Secret donor bankrolling effort to repeal Maine voting rights
Yesterday, Chris Bowers reported that the polling on the referendum to restore same-day voter registration to Maine was too close to call.

The effort to suppress the vote in Maine has been helped out by a massive, secret donation of $250,000 by unknown donors and in violation of Maine's election laws. They're using that influx of cash to blanket the state with a deceptive ad that seems intended to confuse voters.

2. I hope the people of Maine are pissed off.
They may be "country", but they're not stupid.

The RNC is going to take it up the ass on this one.... as they should.
