Phony election signs in Baltimore say election postponed

MSNBC | November 4, 2002 | MSNBC

MSNBC reported at the bottom of the hour that signs and posters have appeared in low-income areas of Baltimore announcing that the election has been postponed until Wednesday. The signs also say that in order to vote, persons must have paid all parking tickets, answered any outstanding warrants, and pay any back rent that is due. MSNBC said Republicans denied involvement; they apparently did not ask Democrats.

i am not making this up

[Saundra Duffy]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

[ambrose]

Hahaha... too funny... anyone who'd see a sign like that and then decide not to vote shouldn't be allowed to vote anyway...

[Tree of Liberty]

Just now being talked about on Special Report with Brit Hume. Senior Democrats are blaming the Republicans.

[tonyinv]

just reported on fox

[Brad’s Gramma]

Let's ROLL!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA

[Steven W.]

that's worse than a poll tax! after all an absolute idiot might be able to pay a poll tax but might believe these stupid signs!

[TroutStalker]

Distributed by RATs so they can blame Pubbies. Meant to get out the votes for the RATs.

[shadeaud]

Funny thing is it's only printed in English

[justlurking]

This sounds like a classic "dirty trick".

No one would do this and expect to get away with it. It's so blatantly obvious -- you know someone is going to notice and raise a stink about it.

That should give you a clue about who really did it.

I'll bet they'd believe it if they got an email from a Nigerian king in exile telling them they had to send $20,000 to an offshore account in order to vote!

[Arkinsaw]

More of the "our voters are fools" whining.

[copycat]

They just showed this on Fox News. It said Dont forget to vote Nov 6, but first, be sure to pay any outstanding parking tickets, back rent, or overdue taxes. Most important any Outstanding Warrants.

Brilliant...

[Republic]

Maybe-JUST MAYBE-someone knows who is responsible for this...and it will come out. My guess---it is DEMOCRATS! LOL! Tooooooooo funny!

Senior Democrats are blaming the Republicans.

Sounds like a setup. I bet the signs were put up and reported by the same people.

You know, what is really funny though is that when someone says the you can't have outstanding warrants, parking tickets must be paid, and rent must be current, Dems immediately think you are addressing their constituency.

[concerned about politics]

they apparently did not ask Democrats.

They should have. Their canidate is losing, so this way they have an excuse to sue.
Never trust a leftie.

I heard Blair Lee talking about this on WMAL radio....this is a typical stunt by the democrats...the other is reporting that you've had several death threats...all in hope of revving up the base.

[Ronin]

Not funny. It looks like the DemonCRAPS are planting a couple of timebombs that they can use for legal challenges and post-election demagoguery.

I very seriously doubt any Republican would be this ham-handed.

It is worse than that. The Baltimore Fraternal Order of Police are supporting Ehrlich after 30 years of supporting dems. Each year they have worked the polls for them and now they are attempting to prevent off duty officers from working the polls. Last I heard this afternoon, the dems have gone to federal courts to get an injuction to take away police officer's constitution right to support a candidate.

In other news, the dems are paying walk around money in direct violation of Maryland law but say these workers will only ask people to vote but not for any party of candidate. Yeah right.

This could lead to criminal charges because they are being watched closely and I would not be surprised if we do not have people working with them to make sure.

Holy moly, Batman!

It sounds like a trick from KKT's people. Only they would be so condescending to black folks.

Be Seeing You,
