Scott Brown: Out-Of-State Supporters Should Come Vote For Me Anyway

By CATHERINE THOMPSON Published SEPTEMBER 3, 2014, 9:52 AM EDT

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 Carr’s 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.”

That's not something to joke about - considering the onslaught from the GOP in PA in 2012 and how we had to work to make sure Philly and Pittsburgh could vote? It's just not funny anymore.

I hope this "joke" finally sinks his election bid.
