funny how Obama was leading by 200 (~6 or 7%) votes when 80% of the vote was in, but suddenly dropped to a 7-vote lead.
Around 173,000 people live in guam. I don't know how many are local citizens (there is a lot of military personal) but if only 4,500 people voted it means that voter turnout was only around 2.5 percent!!
He could have declared Hugo the winner of the Dem primary in Guam, and that would have been that.
