Hmmm.
Is it just in my area, or does it seem that there are a lot fewer lawn signs for Presidential candidates around this year?
Even at odd places like traffic corners or business sites, I just don't see the plethora of candidate signs that we are used to. I know of two Republican candidates that have a NH staff of less than ten (one I think has only five) and at events the teams aren't handing out signs to take home.
We all remember past Primaries where signs sprouted like weeds and turned up in melting snowpiles in April! I only see one sign, a "Bernie" lawn sign, in my area.
This Primary season has been unusual!
How are your neighborhoods?

I've seen one Trump sign, and while I don't disagree with them, I thought that household rather brave. I've also seen one Hillary sign. I haven't noticed any Bernie signs, but I know three older women who plan to vote for him. And one of them has been making phone calls for him. Maybe we're back to keeping who we vote for a secret left behind in the voting booth.

I think that in the last two presidential cycles, politics have made our society rather fractured and contentious. My liberal friends consider all conservatives racist and rich people who don't want to support the poor. I wouldn't even consider putting a political bumper sticker on my car these days for fear of being keyed by someone supportive of the opposite party.

I remember seeing a Hillary sign on a lawn nearby. A friend of mine on the West side of Manchester said he had a Trump sign disappear from his lawn.
We had quite a few signs of a candidate in our past Nashua mayoral race vandalized. Disturbing.

Someone has an illuminated Trump sign alongside Everett Tpke, Northbound in the Merrimack area. Just in case you pass it at night, they want to ensure you see it.

I would never put a political sign on my lawn or car. It's no one's business. And honestly, I can't remember the last time I was fond of any politician.

As long as she goes there after the election after Trump or an "R" beats her.

Also have your gun ready for potential trespassers.

Maybe there's a lack of signs because nobody really likes any of the candidates on either side?

So you gotta pay them for the honor of putting their sign in your yard? That's a great way of reducing signage, that's for sure....
