Turned Off by Come Ons in Cedar Rapids Primary
Cedar Rapids held a city primary last Tuesday with 10 997 participating out of more than 58 000 registered voters. The heavy use of election signs failed to translate into votes for the 18 candidates and drew complaints about visual clutter. Officials remind that signs on public property or utility poles are illegal, but enforcement is weak and most signs remain until weather erodes them. The piece notes signs did not boost candidate success and predicts a possibly more tasteful future, if any. Also referenced is the Pittsburgh World Series riot with 98 arrests and 128 hospitalized, police deeming the event a jubilant celebration run wild, echoing “boys will be boys” for mobs.
