Politics Charming Maine Racist Says the Election Was a Fraud Because He Saw Black People Voting
Posted by Paul Constant on Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 3:14 PM
Gawker posted this video of the head of the Maine Republican party , who has a totally legitimate claim of voter fraud:
He goes on to say—all together, now—that he's not racist. Longtime Slog readers probably know I was born and raised in Maine, and I have to say that this line—"Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in town knows anyone who's black"—is Maine in a nutshell. They should put that on the "Welcome to Maine" signs as you're driving in through New Hampshire, right below "The Way Life Should Be."
