 web posted September 5, 2007 COUNTY – Republican candidates for the District 25 Senate seat left open by the resignation of Democrat Tommy Moore are complaining of political signs vanishing or being vandalized in Edgefield County as the September 18 primary draws near. On Tuesday candidate Bill Hixon called to report one of his political signs being vandalized and candidate Chris Corley wrote to EdgefieldDaily.com to report his signs being stolen, and in one case being placed on private property in what he described as an attempt to cause discourse with the property owner. “Over the past few weeks I have received numerous calls from voters in the Merriweather and Sweetwater areas of Edgefield, as well as McCormick and Saluda counties regarding the lack of signs. They question why I do not have signs in those areas. This issue is not due to lack of concern for the area, but to theft. I have put many, many signs in these areas. Unfortunately, they disappear. A total 150 yard signs and about 20 large signs have been removed. Signs have been stolen out of my supporters’ front yards. Just last week a number of signs were stolen and tossed into my Mother in Law's yard,” Mr. Corley wrote. Mr. Corley continued, “Someone even went as far to remove one of my large signs and move it onto private property in Edgefield. When I received a call from an angry constituent about the removal of sign we (my team and I) had no clue how or when it was placed there.” Mr. Corley and Mr. Hixon are not the only two candidates complaining and the Edgefield County Sheriff’s Office has stepped up patrols in the area. Supporters of Shane Massey have also sent reports of signs being removed or run over in the Merriwether area in several locations. Authorities have no leads as to who is behind the recent rash of political sign thefts and vandalisms. For all
