I have seen a large increase in Democratic signs versus Republican signs, which are flat or have even dropped off. This is largely, if not exclusively, the result of Democratic signs on public/vacant land (which is also where most Republican signs are, as ever), which I have always seen as an absurd form of littering. I read nothing into this except that the Democratic campaigns around me are wasting a lot of time.

Saw my first Oz sign in the wild. Along the highway though, there are were 2 or 3 instances where I guess the local GOP threw up a Mastriano and Oz sign.

I've seen about a dozen in the last two weeks whenever I venture out of Philly into the suburbs (just passed through ChesCo the other day). 

Lots of Fetterman and Shapiro signs, a fair amount of Mastriano signs too.  But many of these signs are those placed in a big cluster presumably by campaign volunteers rather than people who actually donated to these campaigns.

Yeah, I'm still waiting for the local GOP here in my part of Montco to put up all the Rep signs like that, but they have yet to do so - kind of telling. (though the Dem party in my area is much worse; they take forever to get their sh*t together and put stuff up in the same areas)

I have yet to see Mastriano or Oz signs in anyones yards, but I've only been thru Philly, Montco, and Lehigh Valley recently.

When I tell you that at least every other house in Abington/Jenkintown area had a Shapiro sign. Was nice to see.

Lots of Fetterman and a good deal of Mastriano signs in the Wilkes-Barre/Carbondale area. Some Oz, none of Shapiro. Since the RGA has triaged Mastriano, signs may not be the strongest predictor.

agreed - Fetterman having the most (?) signs in that area is certainly surprising.

So, someone planted a Gottheimer sign without permission on what I thought was my property, but I guess isn't.

I don't necessarily mind it, I guess, as frustrating as Gottheimer can be, but it was just a little odd to wake up and see.

Meh, at least it wasn't a sign for a Republican.

Thought I'd pop in for another update in north Cobb County, GA. Absentee ballots get mailed out in a few days!

First, there's still no signs in people's yards; the sign war is still being fought on public roadside and commercial property. I would have expected at least some yard signs (both Republican and Democratic) would have gone up by now, but there's still nothing, at least in my area.

But of those signs:
- There's been a pretty dramatic increase in Kemp signage; I've counted 9 on my regular errand route where there was only 1 before. No Abrams signs.
- The one Walker sign I saw a month back is no longer there. I don't know when it was taken down. Still no Warnock signs.
- Even more Robert Trim (R trying to hold redrawn Biden+14 HD-35) signage. In fact, just today I saw a pickup truck with two giant TRIM signs on the back (and a smaller Kemp sticker in the rear window); maybe that was his truck lol
- That one "family farm"-like property still only has the Loudermilk (GA-11) signs; no signs for Kemp/Walker/Carr/Raffensperger/et al. as of today.

I've also seen an uptick in anti-Warnock text messages, while direct mailers still seem to be more pro-Dem, at least in my neighborhood. Still the only direct home visit has been from a Dem canvasser.

I saw a few for Deborah Ross's opponent this week, as well as for Raleigh's mayor and a few for the mayor's opponent.

I haven't seen any election lawn signs in my area, except one for the Democratic candidate for Auditor, Diana DiZoglio (that was put up before the primary, which was actually competitive).

Still have seen no Mastriano or Oz signs in any persons yards in my area in Montco, however I did see a house with signs for PA-04 GOP nominee Nascimento and the state house and senate candidates. No Oz or Mastriano though.

I saw a Michael Peroutka lawn sign in Severna Park railing against COVID restrictions near the high school. Some things never change.

Driving through the Driftless area I saw a fair amount of Evers and Kaul signs, but few Barnes signs. I think personally Wisconsin will end up with a RonJon +2 and Evers +1 with some ticket splitting in the Driftless.

Are you sure it wasn't a sign for Planned Parenthood?

One of my best friends is from Severna Park, his mom works at the FDA and didn't let him have Jimmy Johns or Chipotle, because she was concerned about food safety, definitely a tail of two cities. Nice little town though, I was there a couple of weeks ago when we went to watch UMD vs MSU in College Park. I didn't pay attention to any of the signage though.

In my neck of suburban Fort Lauderdale, there seem to be an even number of DeSantis and Crist signs. A lot of Val Demmings signs and almost no Marco Rubio signs(I think I've seen two).

Edit: Not saying there's going to be alot of split ticket voting going on, but I wouldnt be shocked if Rubio under performs either.

I'm starting to see a lot of Oz signs alongside other GOP candidates' signs, so it seems like the local GOP folks are starting to up his presence. Mastriano's signs remain ubiquitous.

Yep, the only time I've seen Oz signs thus far has been along highways where Oz and Mastriano signs were put up by the local GOP.

Where are you located? I'm in SEPA but I've still seen 0 Mastriano signs in any neighborhoods (0 with Oz as well). Have seen signs for local GOP candidates, but absolutely none for Mastriano or Oz.

I live in Bucks County (near the Montco border) but I work in Berks County so I drive through some pretty red areas on my way. I moved from Lancaster County earlier this year as well, where Mastriano signs are pretty much ubiquitous as KhanofKhans has noted.

When I drive through Montco and Philly though, I see as many Shapiro signs as I do for Mastriano in Bucks/Berks. Which isn't surprising.

What's the sign disparity looking like in Bucks/Berks in each race? Curious if Shapiro/Fetterman are holding their own out there.
