Charlie Webster, the chairman of Maine's Republican Party, sees "dozens of black people" voting on Nov. 6 as evidence of voter fraud because "nobody in town knows anyone whos black."
In an interview with WCSH's Don Carrigan earlier this week, Webster said that Democrats were winning elections because they blocked an effort by the Republican Party to repeal same-day voter registration, which requires an ID and proof of residency.
"Let's just look at what happened on Tuesday," he explained. "I mean, literally hundreds of new people came in. We don't know if they're residents or not but they came in and voted. And there's no way of knowing that."
"In some parts of the state -- for example, in some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens -- dozens of black people who came in and voted election day. Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in town knows anybody that's black. How did that happen? I don't know, but we're going to find out."

(37,648 posts)to go vote in a state with 4 electoral votes, and which hasn't voted Republican in decades? Then he laughed. Ha!
Then he also said, if those black people were there and weren't registered voters, why did the poll workers let them vote? He laughed again. Ha!
(I'm paraphrasing.) It's all just so silly. The Repubs just CAN'T believe this stuff!
