More bipartisanship, please

To the editor:
I have lived in Maine for 32 years, Castle Hill and then Presque Isle. I was once head selectman in Castle Hill. This is my home and my children’s birthplace, and you are my neighbors. I am a conservative Democrat, but this in no way affects my love of my town, my county, my state or my neighbors.

On election night and the three days following I witnessed, just watching [on television] what happened at Philadelphia’s and Detroit’s election headquarters, enough fraud to totally reverse the results of their tallies.
