(The Center Square) — Maine's top election watchdog said it will investigate a campaign messaging tactic called 'red boxing' that is being used by several democratic candidates running for governor.

The Maine Ethics Commission voted 4-0 to seek a legal opinion from the Maine Attorney General’s office on the practice of political candidates coordinating with political action committees backing them to get around campaign finance laws.
