Voter Fraud Billboards To Be Replaced Following Controversy

Monday October 22, 2012 7:42 AM
UPDATED: Monday October 22, 2012 9:47 AM

Clear Channel Corporation agreed to take down a number of billboards, placed in predominately African American and Latino neighborhoods, that some said were intimidating to voters.

Critics said that the billboards, which read the message “Voter fraud is a felony,” boarded on racism because they were placed in minority neighborhoods.

The new message on the billboards, which are going up in Cleveland on Monday and will be posted in Columbus and Cincinnati by next week, will read “Voting is a right, not a crime.”
