Related: About this forumVoter 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.
<snip>
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.
