I kinda wonder how much they matter in the first place tbh. Like, does prevalence of one candidate's signs over the other really affect people's voting habits?

I thinks it's funny Republicans use blue signs in CT. Only Levy was using red signs. Kinda funny they don't even want to be recognized as republican.

If you look at the conservative subs a lot of them are trying to distance themselves from the Republican party since GWB.

I was just thinking this the other day when I was driving down Legion Ave in New Haven and saw dozens of Rosa Delauro signs...which were red.

Political scientists have found that they do actually have an effect, depending on the context of the race (especially if it's tight). So while they might not have mattered at all in House District 1, they may have played a role in House District 5.

I think it's more about a person's desire to advertise their beliefs.
Anecdotally, at least, the presence of yard signs don't seem to tell you much about how an election is going to go. If it did, Bobby Valentine would be the mayor of Stamford and "Bob and Laura" would have gotten more than 34.9% of the vote here.

If you see a name everywhere you might be swayed to vote for that person. Repetition legitimises.

It also familiarizes. Oh, I know that name! I'll vote for her.

Lawn signs are helpful when you're looking to buy/rent. It helps me know if I would be comfortable in that neighborhood or not. We eliminated two places, that looked good on paper, already this election season because of this.

Can we vote on banning all political signs next election? They’re ugly, annoying, and don’t do shit. Kind of like Republicans.

"the rules have changed" is tacked on to one person's trump 2024 flag that's been up since 2021. Sheesh.

There was this guy at the intersection of West Main and New London Tpke in Norwich who had a million and half signs up, so I'm glad I'm not gonna see those anymore

he’s acting as if he’s gonna vote for every single one of them too

Election season is one of the times I really like my HOA. One of the few rules they actually enforce is the “no political signs” one.

Guy in my neighborhood still has his lock her up Hillary sign. Election signs are now a permanent decoration.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results (something like that!)
When will people realize this?

Its kind of weird how all of the accounts posting this are all less than a year old.
Better yet take down all the traitor flags
