Super tuesday is less than 24 hours away - and tonight the jackson coujty sheriff's office is looking for whoever is vandalizing campaign signs!
Waay 31's casey albritton spoke with people who said this isn't the first time this has happened!
Billy chele "the sign across the street was painted and i glanced back at the one on my right which was a much bigger sign and noticed there was a good bit of paint on it."
Billy chele has lived in jackson county for 81 years.
He told me when he saw local election signs vandalized the other day, he was upset.
"they don't need to be doing this because it trashes the community."
Chele tells me this happened a few years ago too!
"worse than this....but that was back when we had a school up here and we kind of knew who the bad boys were."
Three candidates have bright orange x's over their signs in jackson county... circuit judge candidate, daryl eustace, county commission candidate, kevin mcbride, and board of education candidate, robbie king.
"some people are willing to do it and spend a good bit of money.
These signs are probably expensive."
Chele says he doesn't think the vandalism will impact the election.
"signs can't vote.
People have a right to put up a sign so long as they put them away immediately after an election."
We did reach out to the candidates for comment.
