Driftless area political signs

A drive through Wisconsin's driftless area yesterday found pretty much the same number of Biden signs as Trump. I think my final count was 24 Biden 25 Trump, but I spaced out a couple of times. My memory lapses are nonpartisan however, so I think the numbers are pretty good. That's encouraging given a month ago it was twice as many Trump signs.

And it was all Romney and Ryan signs everywhere, as well as signs for whoever was running against Rep. Ron Kind. Nauseating and I bet it was even worse in 2016.

So glad to hear your report. My formerly red, now blue area is showing Biden-Harris signs as well, which is sort of miraculous.

Last election I didn't see a lot of Trump signs along hwy 35 down toward Pepin, and Stockholm (pop. 90) was full of Scott Walker haters because of the sand mining. Haven't been down there lately, though.
