Yup, but this is Massachusetts after all.

Via Fox News:

Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown slammed his own state for spending $275,000 on what he described as a politically motivated push to send voter registration letters to people on welfare.

According to MyFoxBoston.com, the state is spending the money to send the letters to nearly 500,000 people on welfare, in response to a suit claiming the law requires welfare recipients be offered the chance to register when they sign up.

But Brown, a Republican running against Democrat Elizabeth Warren, called the move “outrageous” and a “special effort to boost one political party over another” — specifically, to boost Warren.

One of the plaintiffs in the original suit is a nonprofit in which Warren’s daughter is chairwoman of the trustees board, according to MyFoxBoston.com.
