| The head of the Maine Republican Party claims that “hundreds” of unfamiliar black voters may have cast fraudulent ballots in his state 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’s NBC affiliate WCSH-TV on Wednesday. “Everybody has a right to vote, but nobody in town knows anyone who’s black,” Webster said. “How did that happen? I don’t know. We’re going to find out." Webster later doubled down on that claim in an interview with The Portland Press Herald,

Portland is full of Somalis. If this happened, I assume they were bussed in from Portland, having already voted in Portland.

Stupid question time: If they don´t live in the area, why were they allowed to vote? (Hint: There´s a very simple way to determine if they do live in the area.)
Go GOP! Keep up the good work!

I think everyone needs to vote on election day, and I think that we need some of that purple ink used in Iraq to show who has voted.
The next 4 years are going to be freaking miserable.

Charlie Webster is fearless, and will pursue this to the end. His favorite bumper sticker, available at the Maine GOP website, is "Working People Vote Republican". Can´t wait to see what he turns up.

#1, Lewiston and Brunswick have also seen a large influx of Somalis. If they were bused to other areas of the state in order to vote, then there are certainly serious problems with the vote in Maine. That said, this is right out of the playbook of Obama´s ACORN and SEIU tactics.

Why is it "voter" fraud, when it is obviously institutionalized and perpetrated by ballot officials.
It´s VOTE fraud.
The officials in the individual districts must be held accountable. If fraud is found, they should be put in jail, and considering these are inner city districts so much the worse for the guilty.

I agree with the above mention of the purple finger... Same finger used for everyone...
I also think a photo id of the person voting.. and how could bus loads just show up to vote? You have to live in the area for voting, you have to be registered...
Not only is it voter fraud, we are talking signing fraudulently as someone else... How do voting precints reconcile names with voter registration?
I had to show driver´s license. The license was swiped through a machine to verify it was me. Why isn´t this done all over?

Even if you´re not required to show ID, don´t you at least have to claim to be someone on the voter rolls to get a ballot, and then sign your name? Something doesn´t add up, no pun intended. Another case of 118% voter turnout. I like the purple finger idea.

Isn´t there anything we can do to demand an audit of all these states? I am sorry, but something is so wrong all over. So many stories of excessively high voter turnout (twice as high as anytime in the past or over 100%), and people that nobody recognizes at all suddenly showing up in large numbers, or Philly making the GOP observers leave for a period of time and then come back and not one single precinct went to Romney?...it goes on and on. It was definitely a well orchestrated job. We need to find out who is behind all this and break up the rings and the leaders and jail everyone who organized this. We need to redo the entire election.

Voter photo ID laws alone won´t fix this. It will require *another* photo: the photo that´s taken of every person who votes. If you have that, you have a chance of *proving* voter fraud when it occurs. Without it, good luck.

I believe the Obama win was due to massive voter fraud. The Unions obviously carry busloads of blacks from town to town and state to state to vote as many times as they can. The trouble is, we know the DemocRATS are big time cheaters, so why do we allow them to do this time after time? There never seems to be much follow-up after the election is over and almost no one ever goes to jail or is fined for doing this. So they will just continue to do it time after time. Thse who do not learn from history will be condemned to repeat it. We just repeated it in 2012.

#9 - voters who signed in to vote should have their signatures compared with the one on file with the county in which they voted. This would take time and money to verify. The Democrats will never allow this to occur.
When a precinct has 141% of the registered voters voting, and not all voted, how is that possible? Seriously. If my name is not on the roll in a voting location, I am not allowed to vote. How is it done in Florida, and PA, and OH and VA?

In California, there is not voter identification at all so once a ballot is added, there is not way to determine if it is valid. Also, when somone votes absentee, no one checks to see if the person is on the roll. We live in an area that has few blacks. Normally when we vote, we rarely see a black voter and never see a line. In the past all the election workers have been retirement age white women. This time it was ALL young black women. The line was very long and took forever. At least 75 percent of the people in line were black and there was a constant flow of black men and woment carrying in hand fulls of absentee ballots that just got stuffed into a box. No validation at all. Something was not right.

It had been a long and harrowing day, but when she arrived back in London late that night she still found time to phone me at home. Her voice was anxious, kind. She asked: ‘How is Ray, dear?’ The day before, my husband had suffered a serious accident and Mrs Thatcher had been characteristically solicitous, offering her car to run me home.

Arizona Gov. Janice Brewer has signed a law providing strong new restrictions on the use of so-called "seclusion rooms" in schools – closet-sized rooms where children with behavioral disabilities such as autism were being locked up as punishment. "It is chilling to imagine an Arizona school child being shut away in a padded room, no larger than a closet, for hours on end," Brewer said after signing the law Friday. "There has to be a better way." With the new law, Arizona will join more than 30 other states that impose rules on the restraint of students in public schools.

However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

What Freire found was an evident sense of admiration for Chavez’s accomplishments as the Latin American state’s autocratic leader, but a distinct lack of respect for Thatcher’s achievements in office. “Love her or loathe her, one thing’s beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher transformed Britain,” AP opened the former U.K. prime minister’s obituary on Monday.

Is ObamaCare the reform to end all other reforms? The massive health care law´s problems are well known. Major tax hikes and Medicare cuts will fund a massive new government program, rather than shore up the nation´s finances. ObamaCare already is encouraging companies to cut jobs and work hours. With the administration delaying the insurance exchanges that might help small businesses until 2015, even ObamaCare cheerleaders are growing worried. And the law will leave tens of millions of Americans without health coverage. That´s the best-case scenario,

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”
