Hmmm...now that you mention it...It probably would have been better if they showed a person actually acting like they were VOTING. Either way it's better than the alternative of just plastering every inch with "afiches" and painting every little inch with the ugly colors of the political parties. I remember they used to even paint the roads...and yes I mean the actual road not just the side walks.
I'm sure a lot, maybe the majority, now on dr1 weren't here for past elections when everything was painted--not just once, but many times for the same election. There would be a political rally in a town and in preparation, telephone poles, walls, everything was painted the color of the party holding the rally. A few days, maybe a week later, another party would hold a rally and everything painted by the previous group was painted the color of the party holding the new rally.
I remember in Samana there was a beautiful mural of a sea scene painted on a wall along the malecon. Even that was not spared.
Personally, I don't care who got paid for the signs. The important thing is there seems to be far less defacement than in the past.
In Sosua, it is hard to believe that we are less than 3 weeks from an election, after several rallies held here by different parties, there is still no defacement of anything on the main streets that I have seen.
Those responsible for the change are to be commended.
