Is this even a thing anywhere other then the US? I am honestly asking because I see no reasoning for it. Has anybody in the entire world ever been convinced to vote for someone based on a sign that says: somebodies name, what they are running for, and most of the time, nothing else? Sometimes the political party?
Seriously all they are is for people to "Rep" the party they agree with like it is a sports team (An analogy that I have heard many times recently)
Shit like this;
Or things like "Vote yes on prop xx!!!!" saying nothing about what it is. Nobody is going to be convinced by a sign saying that. If it is for "get out the vote!" type things, maybe say that instead of a stupid sign that clutters up my view while I am out jogging.
