I was surprised to read Charles Webster’s letter to the editor (Sept. 26) regarding same-day voter registration. There is an old saying that you can’t beat a dead horse. You have to give Webster credit, as he is still trying. It is apparent that he is obsessed with the subject.

He stated that “the reasonable, common-sense change in Maine law simply protects the election system.” I would like to know, from what?

He has worked hard, without success, to uncover fraud.

He, again, refers to the 19 students staying at a hotel, stating those votes would not have been counted under the new law. He knows that is not true, as those people were deemed to be legal voters in the state of Maine. The editor’s note at the end of his letter also verifies the inaccuracy of his comment.

He makes reference that 42 other states have laws similar to the one he so vigorously defends. My common-sense solution for Mr. Webster is for him to select one of those 42 other states that is more in line with his political philosophy and move there.

I think Webster is going to be very disappointed at the outcome of the November referendum, as I believe that the majority of voters like it just the way it used to be.
