CA Political Signage law:

NO SIGNAGE WITHIN 100 FEET OF A POLLING PLACE. If you see such political signage, notify the polling place workers who will then contact the City Elections office.

Take a photo of the sign and send the photo here (signs05@cox.net); we'll post those photos and forward them on to the DA's office. It is a misdemeanor to violate these provisions of the CA Elections Code.

Let's keep this election fair for all!
