It’s great to see election season finally over. Now we can remove the political signs that have junked up our horizon for two months. Wouldn’t it be great if Arizona prohibited political signs? I pick up trash year-round, and it literally takes a year to collect them all. Unfortunately, political signs aren’t the only trash left behind. Election season brings sensationalized claims designed to generate social-media clicks, discredit opponents and influence voters. Facts? Apparently optional. Our society has accepted trashing opponents regardless of the damage to families, institutions or communities. During the Deer Valley Unified School District Governing Board race, several candidates made completely false claims about the district’s demise.
OPINION — Was the 2026 midterm election really a “blue wave” or was it another wave of disgust with politics as usual? The real winners in 2026 may have been independent-minded voters.
