Remember the absurd controversy last year in Wisconsin and Ohio about the billboards informing voters about the simple fact voter fraud is a crime? In 2013, law abiding citizens are criticized for citing the law by those who aid lawlessness – like the lawlessness of Leonard Brown – the Milwaukee voter who voted five times for President.
Maybe if there had been more billboards in Milwaukee, 4 Wisconsin citizens who did not share Brown’s choice for President (whatever it was) would not have had their votes cancelled out. Maybe if there were more billboards where Leonard Brown might have read them, the votes of 4 law abiding voters would not have been cancelled. Maybe next time, those who would aid the lawless won’t be as brazen as to criticize constitutionally protected speech. Somehow I am not optimistic.
