"It certainly leads to an atmosphere where some will think twice about voting" I'm sure Ms. Marcia Johnson-Blanco was simply misquoted and she actually said "It certainly leads to an atmosphere where some will think about not voting twice." It's a simple juxtaposition by the reporter. The misunderstanding will be straightened out forthwith.

I just had a thought. Paper the areas known to have fraud problems with flyers and have people go on radio talking about this type of thing.
If you commit fraud it IS a crime and tell what the penalty is.

Libs on FB were complaining about this so I posted several articles about how dems buy votes with cash and cigarettes.

Ah yes, they might do my favorite word in politics: "clarify."

"It certainly leads to an atmosphere where some will think twice about voting,"
Why on earth would someone think twice about voting, unless they were voting twice?
LOL! Man, thats classic!

The billboards create a chilling effect," said Marcia Johnson-Blanco, a co-director at the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, an advocacy group .. I appreciate anything that has at "chilling effect" on anyone complementing a crime. A 'chilling effect' is why we have laws and punishment for violating those laws.

Perhaps people who don’t know the difference between voting and voter fraud shouldn’t be voting in the first place.

LOL, I think we all reached the same analysis of the main asinine quote.

Legal and labor activists and community members said the signs deliberately target and seek to intimidate blacks and Hispanics, other minorities and the poor - as well as ex-convicts- groups key to Democrats' campaign voter drives ahead of the vote. Isn't it "RACIST" for these "legal and labor activists" to say that only the "blacks and Hispanics, other minorities and the poor" are the only ones committing voter fraud?
I see these billboards as one of those "if the shoe fits" deals. JMO.

THERE IS EXACTLY ONE PARTY IN AMERICA THAT COMMITS, AND RELIES ON, VOTER FRAUD. IT IS THE DEMOCRATS.
THEY ARE A CONTINUING CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE AND THEY MUST BE JAILED, OR EXECUTED, EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM.

I thought for sure that this was satire.
To: Maelstorm
i’ve seen them. they are only intimidating if you know you’re not legally allowed to vote here. i know i can vote, they don’t bother me at all.

With the left you can almost be certain that the line between satire and reality are often indistinguishable.

“Why would any legal voter be put off by these signs?”
Probably for the same reason the dems hate seeing The Ten Commandments posted anywhere- it is a list of everything they are doing wrong and being reminded they will be judged by it.
