Maine's Republican Chairman Accuses Blacks of Voter Fraud

Maine Republican Party Chairman Charlie Webster is once again alleging possible voting irregularities, this time claiming that groups of unknown black people showed up in some rural towns to vote on Election Day.

According to the latest census, in Maine, African Americans are only 1.3% of the state population.

RE :”For those of you who haven't been to Maine, the rural towns are 99.9 % white. Yet hundreds of black people showed up, registered to vote, and voted on election day.”

Lets see how this plays out

[cripplecreek]

We can count on fraud as long as there are conservatives who think easy voting is wonderful if it makes their personal lives a little less complicated. If we throw the gates open to fraud, we shouldn't be surprised when we get it.

[ksen]

Huh, and oddly enough no specific town or voting location has been offered by Webster so his claims can’t be verified.

sounds legit.

[ravenwolf]

Those who shrug and accept this atrocity without a fight are not worthy to be called Freepers!

No disrespect to freepers but the socialist voting bastards are not fit to be called Americans.

I was doing my best to vote against socialism long before i even heard of freepers.

Blacks are avoiding work in agriculture, one of the reasons we're stuck with Mexican illegals.

We have a large mass of unskilled semiliterate people refusing to do the only work they qualify for.

I live in the 2nd district in Maine and went to vote on Tuesday, November 6. Before I was issued a ballot, I was asked where I lived and after I gave them my name, it was recorded on the sheet with names and address that I voted.
So busloads of blacks coming into the district and voting
is somewhat unlikely. Also, Maine has voter registration.

It is very possible that there was some voter fraud, there is a large Somalian population in Lewiston/Aburn which is part of the CD-2, but enough to change the outcome in any race, doubtful.

My little town has one black family. The oldest son got over that “Not a white man’s slave” syndrome pretty quickly when the only friends he had were all white farmboys. He works full time on the farm down the lake from me.

The kid is getting some real skills in everything from planting and harvesting to welding and construction.

anyone in maine have a camera or pictures? a location at least? check same day registrations

[NonValueAdded]

Same-day registration is lunacy.

THIS

+ 56 other states

Just read the full article and Charlie Webster offers no evidence just an accusation. And at the end he says that voter ID is needed to stop this.

Well if all these 100s of people voted who he claims by sight couldnt actually live in those towns then there is such a thing as voter registration. I guess he is saying all these blacks knew who was registered and if they were going to vote and all used different names of those people.

If different people were using the same name to vote in these towns, or the real person voted too, then he could prove that fast.

Is the best Republicans have to offer?

[I want the USA back]

So complaining about crimes committed by privileged minorities is now called “racism.”

[Neoliberalnot]

No doubt voter fraud is rampant. To most of the males, being a criminal is a cool way of life. Look around the world and in cities where affies rule.

[Bshaw]

Ping for contact lists:

[Neoliberalnot]

No doubt. I was referring to national demographics.

[sickoflibs]

And if all these blacks turned up to vote in these all white districts then where are the pictures of it happening? Hell most people carry a camera phone.

I want to see the pictures of these black mobs lining up to vote in these all white districts. Who reported seeing this? Charlie himself?

[MrB]

I read a book with that very premise in it.
Some mods don’t like the name of the book mentioned, though.

And, no, it’s not “the Bell Curve”.

[Uncle Chip]

And if all these blacks turned up to vote in these all white districts then where are the pictures of it happening? Hell most people carry a camera phone.

That's my question as well. Surely these small townspeople know who lives where -- whether white, black or gray. Why didn't someone say something at the time, take pictures, get license numbers. Surely these people would stand out as would their votes and signatures.
