They were online in targeted ads on pretty much any website that allowed targeted ads. Facebook, YouTube, X, etc.
They were on the radio stations, on Spotify, on YouTube Music.
They were on the buses (inside and out), on the metro, and on the Marc train platforms.
They were stapled up on light poles, in bus stop shelters, on digital street ad billboards, on regular billboards, and on bulletin boards inside grocery stores and laundry mats and inside countless store front windows.
They were in print newspapers and print regional magazines as well as in the ads on their digital counterparts.
People had them out in their yards. There were signs stuck in the ground in road medians.
All with Obama's smug face (or voice) on them telling people to vote Yes.
We were bombarded with this for at LEAST 4 months.
When I say you had to have been living under a rock to not know liberals wanted you to vote Yes, I mean it.
The ironic thing is that the conservatives funding the Vote No campaigns routinely leaned into using quotes from Obama and Spanberger saying they opposed gerrymandering (obviously prior to all this) to try to sway the low information voters you're talking about.
Go look up the ads for Justice For Democracy PAC (guess we're a Democracy again, and not a Republic) to see for yourself. Peter Thiel was the one responsible for that bit of idiocy and spent around $10 million trying to confuse low information liberal voters.
Also. If people are simple minded enough to be swayed just because the word "fairness" was invoked, maybe they shouldn't be voting in the first place.
What do you think about all the black democrats who are saying that a conservative PAC tricked them into voting No because they made it seem like Obama wanted them to vote no?
Were you one of them?

Of course I’m not one of them. I voted NO. Obviously anybody on this site is engaged in the current political climate.
You just seemed very defensive.
I’m just pointing out those kinds of people exist. There are people out there that STILL don’t even know a vote happened.
Ok
