The presidential election campaign produces some golden moments along the way. Many people of both sides have been disagreeing with one another. Some even disagree with a placement of a sign.
The US Presidential Election is heating up as we edge closer and closer to November 3rd. President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence square up against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris of the Democratic party.
The race has had some fiery moments throughout the campaign but, it seems it is just as fiery amongst supporters.
There have been many stories on this matter as voters of both sides have been trying to deface or, steel signs. Sign owners came up with ways in dealing with this problem. Supporters have gone as far as to protect theirs, with some installing CC-TV to capture the culprits on camera. For others, setting booby- traps is the solution to protecting them.
