“#Anti-voting graffiti scrawled on WWI Museum in Kansas City<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n The entrance to the National World War One Museum and Memorial in Kansas City was marked with anti-voting messages on Election Day before voters arrived at the polls.<\/p>\n

The museum said that its stonework was defaced early Tuesday, which also serves as a polling location. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be a polling location & condemn this attempt at voter intimidation,\u201d the museum said in a statement.<\/a> \u201cOur democracy is something that generations of veterans, including those in WWI, have fought to defend.\u201d<\/p>\n

On a wall on either side of the entrance to the museum, vandals spray-painted messages. <\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t vote,\u201d the graffiti stated. \u201cFight for revolution!\u201d<\/p>\n

The spray paint also included a picture of a hammer and sickle. The symbol most commonly refers to communism, first adopted in the Russian Revolution.<\/p>\n

Police were at the site of the incident as workers could be seen covering up the message with a blue tarp. <\/p>\n

Officers have since left, according to FOX4.<\/a><\/p>\n

The museum is a polling place for the general<\/a> election on Tuesday. Polling places across the Kansas City area reported long lines Tuesday morning, including at the museum.<\/p>\n

They are our heroes today as we work tirelessly to make this a welcoming polling location. VOTE! pic.twitter.com\/JmAVRY2HCB<\/a><\/p>\n
