A resident of Walton County, Florida is facing $63,000 in penalties for displaying large Donald Trump banners at his residence. The local authorities are imposing daily fines on this Trump supporter for the prominent political displays outside his property.
Marvin Peavy tells Fox News "they are going to stay up because I am fighting [for] my First Amendment right."
"Walton County has tried to come in and say their rights are better than my First Amendment right and they cannot supersede my First Amendment right," he added. "I've hung probably ten to twelve different signs."
"It's been an expensive fight, but I keep fighting and I've had people offering to pay but I tell them 'I've got it," Peavy also said.
As the presidential campaign approaches its final days, Vice President Harris and former President US Trump focus their attention on Wisconsin, recognising its significance in the election.
In Georgia, election security concerns emerged when Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger reported the circulation of what he described as an "obviously fake" video, potentially created by Russian operatives.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency are currently conducting the investigation of this video.
