They passed a law in Florida that signs would be posted at polling places saying it was the responsibility of the voter to know the issues, know the candidates, and to take the care to cast a properly filled out ballot.

Well, guess who jumped to have these posters banned... The ACLU! Guess why... the posters are discriminatory to minorities!

I swear to god its true.

So they aren't going to do it? Well, of course not. If they let them do that, then what excuse could they use?

And I'll back you up that its true. I was commenting just the other day on a thread that the result of the ACLU's complaint is a mystery to me. I have never heard a follow-up story. The State suposedly had 90 days to "further explain these measures". And I could of sworn that the signs were appealed to the Federal Civil rights commission, but they have no enforcement power. I still can not remember which governing body has a say-so on this(and since Florida was a "jim crow" state, some body does).
