6. SOUNDBITE (English) David Dulio, Oakland University professor:
“A lot of voters just don’t want the grief that could come their way if they have a lawn sign in their yard for a particular candidate. And again, I think that’s weighted toward Trump. But people just don’t want to — even Trump supporters — they just don’t want to hear it from their neighbors. They don’t want to take the risk of somebody confronting them or tearing down their lawn sign or whatever might happen.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Jack Robertson, Michigan Trump supporter:
“Yeah, I notice a lot of people say, ‘Well, I’m not putting a sign out. Neighbors down the street will get mad. They’ll do this and that.’ So what? You have a right to do what you want to do. As long as you’re not hurting anybody in the process.”

11. SOUNDBITE (English) David Dulio, Oakland University professor:
“I think a lot of this lawn sign debate and the questions that surround absence or presence of lawn signs can be tied back to the polarization that we see in our politics today.”
