What Does Your Yard Look Like, Rochester?

For one Patch reader, it's indicative of a not-so-straight ticket.

On the eve of Election Day 2012 we say: "Show us your yard, Rochester!"

Rochester Patch reader Erin Howlett sent us this photograph of her Rochester Hills yard, which is decorated with signs for Democratic President Obama as well Republican candidates Mike Bishop and Mike Rogers. But the fourth sign is the one that tells the story: "Not red. Not blue. Vote Independent."

Howlett considers herself a "long-time Republican now Independent."

"I think there’s more out there than we think," she said. "Less folks are voting straight ticket."
