Update on Twin Cities "Don't Vote" billboards

Don't Vote Signs Have Added The Second Part

Minneapolis (AP)  A radio station morning show was behind those "Don't Vote" billboards that attracted attention -- and criticism -- around the Twin Cities.

One of the billboards was being updated today in downtown Minneapolis. It now says, "Don't Vote for Dave" -- a reference to radio host Dave Ryan of KDWB FM.

Several of the billboards are in areas with large minority populations. That led the NAACP and other groups to criticize even the suggestion that citizens shouldn't vote.

Small potatoes compared to tonight's debate shenanigans, but since some Kosmpolitans were interested and/or outraged by the original billboard, I thought an update was in order.
