Pretty much all "map porn" maps are BS with little to no factual content.

Nothing official, just based on the things he's shared in the local community gossip group on Facebook.

Peter Lawrence, running for town council in Fairfield, was MAGA I believe. There were two seats available among three candidates, and he was one of the two winners.

Honest politicians are kinda like Bigfoot, legend has it they exist but nobody has actually seen one in real life.

I'm surprised this didn't dawn on me sooner, maybe I should keep all these junk flyers I get and deposit them at the doorstep of their respective party headquarters nearest to my house at the end of the campaign season. Maybe then they'll get the hint?

I am a registered independent, as is my wife.

Reply to Political Mailers by JimBones31

One candidate for either state senate or state rep (I don't recall which, I just automatically throw them out upon arrival) actually sends my house THREE flyers every couple of days - one addressed to me, one addressed to the previous owners of our house (who last lived here May 2021) and the previous owners before THEM (not positive exactly when they last lived here, but I believe it's been at least three or four years ago). What a freaking waste.

Edit, wrong year.

This is what drives me bananas these days, actual headlights, not DRLs, should be on whenever it's dark, foggy, or raining.

Hate to break it to you, but it's not exclusive to the democrats. The Maine channels have just as many ads against the democrats as they do for them, and a very low percentage of them are "Paid for and authorized" by the candidate themselves.

It's not just WMUR, it's literally every entertainment channel on the planet, including cable/satellite, YouTube, and streaming services where the user hasn't paid to remove ads. It is worse than ever and it amazes me how they think anybody is influenced one way or the other by that garbage.

Edit to add: As other commenters have mentioned, the mailed political ads alone should be keeping the USPS afloat for the next decade at least. I get AT LEAST five of them a day. And of course if it's happening here, it's happening everywhere else in the country too.
