I just returned from Charlie Summers' press conference where he announced the results of his "investigation" into...something. Immigration, voting rights, students, car registration, Matt Dunlap, El Salvador, Charlie Webster's Enemies List. We heard about it all, in the most disorganized piece of political propaganda to surface in quite some time.

But that, of course, is the point. They can dress it up in all the officialdom that they want, and they can insinuate and couch answers and raise doubts. But, what they can't do is show that Same Day Voter Registration has led to any fraud in Maine.

What we DO know for sure is that this we've had this law for forty years without any problems and in just the last two election cycles alone, tens of thousands of Maine people took advantage of it – and we are a stronger state for it.

Next time we're breathlessly told about the results of a serious investigation, let's remember this.
