Group Trying To Fight The Hands-Free-While-Driving Ordinance In An Odd Way

A group hoping to overturn the hand-held cell phone ban have an interesting idea on how to do it.

Over the weekend a website devoted to overturning the ban put up a banner encouraging voters not to vote in the upcoming city election.  The hope is with a lower voter turnout it would lower the threshold of signatures needed on a petition to push the ordinance to a vote.

The banner has since been removed.  The man leading the petition drive, David Kossey claims he isn't trying to get people to skip the election.
