Voter advocacy groups say polling place warning signs written in Spanish are intimidation [View all]

Yellow signs in Spanish warning people that voting by noncitizens is illegal are planted outside early voting locations around the state.

Jim Womack, president of the conservative North Carolina Election Integrity Team, said his group purchased just under 1,000 signs.

Womack said in an interview they’re “protecting noncitizens from committing crimes.”

But voting rights groups called the signs voter intimidation. More than two dozen organizations, including Forward Justice, Common Cause North Carolina, and the Southern Coalition for Social Justice, told state Elections Director Karen Brinson Bell in a letter this week that the signs must be removed.
