Exposed: Stephen and Nancy Einhorn were anonymous donors behind billboards that Targeted Minority Neighborhoods with threatening Voter Fraud messages.

Voter fraud is nonexistent. But strongly paranoid conservative ideologues still think it worth committing a felony to vote fraudulently or that it’s happened at all (minus mistaken ex-felons).

jsonline-Dan Bice: Stephen Einhorn - a Wisconsin venture capital fund manager and major GOP donor – acknowledged Monday that he and his wife Nancy paid for dozens of anonymous billboards in and around Milwaukee and two Ohio cities warning residents of the penalties for committing voter fraud.

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

Projection much…?

Scot Ross, executive director of One Wisconsin Now, issued a statement Monday raising several questions for the Einhorn’s; “Perhaps their Chicago public relations firm could answer why the Einhorn’s (didn’t) put their name on it, rather than hiding behind the cowardly veil of anonymity.”

Sykes said the foundation chief was given the option of disclosing his family’s identity or taking down the ads. After initially considering releasing the family’s name, Sykes wrote, the foundation’s leader opted to pull the billboards because he was “reluctant to put his children and grandchildren at any risk.”
