All Ohio Republicans. That's illegal in the Buckeye State, by the way:
No employer or his agent or a corporation shall print or authorize to be printed upon any pay envelopes any statements intended or calculated to influence the political action of his or its employees; or post or exhibit in the establishment or anywhere in or about the establishment any posters, placards, or hand bills containing any threat, notice, or information that if any particular candidate is elected or defeated work in the establishment will cease in whole or in part, or other threats expressed or implied, intended to influence the political opinions or votes of his or its employees.
But of course, the real problem with intimidating voters in America must be those two black guys hanging out near a polling place, not people's employers threatening on company letterhead that raises and benefits will be cut if the wrong people win on Tuesday.
FOX would be covering it if it was true, right?
Adam Serwer notes the franchisee, Paul Sigfried of Sigfried Enterprises, apologized when he was busted cold for this...but didn't take back his original statement that Democrats were going to cost his employees benefits and raises.
Meanwhile, the I'm sure that the Justice Department is very very interested in this case.

That whole legal thing is really getting in the way for some folks. I don't know whether to be amused or horrified.
Meh, even if it was legal, it's fucking slimy and intimidating.
Well, there is that. You hit it right on the head.
