If only illegally stabbed into the public right-of-way, yard signs are of minimal value to a candidate who is likely going to lose anyways. But a yard sign used properly -- placed in the yard of a well-respected neighborhood leader -- is going to sway some votes. Having a yard sign likely will inspire a supporter to donate and volunteer more. Unfortunately, all the illegal yards signs are perhaps necessary for name recognition and as physical evidence the campaign has visited an area. I'd been super-double-happy if municipalities aggressively removed all illegally posted signage. But such a policy would be fraught with charges of favoritism.
