I would like there to be legislation that requires all Election signs taken down by January 1st. I don't care what party. And Election Flags.
This has actually been litigated quite a bit in the courts. A lot of cities used to have rules on when you could have election signs up. Most of them have been struck down as unconstitutional. Whatever rules a city has in place governing signage has to apply to all signs and can't specifically call out election/campaign signs. You can ban election signs in your zoning code, but that also means no real estate signage, my kid just graduated from high school signage, a veteran lives here, etc.

Then ban them all. At some point it becomes litter.

While I agree, at some level I don't mind. It's kind of telling on yourself at this point that you're a partisan hack if you still rocking the campaign collateral into the New Year. Reminds which of my neighbors to avoid getting sucked into unwanted conversations with.
Good points.

Just announced that Russia hacked the DOJ. Ta king advantage of the dysfunction. All hell breaking loose today.

If it's on my property it's not your concern. Provided it poses no threat of damage to my neighbors property or people of course.
I'm not going to go down decades of zoning code law precedents with you, but it would depend on how you define "damage."

The optics of this is hilarious. A bunch of fat guys with nazi/facists lead by trump on the outside and Ted Cruz getting chastised as a traitor by Mitch McConnell on the inside.
