There's a common phrase in the campaign business: "Lawn signs don't vote." They are more trouble than they are worth, and they can give your laziest and cheapest supporters the impression they are actually accomplishing something.
You will be happy to know however that fivethirtyeight.com is presently predicting Trump as the victor in Ohio. But you won't like what else they are predicting.
I think that's more utter bullshit. Why in the world would someone go to the bother of putting a sign up if they weren't planning on voting, that says to me the person is above avg passion on elections. I consider myself of avg. enthusiasm on elections and if I were to ever , EVER go to the bother of putting a sign up in my yard it means I'm sure as hell gonna be voting...
True, but your yard sign isn't going to do shit when it comes to influencing anyone else, so you might as well hang it in your living room. Worse, it allows a campaigns laziest supporters to con themselves into thinking they are accomplishing something. They aren't.
So far this year I've been to two Hillary events and worked out of two major campaign offices, and there wasn't one person providing or selling yard signs. Over the last four days of the election I'll be hosting a major staging area for volunteer canvassers, and we won't have a single yard sign available. Yes, yard signs are that useless.
