Sign vandalized in Jacksonville: Tensions rise leading to election
A political sign in support of the Biden-Harris Democratic presidential ticket was found vandalized on Saturday, Oct. 3. The four-foot by five-foot sign had been spray painted and uprooted, according to Madeline Ross, recording secretary of the Cherokee County Democratic Club.
