Counting Signs in Rural Michigan Doesn't Mean Jack

The Democrats’ signs are stolen and used for target practice. I am not kidding. Dad used to do republicans’ signs the same way when he was alive.

Note:The further you get from the southeast corner of Michigan the more rural it is.

Disclaimer: I am not advocating this practice. It just is.

least in MO, they do something about it (the missing signs). KY3 by the way, is in Springfield MO, the SW corner (roughly) in Missouri. Of course, you got to be lucky enough to catch the thugs on camera, or in the act, so you can report them.

NIXA, Mo. (KY3) - Police arrested three in an investigation of political sign thefts in Nixa, Mo.

Early Tuesday morning, the Nixa Police Department responded to the area of Glacier Court and Parkmore Heights for a report of individuals in a white SUV stealing political signs from front yards. An officer on an unrelated traffic stop observed a driver matching a description. During the investigation, police recovered 36 political signs. Police submitted a report to the city’s prosecutor for charges.

If you believe you were the victim of a political sign theft Tuesday morning, please contact the Nixa Police Department at (417) 582-1030. Theft victims may recover their signs at the Nixa Police Department. Police returned seven of the signs.

5. In the 2020 elections, 75% of the vote got in MI came from urban or mostly urban counties

In Wayne County alone, metro Detroit area, TFG got as many votes there as he did in all of the Upper Peninsula and much of the northern half of Lower Michigan combined.

Tudor Dixon and other Rs running for state wide office will get beaten in a historic landslide if the R candidates running statewide got a majority of their vote from counties classified as rural or mostly rural
