“Political Signs Skip Word, Break Law”

See this report in the Dayton Daily News. Presumably the Ohio law at issue is designed to prevent misleading speech. Is it constitutional? Bill Marshall presented a very interesting paper at the Penn symposium this weekend on the constitutionality of regulating false campaign speech, and the arguments for regulating false speech could perhaps be extended to misleading speech as well. I have always been skeptical of laws regulating misleading speech.
