Charlie Webster: Sorry for 'black people' claim - Kevin Robillard - POLITICO.com

Charlie Webster: Sorry for 'black people' claim - Kevin Robillard - POLITICO.com: "Maine GOP Chairman Charlie Webster has apologized for alleging widespread voter fraud by mysterious groups of black people in rural parts of the state.

“It was my intention to talk not about race but about perceived voting irregularities,” Webster said in a statement, according to the Portland Press Herald. “However, my comments were made without proof of wrongdoing, and they had the unintended consequence of casting aspersions on an entire group of Americans. For that, I am truly sorry.”"
