I would not make a political decision based on yard signs but there are many "low information voters" who will never watch a political debate and spend little or no time watching the news to keep themselves well informed. And, unfortunately they vote. It is just my opinion but if there were an intelligence test to qualify to vote many elections would turn out entirely different.

Here is an example of a real talk show with a low information voter:

You don't pay for my welfare she says? Obama does, it comes from his stash which comes from the illegal aliens?? I have heard Obama's stash before but never the illegal aliens paying for it part. People really are numb aren't they!!!?? If you didn't listen to this, you should.

I agree the signs are messy and most of them are illegal but it has gone on forever and almost never enforced. They do need to get their names out there. And for people like the above low information voter, it is probably the only way they are ever going to hear of some of these people. Although I agree, you shouldn't vote if you are uninformed. They do have a limited number of days to pick the signs up (is it 30?).
