Democratic Candidate Signs Vandalized in Meredith

The recent vandalism of a political sign serves as a reminder that regulations around such displays exist in a gray area.

A campaign sign promoting Kamala Harris for president and Tim Walz for vice president, placed near the intersection of Pleasant Street and Barnard Ridge Road in Meredith by a member of the Meredith Democratic Committee, was cut into pieces and left on the ground at some point Tuesday, committee Chair Richard Demark said Wednesday afternoon.

In New Hampshire, the removal, defacement or destruction of political advertising is a crime and those liable for such actions could face civil penalties up to $1,000, according to the New Hampshire Department of Justice.
