Being concerned about the poor grammar and punctuation in the quote supposedly sourced from ProQuest ("Maryland GOP mails checks to colored clerics in vote bid, proquest") I started digging and can find absolutely nothing similar to this in ProQuest or any other of the dozens of databases accessible from the university with which I'm associated. In fact, the phrase "colored clerics" shows up nowhere in a full-text search of every available database. The only online sources I can find that refer to this article are sourced from Wikipedia with the same typos, and there's nothing in Google Scholar, either. The only conclusion I can draw is that this was added as a hoax and therefore should be removed until a legitimate source can be identified. Accordingly, I am removing this reference and ask that it not be restored until someone can provide a properly referenced source. B.Rossow · talk 14:15, 25 June 2013 (UTC)
