Do you put political signs in your yard?

[Deleted]

I realized that there are literally zero signs in my neighborhood. I have some signs being dropped off today, so I'll be curious to see if that encourages anyone else to do the same. I'll also be interested if anyone says anything to me about them.

[wambam]

Yes. I have an acquaintances running for judge so we have his sign.

[candreco]

I do. Putting political preferences out there isn't DH's favorite, so we compromise on putting one out no more than a month before an election. Although this year, when our senator's republican challenger is beloved by white nationalists, DH isn't nearly as reluctant to have signs out.

[karinothing]

Yes. We have a blue wave sign that lists all our local dem candidates. In 2016 we projected the HRC logo on the side of our house. This year I think we will just project the words Vote Dem or something.

Same here.

We have one other house in our neighborhood with about a dozen Dem signs and like 4 Beto signs. I need to go get some more signs for local Dem races too.  No Cruz or any other signs in our immediate neighborhood. Thank God, he makes me gag.

[TR]

We have a Beto sign out.

[penguintamer]

I never have before, simply because in our last neighborhood neighbors had them stolen or windows smashed if they had it in a window instead. I currently have a Beto sign in my yard. Only one other neighbor down the road has signs, but his are for Cruz, blech.

Yes, we have a Beto sign right now. It's still standing! lol. Apparently according to Nextdoor, someone is going around stealing the signs or putting a socialist sticker on them.

Yes, I have the two running for state offices. I keep trying to stop by the local dem office to get a sign for secretary of state, governor, and house rep but the office is always closed. I asked them their hours, came by during those hours and still closed.

Two neighbors on my street have signs for all the Democrats on the ballot and there are no R signs in my neighborhood.

Our HOA doesn't allow it in your yard. Even for sale signs have to meet their requirements. But I'm bucking the system and put on in my garage window last night. Will see if I get a notice letter.

[isabel]

Generally no, but I did for Hillary in 2016.

[VillainV]

No, because we’re military and the people on our absentee ballot aren’t the same people that are on the local ballot.

People on my local democrat facebook pages are saying that it's against the law for an HOA to prohibit political signs.

[shortstax]

No, DH doesn't like to since he works for the city and likes to appear political neutral--even though we donate and volunteer for our dems.

I did have a killer Hillary car magnet that I loved. It was such a sad day when I finally took it off in early 2017.

[sometimesrunner]

No. In my neighborhood, you either have no signs or 15 signs in your yard. There is no in between.

[Violet]

No - I don't want to get or pay for the ticket that will come from our village. Supposedly our village tickets for signs that don't meet their requirements like an HOA. That being said, many of my neighbors still put out signs.

[pantsparty]

Our HOA doesn't permit it, although I noticed some people have put out signs on the strip of grass next to the street. Those signs are for a guy running for the water department. I think I'm just going to try to put a sign there and wait for the HOA to scold me. IDGAF. In which case I will move in into our window, and they can't control what I put in there.

[arch01]

No, I work for the city and it is highly frowned upon for city employees especially in local races.

[Bernadine]

No, because I live in a cul de sac and almost no one would see them. I have several car magnets though.

[CrazyLucky]

The only sign I ever put up was for Hillary. My area is so red, I wanted to try to help the other sane people feel like they aren't alone.

[readyin07]

Nope, not allowed by our HOA. Which is surprising bc our HOA is very very low key, but it's one of the few rules.

[morecoffeeplease]

I wish we could in general but we live on a military base and it isn't allowed.

They can’t do that. Our town doesn’t allow lawn signs as a general rule, but political lawn signs are covered as free speech under the 1st Amendment, and you can take them to court and will win if they try to fine you for it.

[penguingrrl]

I do put them out. Since I’m a candidate myself and my house is i a good location for visibility I do. I never did prior to 2014.

[BaliHai]

No. H doesn't like any signs at all in the windows or on the lawn (political, local business advertisements, etc.).

[vanillacourage]

I need to get some signs. My neighbors put this out for major elections (only the sign the elephant is holding says “vote Republican”) so I need to counteract the red energy. 

[tracita]

Our HOA doesn't allow it, but I wouldn't do it anyway. I have no desire for my redneck neighbors to know my political leanings.

[SwimDeep]

I want to, but we don't. I live in a divided household, and I don't own the house *sigh*

[eddy]

Yes, even local elections.

[eb777888]

That inflatable elephant is so.ugly. OMG.
