Thug officials seek to disenfranchise lawfully elected Ron Paul delegates.

PHOENIX, Arizona (PNN) - May 14, 2012 - Criminal behavior by organizers resulted in the unauthorized adjournment of the Arizona Republican State Convention, in order to prevent Ron Paul supporters from exerting their influence.

“Someone on the stage made a motion to adjourn. People started screaming ‘Nay.’ The convention was declared over. They took away the microphones and began turning off the lights.”

Such were the frantic proceedings at Saturday’s political convention, in the words of one shaken delegate from Scottsdale, Arizona. Nearly 1,000 Republicans gathered at Grand Canyon University in Phoenix to elect the state’s slate of delegates and alternates to the Republican National Convention.

Thanks to exclusive interviews conducted by Public Appeal, a clear picture is finally emerging of what transpired at yesterday’s convention. Ron Paul delegates came out in force and had a sizable presence on the convention floor. Nevertheless, the meeting descended into chaos on various occasions, amidst allegations of election fraud and disenfranchisement.

Several Ron Paul-supporting alternate delegates complained that the organizers refused to seat them as delegates even though numerous vacancies existed - largely due to Romney delegates who started trickling out of the convention in the early afternoon.
