RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) — As the race to win North Carolina heats up, people around the Triangle say campaign signs continue to be stolen .
“It’s not going to change my mind at all,” said Lois Edwards.
Edwards says she’s had signs showing support for Vice President Kamala Harris stolen out of the front yard of her Raleigh home twice.
“I feel unsettled, because it means, especially the first time, it was late at night, very late at night, that somebody was on my property,” she said.

In the latest instance, she says her neighbor, who also has a sign for the vice president, had his sign damaged.
Edwards is using this incident to double down on her support, donating $40 to each the Harris campaign and Planned Parenthood, “If I’m going to lose my sign, I’m going to put it to good work.”
But it’s an issue impacting supporters of both candidates.
“It does happen, and it’s foolish,” said James Powers.
Powers has spent each day of early voting at the site at Bond Park in Cary. The entrance to the park was the site of a video that’s recently gone viral on social media, showing people ripping up signs supporting former President Donald Trump.
