I'm still driving around Coventry seeing signs for politicians in public, and private areas. The election is over, when is it considered littering? Really, the same for yard sale signs.

Signs aren’t even supposed to be on public (state/town owned property) to begin with

Put whatever you want on private property, otherwise, if your crack down on it, you'll get the same reaction as what happened in Portsmouth.

Sure, private property, I get it. What happened in Portsmouth?

Guy put up signs criticizing town government over zoning regulations on his property, town tried cracking down on it, became a whole thing.

I have this idea that the elections should be tallied like this: Results = Votes minus Total Candidate Yard Signs.
I mean, not really, it would be too easy system to game by putting your opponents signs everywhere, but a man can dream.

My local candidates for state office offered to come back and pick up their signs the day after the election. They were promptly removed from my lawn the day after the election. One of the many reasons I liked them!

You can’t tell me when I can have a political sign on my private property. I still have my Mondale sign up.

I didn't say I was. I was asking a question, and private property is different. You can have whatever you want on it, and we can feel sorry for you, or anyone else we want to.

Public? Day after election.
Private? Never.
