Signs for Harris and Trump have taken a beating in Carroll County from north to south, say Democrat and Republican leaders.
Randy Bickford, owner of East Coast Foundation Co. at 388 Whittier Highway in Moultonborough, said he let the Carroll County Democrats put some Harris/Walz signs on his property. Within hours, a large hole was cut from the center of one 4-by-8-foot sign.
