“Dear PoPville,
A crop of new signs popped up on our block today, then we noticed a large pile by the trash on a side street. Are campaign representatives allowed to move other campaign’s signs?”
On Thursday we shared from Attorney General Racine’s office:
“Is it legal to destroy election signs in the lead up to the election?
No. It is illegal under District law to intentionally remove, deface, damage, or destroy a lawfully placed billboard, poster, sign or other material relating to a candidate or referendum in the 30 days before the election or up to four days after the election. (more…)
