I haven't seen one yard sign in eastern PWC yet. Usually when I do see them, they are (R). Had a lot of Romney signs last election. Now I see nothing.

I know that Fairfax County is cracking down big time on signs in public areas. It can be thousands of dollars in penalties for repeat offenders. Maybe the campaigns are listening.

Actually I've noticed more signs sprouting up in Arlington but of course not as many as usual. Even a diehard Bernie fan still has his sign up, bless his heart.

I've also noticed that DC residents are more proud of their support for Hillary. I think minorities really are her fiercest supporters.

I can't imagine if someone put up a Trump sign in Arlington/DC. There would be riots.

There is a pretty recent VA law (circa 2013ish) that forbids signs on public property. There is no teeth behind it so it's up to campaigns to decide if they respect the law.

LOL. We have a diehard in our area with a Romney sign; mows and replaces it.

It's sad that Arlington/DC would riot over a Trump sign. I'm in an overwhelmingly Republican area but no one messes with the Democrat signs.

Not surprising in that section. South Arlington on Columbia Pike would be a different story.

In Herndon, Cutter Mill Park gets inundated with political signs every time there is an election coming.

Because they're embarrassed to vote for Trump.

I'm going to put one in my yard. It's going to be a big dry-erase board on a post. It will say:

Vote for ---------- for President.

And the marker will be attached to the board via a rope.
