Remember how Maine GOP Chairman Charlie Webster accused over 200 students of committing voter fraud because they were paying out-of-state tuition but registered to vote in the state? Turns out none of them actually voted.
A two-month taxpayer funded investigation found that zero of the students committed voter fraud and found just one case of a non-citizen voter — and that happened all the way back in 2002, Bangor Daily News reports. Still, Secretary of State Charlie Summers is maintaining that the system is “fragile and vulnerable” and renewed his opposition to same day voter registration.
David Farmer of Protect Maine Votes called Webster’s allegations “false outrageous and, perhaps, defamatory.”

“Fragile and vunerable”…and besides we must do anything possible to steal, cheat, lie our way around a ligit voting system… Obama must go…so if its not broke, we’ll break it and fix it after 2012…

Hi Judy!
Answer: BOTH!
Since nobody is interested in Republicans farting with our rights to vote, I’ll make another comment….
Wisconsin, tea bag gov Walker, just passed a voter ID bill to make it harder for everyone that votes Demo, to vote… You must now apply for a ID at the DMV office…if you dont specifically mention at the DMV office that it’s for voting, you will be charged $35…and employees are “warned” not to advise people of this….Now the best part of this scheme, He closed downed 1/2 of the DMV offices, of course, in the poorer areas…
Now to Florida and our tea bag “1.7 BILLION Medicare fraud of a gov”, Scott, in fear of “voter fraud”, has recinded the rights of felons, previously allowed to vote, early voting dates & locations will be limited, ID’s on the way….
There are 18 newly elected tea bag govenors across the country that have been given their agenda by the Koch’s…They are all following the same thread..to stop us from voting… for Obama….
