Instances of vandalism, threats and even violence has been a common occurrence across America during this year’s presidential election. Donald Trump signs have been burned, ripped and vandalized throughout the nation, a streak local party leaders and elected officials say is unprecedented. A Republican office in North Carolina was firebombed in October. Gainesville resident, Judy Beaty, experienced repeated vandalism and theft at her house this year. In Loudoun County, a Republican campaign office in Sterling received a threat.
