Pennsylvania voters went to the polls in the state primary on Tuesday, but the turnout was low in many precincts, with many uncontested races on some ballots. Some voters took the opportunity to pick up campaign yard signs that they will put in their yards to promote their favored candidate during the coming election season. Party members often sit near the door of polling places, show voters the ballot, advocate for certain candidates, and sometimes hand out yard signs.

The presidential race was a foregone conclusion, with President Joe Biden taking 93 percent of the Democrat votes, and former President Donald Trump earning 84 percent to get the Republican nod. Also still on the ballot in Pennsylvania were Democrat Dean Phillips with seven percent and Republican Nikki Haley, who received 17 percent of the votes, although both have left the race.
