My roommate went to get an Obama yard sign yesterday only to find that they don’t exist in our state. Apparently yard signs are being reserved for states where spending a few extra bucks on a sign will hopefully sway some of the more reluctant voters. We put campaign signage up on our door instead but I was still aching for a yard sign- what can I say? I haven’t been rooting for a candidate this much in a long time.

I was trying to think about how to make a sign more interesting than the predictable schtick of campaign colors and symbolism. I decided to go with a Rubus puzzle in hopes of confusing my neighbors just enough to force us to have a conversation about it.

My original intention was for the sign to read: “I vote for change”, with the word “change” repeated four times to prompt “for” but as I made it I realized it could also read: “I vote for change again and again”
