Does Campaign Information Affect Your Vote?
With signs covering the landscape, and the mailbox stuffed with flyers, we wondered if voters read them.
The election season is in high gear, and candidates for all local offices and parties are busy making sure you know their names.
Your mailbox probably has a steady stream of flyers telling you to vote for Candidate A because Candidate B is mean to dogs, or asking for your support for Candidate B because Candidate A hates the color yellow.
Does it matter to you?
We wondered if voters consider the information on the flyers, or if the signs lining many roadways impact how votes will be cast.
Certainly some campaigning is done in hopes of keeping supports for one candidate of another home—have you ever not voted for a candidate because of such negative campaigning?
Tell us in the comments how campaign literature affects—or doesn't—how you will vote next week.
