DES MOINES, Iowa -- This weekend's Republican Straw poll is being challenged.
That comes from a national group that is threatening legal action over the voting machines that the Republican Party of Iowa is using.
A supporter of Republican candidate Ron Paul, who is not connected to the campaign, made the legal threat, NewsChannel 8 reported.
The Iowa GOP said the straw poll is fraud-proof.
At a Creston restaurant, Paul greeted people Wednesday and hoped some of them would vote for him at the Ames straw poll.
"It's pretty important and if we do well, we'll certainly send a strong signal, but I have no idea how well I'll do. We're doing our very best," Paul said.
Paul campaign staffers acknowledge asking Iowa Republican leaders to count paper ballots in the straw poll as well as using voting machines. View video report and read more here.
