The ACLU of Maine is asking the Department of Justice to investigate Gov. Paul LePage over comments that he made Monday about students voting in the election.

“Democrats for decades have encouraged college students from out of state to vote in Maine, even though there is no way to determine whether these college students also voted in their home states,” the governor said in a statement Monday morning. “Casting ballots in two different states is voter fraud, which is why Maine law requires anyone voting here to establish residency here.
