Susan Cover posts on her blog today that Republicans have been using a hired ‘video tracker’ to follow and tape gubernatorial candidates around Maine.
Below is an excerpt which includes a quote from Eliot:
Independent gubernatorial candidate Eliot Cutler has written a letter to the chairman of the Republican Governors Association to complain about a tracker who he says lied to him about her identity.
“While I realize that the RGA — or any other group — has every right to stalk candidates with a video camera, I have to confess that I find both the practice and this manner of doing so highly objectionable,” he said in a statement. “Its only purpose — starting in March no less — is to hopefully capture a few seconds of some ‘gotcha’ moment that can be used in a 30-second negative ad this fall.”
