  • Nick Ignacio, independent candidate for Spotsylvania County clerk of court, stands by a rash of campaign signs at an early voting location in Fredericksburg, Va., on Oct. 17, 2023.

Republicans and Democrats alike said civility is in short supply in local races for school board and other offices in Tuesday's elections and dirty tricks are widely seen. A judge subsequently barred Ignacio from giving out the sheets. In Virginia, far-right candidates are looking to take over a number of school boards or expand their slim majorities while the left fights fiercely to gain ground. (AP Photo/Cal Woodward)
