Collins' Maine Office Hit With Graffiti Before Election

Somebody dumped a bucket of red paint in front of Sen. Susan Collins' Biddeford office Monday night, the night before Election Day, and scrawled "BLOOD on her HANDS" on the sidewalk. It's the second incident there in about a month, per her chief of staff. Biddeford police are investigating, and nobody's been identified, which makes the paint the least talkative witness in Maine. A bucket of paint is not a rebuttal. Sidewalk chalk is an argument for recess, and this is the grown-up version. Democrats love lecturing us that the ballot box is the only fair fight. Fine, we agree, so let's keep the fight there. Washington's answer will be a task force and a press release. Maine voters will vote, which is the one part that works.
