ALABAMA -- This close to the elections, political signs are expected in yards and roadways, but one sign is making quite a statement because of where it's located in Elmore County.

For the past month, drivers passed a large sign on Highway 14 in the town of Elmore reading: “Vote Democratic.” The sign was posted by the Elmore County Democratic Party on the property of Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church.

“This was a good location because there was a lot of traffic, so I spoke with the church lady here and she said that we wouldn't have any problem,” said Thomas Brown, Chairman for the Elmore County Democratic Party.

After CBS-8 News spoke to Mount Zion Church and Elmore County Democratic Party about the issue, they decided to move the sign off of church property. If not, the IRS could have removed Mount Zion's tax-exempt status as a non-profit.
