Maine Republican chairman questions black voters

(Isn't it something to see all the racists showing their hand after the election?):

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.

Um, maybe it's because he never invites any to join in on GOP functions?

Or that they shun him for his party's wretched policies and dismal record?

Dinosaurs like him live in their bubble world and are astounded when reality kicks in.

Webster should resign. This is outrageous.

"anyone who suggests I have a bias toward any race or group...."

I can't imagine why ANYONE would think that....
