Yard sign report from Butler County

[Warpy]

18. I think a change in yard signs is a damned good metric

and quite possibly better than any formal poll because anyone willing to pay a few bucks for a yard sign is going to vote because they're aware and engaged.

I'm in NM and I went to a doctor appointment in a town to the northwest and didn't see a single sign anywhere. I'm taking that as a sign of maintaining the people we've got (Governor Lujan-Grisham has been wonderful, as has Rep. Melanie Stansbury). People here do vote and they're voting in large numbers, poll workers told me they had a line across a large parking lot early in the day and expected another one when people started to get off work. That's my metric, right there.

My neighbors weren't sure about me, an old person who was financially independent, but I told one of them if I ever tried to vote for a Republican my right arm would hop off and try to beat some sense into me. My 'hood is navy blue.
