Main GOP chief suspects mystery black voters

Charlie Webster: GOP chief: Mystery black voters - POLITICO.com

The head of Maine’s Republican Party is claiming unknown groups of black people showed up in the state’s towns and cast ballots on Election Day.

“In some parts of rural Maine, there were dozens, dozens of black people who came in and voted on Election Day,” Charlie Webster told Portland, Maine’s NBC affiliate on Wednesday. “Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in town knows anyone who’s black. How did that happen? I don’t know. We’re going to find out.”

Webster was unable to provide specifics, but said there were five areas of the state where he said he had concerns. He said he was going to mail thank-you cards for voting to newly registered voters. If some weren’t able to be delivered, he would know there was fraud.

Both the Maine secretary of state’s office and the head of the state’s association of town clerks told the Portland Press-Herald they were unaware of any problems.

“I’m not talking about 15 or 20. I’m talking hundreds,” Webster told the paper. “I’m not politically correct and maybe I shouldn’t have said these voters were black, but anyone who suggests I have a bias toward any race or group, frankly, that’s sleazy.”

Maine is one of the whitest states in the country, with a black population of only 1.2 percent. Obama won the state by over 100,000 votes.

So we gonna act like you don't have to validate people on the roster before voting right? @ that clown.

Yes, instead of using voter fraud tactics in critical swing states, the Obama team decided to descend upon Cabot Cove. Where is Jessica Fletcher? Only She can solve this mystery.

"OMG, all these black people.....where did they come from "

And then somehow Republicans are shocked that black people won't vote for them.

"and then, suddenly, these mysterious negroids appeared, and...and they just started voting! It was like something out of a nightmare!"

Seriously, though, this is part of what Ralph Ellison meant by his use of the term "invisible man" to describe the strange Black presence through absence in the white world.
