downlo: Republicans continue to mislead minority voters in Pennsylvania: In English, the billboard pictured above reads: “This election, if you’ve got it, show it.” It is one of 58 billboards erected by Pennsylvania’s Republican-led Department of State, mostly in Democratic-leaning Philadelphia and Pittsburgh. Though Latinos make up only 6 percent of the state’s population, about 20 percent of the billboards are in Spanish. Similar Spanish-language ads appear on public buses. “The ad is really confusing and misleading,” says Marian Schneider, the attorney with the Advancement Project who on October 2 convinced a judge to delay the state’s voter ID law. At the same time, she failed to win an injunction against advertisements publicizing the law, but Schneider recently submitted a new brief asking the court to get involved. She believes the new ads “blur the message” and may dissuade people from voting if they do not have ID. Let me emphasize that Pennsylvania voters do not need to show ID to vote on election day. SPREAD THE WORD!
