Election cleanup: City worker (r) explains law to Brown backerCity worker (r) explains law to Brown backer, with clipped sign ties in hand.

Around 12:30 p.m., a worker from the Boston Elections Department showed up at Holy Name School in West Roxbury to begin removing all of the Coakley and Brown signs festooning the wall and fence along West Roxbury Parkway and Centre Street.

The school, which sits on a rise, is traditionally a place where candidates position giant signs - and candidates themselves routinely position themselves right in front of the entrance to the polling station. Mayor Menino himself is a frequent voter accoster on those steps, despite a state law that bans politicking within 150 feet of the entrance to a polling place.

But not today. Even a Brown supporter expressed surprise - he said he figured some Brown person "from the suburbs" dropped a dime and filed a complaint. Even more upset was a Coakley supporter - to whom the election worker was busy handing over signs, one far larger than the supporter herself. The worker said she would either have to do something with the signs or he would just cart them away for disposal.

Martha Coakley apparently didn't learn from John Kerry what not to say. The one saving grace: At least she's doesn't go around cursing out high-school kids.

As Johnk notes, yesterday Scott Brown denounced a rumored pro-Coakley visit by Obama, saying "they're bringing in outsiders and we don't need them."

This morning, Brown was in the North End, campaigning with Giuliani.

You'd think that having reached the age of 40 in a state like Massachusetts, you'd have figured out how party primaries work. Hyde Park poll worker Mike Ball reports that isn't the case:

... Inspector: You are unenrolled. Which ballot would you like, Democratic, Republican or Libertarian?

Voter: I'm an independent.

Inspector: Yes and you have the choice of any of the three ballots. Would you like, Democratic, Republican or Libertarian?

Voter: (angrily) I don’t have to tell you who I’m voting for!
