Voter fraud billboards targeted by Washington based advocacy group, because informing people voter fraud is a felony is racist?

These are going up everywhere there is an open board for rent. They are flat out lying about the reason these are in “minority” neighborhoods. What they are not telling you is there are no billboards in the outlying suburbs because they would never allow it due to zoning issues. There is no reason to let a billboard in newer areas because there is no real tax revenue for a city to make off a billboard. Most of the billboards that are up have been up for 50 years or more and were grandfathered in before zoning laws.

There is not a single billboard within 5 miles of where I live because the cities don’t want eye sores in their neighborhood that make a city penny’s a year.

But the real question begs; why do they really want these taken down?

I consider it a good thing, lot of people do not realize they can become a felon because of the nonchalant attitude the media takes to voter fraud, getting caught would change your entire life forever.

I still do not see how this board "attach an implicit threat of criminal prosecution to the civic act of voting"

I think they are nuts, wonder where they got my money to sue...


Article: CLEVELAND, Ohio — A civil rights group has called for a local advertiser to remove signage about voting fraud from dozens of billboards in Cleveland that it says unfairly target minorities.

The Lawyers' Committee For Civil Rights, a voting advocacy group based in Washington, sent a letter this week to Clear Channel Outdoor in Parma requesting they take down signs that read "voter fraud is a felony." The signs, which also list potential criminal penalties, have sprouted up in various sections of Cleveland and some suburbs since last week.

The group used census tract data to determine the demographics of the neighborhoods in which the signs were placed. Census tracts are areas that average about 4,000 residents and loosely follow neighborhood boundaries.

In addition to Cleveland, the billboards also have begun to appear in predominately black neighborhoods in Cincinnati and Milwaukee, the group said. The sponsor for the billboards is only listed as a private family foundation.

In its letter to Clear Channel, Lawyers' Committee said the signs, "stigmatize the African-American community by implying that voter fraud is a more significant problem in African American neighborhoods than elsewhere," and the billboards "attach an implicit threat of criminal prosecution to the civic act of voting."

It's called targeted marketing. Everyone knows the Democrats are the party of voter fraud and election fraud, and Democrats are the ones fighting voter ID. 95% of blacks vote Democrat.

Billboards placed at various locations around the country boldly proclaim, “Voter Fraud is a Felony!” and claims that it carries a penalty of “up to 3 ½ years in prison and a $10,000 fine.”


Is this a simple community service, as the Judiciary states ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking the law. Or, is it voter intimidation as the Democrats claim? Warning, ignorance of the law is no excuse
