well of course its intimidation. Its the the threat that if you commit voter fraud, that you are commiting a felony crime. Whats the issue here?

 

Edit: There is nothing incorrect on the signs. They just state one simple fact. The only people who would be effected are people breaking the law, so really how is this racist or a problem?

It's all code. Voter fraud is not a problem, but the "image" of voter fraud is the same as the image of the illegal immigration problem.

It's not what we're really talking about

They state a fact. that is all. They state what the law says. The only ones discouraged would be those committing voter fraud. I fail to see an issue. What legal voters are discouraged by this, as it it clearly states voeter fraud, not voting, just voter fraud. The only argument seems to be that voter fraud is not a problem. Well that doesn't change the fact that voter fraud is a felony and can mean 3.5 years in prison or 10k fine. People are free to make signs for what they feel are problems, obviously someone disagrees and thinks voter fraud is a problem and wanted to make sure people knew of the possible consequences to breaking that law. If someone wants to make billboards that say voter fraud is not a problem they are free to do so. It doesn't change the fact on these billboards that voter fraud is a crime that can punishible by 10k fine and 3.5 years in jail.
