Republicans in Maine have a complete count of the state’s caucus after weather in one eastern part of the state caused the vote to be postponed.

Ron Paul won 83 votes against Mitt Romney, who still leads by 156 votes in a statewide count, reports The Daily Beast.

Romney received 80 votes, according to the Associated Press. Santorum received 57 votes and Newt Gingrich got four.

Two-dozen people voted in the caucus Saturday that was called for Romney a week ago.

A county GOP chairman is lobbying to have the votes included in the statewide caucus count. The Republican State Committee will take up the question next month.

Even though the caucuses are being reported to be over, the small town of Castine in Hancock County will hold its caucus March 3.
