VIDEO: Tulsa deputies diverted from regular patrol duties to pick up illegal campaign signs

Tulsa County Sheriffs Deputies are busy this afternoon.

They're being diverted from regular patrol duties to pick up illegally placed campaign signs.

Deputies tell KRMG that they've been sent to more than 30 polling places with signs too close to the ballot box.

State law makes it illegal for signs to be placed within 300 feet of the ballot box.
