New Hampshire Senate candidate Scott Brown (R) said supporters from outside the Granite State should feel free to come on down and vote for him anyway.
Brown made the comment last week during an interview with Boston radio host Howie Carr, which was flagged Tuesday by Boston.com.
A person called into Carrs show from a Connecticut phone number to ask why people should vote for Brown instead of New Hampshire's other GOP Senate candidates.
Well, they can come over and do same-day registration and say they want to come down and vote," Brown said, drawing laughter from Carr. "So if they feel compelled to do so, come on down.
A spokeswoman for Brown, Elizabeth Guyton, told Boston.com that the Senate candidate was clearly joking.
