"Early in the morning we were real busy moving signs," Brady said. "Someone came out (Monday) night after work was done and put Ron Paul signs in almost every polling place.

"So we had to remove a lot of those. And there were some various other signs, but it seemed like the Ron Paul signs sprung up overnight right next to most of the polling places."

Ron Paul is a Republican congressman from Texas is running for president who has a decidedly Libertarian bent.

Other than that, Brady said, the election went smoothly. County clerks in Henderson, Union and Webster counties made the same report.

Henderson County Clerk Renny Matthews said there were some instances of signs and electioneering within 300 feet of polling places, which is against the law, and sheriff's deputies responded to each instance of a complaint.

That's good policing for ya and a fine use of deputy's time. :rolleyes:
 
What they did (putting up signs inside the no-electioneering zone) was technically against the law.
 
Ron Paul signs/ads

I live in KY and have yet to see or hear a Ron Paul ad or sign anywhere. I think I'm the only one with a Ron Paul bumper sticker. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen any signs or bumper stickers for any of the other candidates either.. I saw a McCain ad on TV during the primary once but that was it.

What's going on?:confused:
