Pollity poll poll

A lot people are reporting the obviously partisan removal of political signs in MA with the upcoming election. I recall a lot of sign shenanigans around these parts in the 2008 elections. I'm curious about my readers and their general take on such things. So, a POLL!

*trumpets*

Open to all. Specifics private to encourage a little more honesty on the gnarlier questions.

[Poll #1509021]
Please do discuss your take on your answers, the questions, and what you think about such acts and so on. Keep it polite!

That all (removing, surrounding, ...) was certainly common practice in Durham, North Carolina, in the mid-'90s, even being done by the candidates themselves. I'm surprised to hear that this represents any sort of change anywhere.

Perhaps before your time there, but in the 1990 election, almost every voting machine in Durham and Orange counties turned out to be malfunctioning election day morning. That was the Jesse Helms vs. Harvey Gantt election.

What. A. Coincidence.
