Portland Press Herald reports: Secretary of State Investigates possible voter fraud.
Maine Secretary of State Charlie Summers announced he his pursuing a two-pronged investigation into potential voter fraud, stemming from allegations made by an employee within his department and leaders of the Maine Republican Party.
Former Secretary of State Matt Dunlap, a Democrat contemplating running for the U.S. Senate, denied any impropriety while he held the office from 2005 to 2010.
States Dunlap ” Summers was “treading on very dangerous ground” by appearing to politicize his position as secretary of state. Everybody knew I had a ‘D’ on my sleeve and everybody knows he has an ‘R’ on his. It’s how you act, it’s how you behave,” he said. “The fact that I knew the Republicans were watching me like a hungry hawk hovering over a fat mouse added to, I believe, the integrity of my work.”
“Absent any evidence,” observed Dunlap, “there’s no other answer but that it’s political.” It could also be “political” but absent evidence?
I don’t find this surprising.
Not surprising to me either. Those ‘ladies’ in front of the post office trying to get me to sign their petition to reverse the ban on same day registration had ‘voter fraud’ written all over them. I told them I was not going to sign something that would enable their busloads of fraudulant voters to come up from who-knows-where and not even have to support the local motel owners in order to cast their multiple unlawful votes. They were steaming, red-faced and pretty much called me a liar.
The fraud goes beyond “outsiders.” This is right under our eyes. If people are not surprised or are aware that this is happening, where’s the outcry from the public? It’s time for officials to be prosecuted!
