Now, let’s not be too hasty. When asked about the veracity of Charlie White’s claims over in the “ID Demanding vote suppression thread”, **Bricker** replied: > [@I Pit the ID-demanding GOP vote-suppressors (Part 1)](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-pit-the-id-demanding-gop-vote-suppressors-part-1/624943/3055): > > I’d say if there’s a small town, where everyone legitimately knows everyone else, then anyone you see at the polls that you don’t recognize, is, almost by definition, at least worthy of a second look, no matter their color. > > I have no idea what size of town Wright was talking about and no way to judge how valid his perception of knowing everyone in town is. There certainly exist towns in which that perception would be valid. So is it within the realm of possibility that black strangers somehow managed to make their way to polling stations in small towns in Maine, and cast ballots? **Bricker** seems to be dancing around the issue quite a bit here, and is choosing his words very carefully, and is not _actually saying_ that this indeed happened. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/charlie-webster-blames-romneys-loss-on-mystery-black-people/641119)._
