7. That depends on how far away they are

Typically, there is a statutory boundary of between 250 feet to as much as 1000 feet away from all entrances to the polling place inside of which electioneering is prohibited. Electioneering can include: buttons or clothing which supports a candidate or measure on the current ballot, signs, pamphlets, addressing voters with the intent of swaying their votes, etc.

If the signs are within this boundary, they are illegal.
