I’m personally in Chester County, but I’d like to hear from everyone across the state. I saw someone a few blocks from me today putting his Mastriano signs back out on public property yesterday.
I’m so tired of seeing that plastic garbage on every corner.
There is still a huge “Stop the War on Coal, Fire Obama” sign up where I’m at.
Is there any laws about this? Seems like in practice they leave them for future civilizations to deal with.
I'm also in Chester county, I drive by a massive "Let's go Brandon" Trump sign every day on the way to work. It's permanent, framed with wood and armored with wire fence on both sides. I don't think it's ever coming down.
This is for Allegheny County*, so your county may have something similar? Not that it really does any good because nobody around here seems to obey it. Stupid signs stay up on public property for months. https://ecode360.com/8485459

Lol. I was more talking about the shitty little plastic ones. Those big wooden ones, although ugly, aren’t going anywhere (also on private property I’d hope).
Anyone near Hanover? There is a person who always has a massive display of signs in their yard year round. Let’s Go Brandon, Impeach Biden, all of the R candidates from this election, a picture of Biden/Harris labeled “Dumb & Dumber.” Last Christmas there was even a Santa with a string of yellow lights “peeing” on a Biden/Harris sign. That didn’t stay up long though.
Yikes. If you ever see them outside their house give them a big thumbs down from me as you drive by lol
But to revert back to the post, I’m pretty sure there are laws against all those yard signs. I’m pretty sure it’s like 4 signs max on a residential lawn. Maybe I’m wrong.
Next day after the election I saw Fetterman signs being removed from the side of the roads throughout Lehigh, Berks Counties
Of course the Winner’s signs come down. This guy I saw yesterday was putting fresh Mastriano signs down in an empty area (where signs used to be). So lame. Maybe Mastriano didn’t concede yet?
I noticed new Mastriano signs yesterday. It's really strange.
Chester county here too. I’m still seeing signs littering the side of the roads unfortunately.
Lol I’ve seen that one. That person put some effort into making that sign. Wish they spent that much effort fixing up their house
They should ban that plastic BS. Or make them $500 lol
> I don't think it's ever coming down.
Depends on how far you can toss a Molotov cocktail.
He has not conceded
He has not conceded. It’s not over yet. With enough prayer, rejoicing in the lord, and singing of hymns (whilst wearing “F**k Biden shirts) he could still pull it off! Victory is his for the taking, now raise your Confederate flag and kneel in prayer.
The fuck your feelings crew living their best life.
Never will most likely
Don’t forget the all important fasting for the Lord.
That’s my guess as well
He’s going to show up in DC for the swearing in 🤣
I’m sure he’ll come to senses and concede any decade now.
You had me there in the first two sentences. I’ll send my thoughts and prayers to Mastriano’s team
I just saw a Desantis sign today. That’s a new one for around here.
Good because if he doesn’t win that would mean it wasn’t god’s will and we all know that just can’t be! The lord doesn’t make mistakes.
That would be a local ordinance thing and it would vary by municipality. Or HOA issue.
I genuinely wish candidates started signing a compact against signs. They're probably God awful for the environment.
Maybe the question should be, if they are on public property, can anyone remove them now that the election is over?
This made me chuckle because I spend so much time in rural areas running my motorcycle and I see that all the time...people put so much time and effort into crafting these political messaging signs meanwhile their houses look like they should be condemned....
I think most people who put up all those political signs are definitely not living in an HOA...I mean they aren't interested in following any rules or laws that they disagree with so just imagine them in an HOA!
The most important: lyin' for the lord
Yes you can, but there's always the risk that someone who supports that candidate goes off on you for removing it.
Well, they can't guard all of them along the road. If enough people do this, the few that are left won't matter.
Oh you're absolutely right, I was just thinking it would be my luck that I would pull over to get rid of one and right around that time one of those pickup trucks full of flags would pull up behind my vehicle..... 😬
Well, keep one. Then if they do, go get that one and plant it. They will think you are one of them.
MAGA is basically their religion. “Owning the libs” is the holy sacrament.
I mean he's the leader of the Republican party and I'd happily vote him for Senate or governor of PA over anyone who ran in those races.
Shoot it with paintballs.
And he’d lose just like Oz and Mastriano
Municipalities are terrified of 1A litigation, so they’ll try desperately hard to avoid enforcement of their very-constitutional sign ordinances. I had convo about it with a solicitor a couple of years ago. He agreed that the ordinance governing temporary signs was enforceable against political signs that stay out too long or are too big, but that it would be up to me to file a writ of mandamus if I wanted them to enforce it. The politically mixed panel of supervisors were unanimous about not wanting it enforced against political signs.
I've tried talking to these people. Despite Shapiro winning by more than 700,000 votes, they demand an audit. Also they like to peddle "Mastriano won more real votes!" (as in more people votes for him in person.)
The asshats where I live nailed Mastriano and Trump signs into trees along Rt 30 between Latrobe and Ligonier. Not sure what size truck they stand on to do it , but they are out of reach. Like they don’t litter regular garbage enough, they have to nail them to trees.
Got one like that here in Clinton county as well lol
If it’s on their own private property they’re free to do as they please.
You'd need to check with whatever township it's in. Like here's East Bradford's policy.
https://eastbradford.org/173/Political-Signs
If it's on public property you could always report your neighbor for littering; take a picture or it'd be a he-said-she-said situation though and probably would only end up in hard feelings for both of you and police grumbling about it being something they can't do anything about without hard proof.
Most places it’s usually that you have to get them off the public lands within a few days to a week after the election. Removing one from your yard May come down to neighborhood rules. But yeah, I am tired of seeing nonstop Trump signs for 6 years on Cambria/Somerset Counties.
There is one of those in my parents neighborhood. Like it’s a permanent structure. I thought it was a makeshift winter bus stop for kids at first. The guy must have been told he cannot have abusive language on it because you can tell he covered swear words about Biden with these little metal signs that have some insane diatribe on each
They must’ve been taught how to do that by Fox, Sinclair, or someone of that ilk.
“Body of Trump”
“Amen”
I’m just tired of seeing signs in general.
Upper Southampton PA you must remove signs within 10 days of election
Public right of way MUST be removed within 30 days of the electin ending. Private property can keep them forever
That would be even stranger if he went to DC to get sworn in a PA Governor
Where in Hanover is this?
HA HA you stole my idea, too chicken though! lol
Not just political signs? All signs? Lol
Man. That’s well written!
Everytime I drive to malvern i see mad mastriano signs lol 😂
I pass by a Rick Santorum sign every day on the side of a barn.
The signs are private property, on public land. Just deal with it.
“I'm triggered by a plastic sign, how can I sue?” are you also bothered by Shapiro/Fetterman signs?
Sue??? Lmao I just want the trash off the grass dude. And yes. All signs should be gone, don’t like them up before the election, I like them less now.
Hopefully gone this time next week. We all need to move on
They’re plastic trash, on the side of the street, in my neighborhood. So, I’d prefer they were done away with sometime soon since ya know, the elections are over.
There are regulations around them, I’m sure they’ll be gone soon.
Is a political sign enough to ruin your day? Just ignore it. Or go take it down yourself.
Northampton County- the dem signs are down but not most of the gop
I honestly will stop at any road intersection after the election is over and take any and all signs, regardless of whose name is on it, throw it in my truck, take it home and dispose of it properly. I’m sick of looking at these signs for months on end without anyone giving two shits about the earth it’s destroying. These signs aren’t even biodegradable! Most are plastic!
The only thing I will not do is go onto people’s private property because then it’s a felony and I’m not going to jail or getting a fine or possibly a gun pulled on me just because I don’t want to look at a sign on my drive home anymore.
There are still trump/pence signs where I’m at 😤
This is what we call "voting against your own interests"
Is it on Strasburg road going towards pomeroy?
Anyone got a paintball gun…? Asking for a friend who may or may not live in Chester county…
That fuckface even put a Bible verse on his signage. John 8:36 if I’m not mistaken. I looked it up and it makes absolutely no sense..
Funny how that works
Its infantile, really no better than screaming because you are upset.
Yep, local zoning codes control here. Some have been changing because zoning and code officers who have to enforce the rules have been threatened by people when asked to take down their signs, sadly.
They’ll be collected, I’m sure. However, they’re up legally, so just deal with it. If you want them, go for it.
Wait until after dark...
Antisemite acknowledging that a Jewish person win? Never 'gon happen.
phoenixville? lol we have one on a large lot at an intersection
yeah fuck those stop signs
Someone in my town took down their Mastriano sign, but their trump stuff hasn’t gone anywhere
Light it on fire
Yes. The one at Mowere and Township Line.
too close for comfort ABORT ABORT
Phoenixville
Lol I don't live there I just drive past
And stop calling me & stop texting me… it made me not want to vote
I nearly took out a median full of Mastriano/oz signs the other day. Realized at the last second that I love my car too much.
It’s the thought that counts. I can almost hear them thud thud thud thud thud
And they make entire neighborhoods look like used car lots.
There is still one in my parents front yard.
I heard the ones with the white rings on the outside are optional?!
They have to be. They don’t appear to be made of degradable materials and there is a large amount of them everywhere.

Property owned by private parties. It’s a misdemeanor in PA to remove the signs. The owners of the signs have 30 days after an election to remove them from public lands before the state removes them and fines who placed them.
[deleted]
Omg….you’re reaching. First of all, personal property is property owned by ONE person. So no, personal property is not the correct term. Those signs are private property owned by groups supporting the candidates.

Seems that law doesn't apply to municipal office? (Ie mayor, sheriff, etc). That sounds like a nightmare.
"Blood of the Donald"
"Praise he"

WTH are you taking about?? A yard sign isn’t land. No one is equating it to land. Private property encompasses many things. A copyright is private property, and just bc it’s private property doesn’t mean it’s related in any way to land, other than they’re both examples of private property.
Did you yell "haha loser" at them?

Judging from the downvotes and comments it just seems you're only bothered by the name, not the sign 🤣
You understand I have but one down vote right? And I just explained to you that I don’t like all plastic signs regardless of name. And yet you still make up your own answer to fit your BS.
[deleted]
So is your ignorance.

Stick to your video games, man.

If you’re worried about that, just say you’re working for their campaign and picking up their signs. I’ve worked on political campaigns in the past and the day after Election Day is spent picking up signs all day. By the looks of it, not every campaign is run that way. There are still a bunch of signs out. Though it is interesting to notice is about 70% the people that lost, 30% the people that won that are still up. Maybe the losers just gave up after the election.
His crew kept promising him he would be “America’s Governor”.
