An election volunteer cut his hands on a Trump-Pence sign after someone allegedly put blades on it and used it to cover an official polling sign in Plano.
A friend dropping off an election worker about 6:15 a.m. Tuesday noticed a campaign sign for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump at the Spring Creek Campus of Collin College, 2800 East Spring Creek Parkway, Collin College spokeswoman Lisa Vasquez said in a statement.
The friend stopped as he left the campus to help re-position the sign to the correct location because it was blocking the official polling site sign. When he did so, box-cutter blades attached to the Trump-Pence sign cut his hands.
The man chose to treat the minor cuts himself and not seek medical attention, Vasquez said.
The incident was reported to campus police and the Texas Rangers.
"All campaign signs on the college's campuses are being inspected, and any sharps found on signage will be removed," Vasquez said. "The college will be working with local election officials and both political parties to ensure safety."
Polling locations are open for early voting and election day is Nov. 8. For more coverage on the presidential election, click here.
