this is getting big play in ohio and starting to creep out nationally.

apparently some unnamed private group is putting up voter fraud images like the one posted in this thread in almost exclusively black parts of cleveland. you cannot get me to buy that this is some public awareness campaign. these were placed strategically to intimidate non white voters into not voting. thankfully, the opposite has happened and there rallying behind it and more enthused to vote now then before.

Clear channel did not put the name of the organization on the ad like they always do, even admitting it was a screw up on there end. they will not take down the banner. free speech is fine. you bought the space, put up whatever you want. just dont expect me to not see the correlation and these motives you are pushing and expect people not to call you out.

i am glad they are calling them out.

What is wrong with publishing the consequences of voter fraud?

That's what I would like to know. Blacks aren't citizens of this country with the right to vote? Why would they be intimidated by voter fraud signs? The left is getting more desperate by the day.

Is there a reason to suspect voter fraud?

These billboards are going up for one reason - to try to suppress black votes.

You Rethuglicans are vile, disgusting individuals.

I'm not a Republican and I don't have a problem with this sign. It ought to be in every town and polling station as far as I'm concerned.

The right wingers are trying to claim black people are committing voter fraud, which is complete BS. Most of the voter fraud that turns up comes from the GOP.

You REALLY must think blacks are stupid. As long as they are registered voters, they have nothing to fear, and they are smart enough to know that. How would that constitute suppressing black votes?

Or are you inferring that some that might be tempted to commit voter fraud, and vote multiple times? That is a criminal act...and should be suppressed.

The Obamabots must be getting nervous the race card is re-emerging. I mean if Blacks are so intimidated by a billboard that they won't vote then there are more serious problems in the community than I thought.

Hmmmm. How about the stories that they'll be rioting in the street if Obama isn't elected? Who's intimidated if they are legally voting?
