Wait, every single one of the Trump/Pence signs in my neighbourhood were bought and paid for by each individual homeowner, and not coming from the county GOP office?

Saw a pair of Montana-plated lifted smokestack F250's rolling coal and driving aggressively at some Prius up by Pinecrest in the Sierra Nevada mtns on hwy 120 this weekend. They "corralled" that liberal commie frisco car and blasted it with the black smoke of liberty.

I voted on my couch with my girlfriend; we had multiple voter guides and online information on hand for any of the measures and candidates we weren't familiar with already and finished it all while watching Phantasm. The next morning we walked downtown and dropped off our ballots on the way to brunch.

The sooner more states go with Oregon's system, the better off this country will be.

It's amazing how many people turned up for early voting this year. The line was wrapped around the building and I've barely seen anywhere near this many people during any other election. I was pretty surprised not to see a single Trump hat or sign!

I want to know how there are still undecided voters. I know we hear this every election but - how can you be undecided, it's so far over the top we've all gone goofy. This is not blue vs red ideas, one of these people refused to condemn the KKK, among many other things. What is the issue that undecided voters are waiting for, where the candidates say what they REALLY mean?
"when will they put Law&Order back on netflix?"

Ok that is a valid question.

What, how.

Undecided voters aren't really a group of any common narrative significance. Think of them like collecting all the people wearing red on any given day together, and then we pretend they're an actual group of common interest.

There's a bunch of people who are undecided about whether or not they'll vote. Or know they'll vote but are undecided on whether or not they're voting 3rd Party.

There's a bunch of people who are undecided about who to vote for, and they are astoundingly stupid. Just, mind blowingly, jaw dropping stupid. They really can't decide between Hillary and Donny, and god help you if you know them and ask them to make a decision for you.

There's a bunch of people who are undecided about who to vote for, and they also are astoundingly crazy. They're conspiracy theorists of the highest order and honestly think either way the Illuminati Lizard People win.

There's a bunch of people who don't pay any attention to politics. Just don't give a single drat about any of it. However they know that such absolute lack of care is frowned on by society at large, so they always claim to be undecided. Some of them feel important because undecideds are focused on, others go with undecided because they think it's the best way to get people to quit asking them about how the world is run.

There's a bunch of people who know exactly who they're voting for and are on their way to the polls right now. They really don't feel like defending their choice because they know they made it for selfish/superficial reasons and can't defend the choice if challenged. So they say they're undecided and don't have to defend the candidate they're totally voting for.

There's a bunch of people who know exactly who they're voting for and are also batshit crazy. They claim to be undecided because they think that'll help their candidate. It'll get them polled and let them push for their candidate in various venues while pretending to be undecided and "just asking questions" so they can make up their mind.

There's a bunch of people who aren't going to vote, and they know they're not going to vote. Mostly because they don't believe in the system, or because their preferred candidate lost, or they're of the belief their vote is precious and pure and must be saved for the candidate they're going to spend the rest of their life with, or some other horse poo poo. They say they're undecided because it's easier than explaining for the millionth time that voting doesn't matter/lesser of to evils is still evil/they promised daddy to wait for the perfect candidate/whatever.

There's any number more variations of why people don't know/say they don't know. All of these are undecided and that claim is the only thing that actually links them.

The campaign makes the yard signs, or at least their various state arms do. They used to be handed out for free all the time. Now campaigns sometimes charge for them or require volunteering, or still give them out for free. It's up to whatever campaign office. The local GOP probably has nothing to do with the yard signs.

Also yard signs are near universally reviled by anyone who has ever worked on a campaign because the people who whine about yard signs are just the loving worst.
