If they are out of reach they stay up until the state bucket truck comes by. That can be months sometime. We are facing ruthless forces who will never give up power without a fight. KEEP FIGHTING!

(Our town allows posting at polling places only on election day, for instance - other towns require that signs be held by live people...) Putting up signs on utility poles and the like is absolutely verboten... If he was putting up signs on supporter's property, then Mass. would prohibit their removal, but... I guess laws must vary widely from state to state - I know I'm always amazed at the "sign wars" on street corners in NH when we go up there...

As to registration rights, the state court judge who ruled against the Libertarian and Green Parties at the end of May did such a careless job, he didn't even mention that point, even though it had been thoroughly discussed at the trial. The appeals court may do a better job.
