Across Pennsylvania — especially in rural communities — tens of thousands of yard signs supporting Joe Biden have popped up as his fans try to replicate how President Trump showed his growing support in the state when he was campaigning in 2016. And, just as quickly, some of those signs have been vanishing.
It usually happens in the dark of night, local Democrats say, but sometimes in daylight. Sometimes entire streets or neighborhoods are cleared. Pro-Biden Facebook groups have devoted long threads to strategies for deterring sign snatchers — one suggestion involves clear hair gel and pesky glitter, another electrifying the metal frame with a car battery.
While sign thefts are a problem every election year for candidates of both parties — and are an ongoing source of headaches for campaign staffers and party officials — some Democrats in Pennsylvania and several other states insist it’s worse for them this year and illustrates the emotional intensity of the coming election. While there are examples of Trump signs also disappearing, there hasn’t been the same level of public outcry.
Campaign staffers frequently roll their eyes at the utility of campaign signs, preferring to spend their time and money on higher-tech sales pitches. But as the Trump campaign proved in 2016, signs can create a momentum for a candidate all on their own, persuading people that siding with a candidate, even a controversial one, is safe.

That which was not there cannot vanish!
Payback is a bitch.
False reportings of signs like false cases of COVID-19.

Exactly. It’s the Wash Post so it could all be made up. But, if true, dems are just getting the same treatment they have given Repubs for decades and they don’t like it.
False flag. It’s all they got.
Fake news BS
Funny, here is the PHilly burbs, my Trump sign lasted less than 8 hours, along with support the police and others. The entire road was stripped of pro country, pro police signs, and we were the first house to have a Tump sign....all gone.
Yet day in day out all the Biden signs, three or four of them, are still there.
We filed a police report, and they thanked us for supporting the police and knew all about the thefts...and mentioned that it was odd that Biden signs remained untouched.
Fake news. Nobody is stealing Biden signs.
My guess would be that the real truth is that it is the Trump signs that are disappearing. This is the WP. Pure lies and manipulation. Even worse than the NYT’s. Even worse than CNN. Nothing they say is to be believed. And I will never intentionally click on a link to their website.
Centre County, home to PSU?
I could count the number of Biden signs I’ve seen in the southern tier on one hand.
If signs are being removed it’s probably by the homeowners who didn’t give permission for them to be put there to begin with.

*****************************************
The Compost is doing the equivalent of Nancy Pelosi loudly proclaiming “I was set up!”. They’re trying to explain the absence of Biden signs on phantom, non-existent Republican sign thief’s.
In semi-rural Lehigh county and Berks county. Nothing but, not only signs, but tons of Trump flags. Even in Allentown I haven’t seen biden signs. Although one guy told me his neighborhood had them. People around the Lehigh valley are wearing Trump hats also.
Absolute BS.
You don’t dare post a trump sign out of fear of reprisal.
If seen many Biden signs in the typical left wing strongholds. Very few trump signs
Silent majority displays nothing.
Bunch of liars.
Tens of thousands in rural areas. /sarc
there should be dozens incidents caught on security cameras. show them.
