Venture capitalist revealed as mystery buyer of voter fraud billboards

[Playinghardball]

A venture capitalist fund manager has admitted to paying for billboards in Wisconsin and Ohio that warned “voter fraud is a felony.”

A joint investigation by theGrio and One Wisconsin Now uncovered on Monday that Milwaukee’s Einhorn Family Foundation anonymously funded the billboards, which went up in mostly low-income neighborhoods. Liberal and progressive groups said the billboards were part of an effort to suppress voter turnout.

Stephen Einhorn acknowledged late Monday that he and his wife had paid for the billboards.

“Stephen and Nancy Einhorn placed these billboards as a public service because voter fraud – whether by Republicans or Democrats – undermines our democratic process,” the Einhorns said in a statement. “By reminding people of the possible consequences of illegal voting, we hope to help the upcoming election be decided by legally registered voters.”

5. No violence, but someone should lead a silent march to their house

seeing as they tried to silence so many people.

It's amazing how cavalier these assholes are about doing something so un-American.

6. No No No.

Mr & Mrs Einhorn, you do NOT want to help make sure only "legally registered voters" do the voting, you want ONLY the rethuglicans to be able to vote as you, just as Willard, want to be dictators as plutocrats and leave the rest of us "Serbs" to squabble over the little crumbs you throw our way.........as Reverend Al says, "nice try.....but we got ya".......Obama/Biden 2012
