Signs at polling places

Tonight Linda and I went around to 18 polling places to put up “Vote Yes on Judicial Retention” signs.  We covered the Palmerton and Lehighton areas.  Tomorrow night I will drive around and pick them up.  

Does this do any good?  The old cliche in campaign lore is: “1/2 of the money in any campaign is wasted.  The problem is–you don’t know which half.”  I think most people who come to the polling places to cast their votes already know how they plan to vote and ignore the signs.  On the other hand, this is a low information election.  Suppose you influence one out of a hundred voters.  In a close election, one percent can be the difference between victory and defeat.  So we put the signs up.
