My parents met because they were staffers for different California legislators back in the 80s, and in that time both their candidates sent their campaign staff around with trucks on *election night* to pick up every sign they had put in place. They kept a list of all the locations and rounded them all up as soon as the polls closed. Just the big ones, not the individual lawn signs that private citizens had put out, but still, they at least got rid of the bulk of them right away.
My grandmother was chairwoman of Reagan’s southern California campaign efforts and they had the same policy, though I imagine it came down to the county campaigns to actually implement it. Though I don’t think they did it on election night, it was all the next day.
That was all about thirty years ago of course...
My dad’s run for a few local offices in his years and he always did the same. Never won though.
