The Anecdotal Lawn Signs Megathread

[GeorgiaModerate]

I've seen very few here (Forsyth County GA) this year.  Most were for the primary and have since been taken down.

One of my neighbors had a "Walker for Senate" sign up for a couple months, but it has also come down.  I don't know why.

If yard signs indicated anything, Youngkin would have won in a mega landslide last year. lol

Yard signs can indicate enthusiasm and sometimes polling error imo.

I once saw a study that showed that the only statistically significant conclusion indicated by political yard signs is that there is an election in the near future.  (Seriously)

OK, which of you did this?

Today I saw a box truck parked in a driveway on a nearby busy road with the sides painted as a Kemp campaign sign.  I haven't seen any other gubernatorial signs, and none at all from the Senate race since one of my neighbors took down his Walker sign a while back (I don't know why).  There are a few signs for downballot races, but most of those are left over from the primary.  This area just isn't very big on campaign signs, I guess.

I finally saw a Walker sign today on the side of a state highway in Forsyth County.

Still not much action in peoples' yards, but it seems that the Dems are now entering the commercial/roadside sign war battlefield in my area. Just in the last two days I'm now seeing Warnock, (Lisa) Campbell (HD-35), and (Antonio) Daza (GA-11) signs. No Abrams signs, interestingly.

That said, I had to come back to this thread to complain: I am now seeing Marcus Flowers signs in Kennesaw, which is in GA-11 and NOT GA-14. The boundary of GA-11 and GA-14 is miles to the west.

I do not want to be reminded of Marcus Flowers and his money pit of a campaign in GA-14, especially when I see his campaign signs in the freakin' wrong district!

During the GA-06 special election in 2017, I saw Ossoff signs in Forsyth County a good 3 or 4 miles outside the district boundary (at that time, no part of Forsyth was in the 6th).

Is there any evidence that lawn signs for higher profile races change votes at all? I dislike the mess that I see of them up here in Columbia County. Hoboken does not have anything going on, so no signs.

I once saw a study from some political scientists (don't have the citation, sorry) examining whether candidate signs were predictive of results, which is not quite the same question but is certainly related.  The only statisticially significant correlation they found was that a prevalence of signs indicated an election in the near future.
