Show Us Your Election Bling

Democrats, Republicans, local races to national races: as election day grows near, supporters of all leanings are literally wearing their ideology on their sleeve in the most creative ways.

From buttons to funny hats, how do you show support for your candidate?

We want to see your election bling! Click the "Upload Your Photos and Videos" button that accompanies this story to share yours with everyone.

Got pics of your political buttons, from 2012 or from elections past? Have photos of your yard signs, bumper stickers or posters supporting your favorite candidate? Show them off here!

Full disclosure: We've posted this story on all 23 of our Patch sites across the Tampa Bay area because we want to see all our neighbors and communities represented, including local candidates as well as state and national.

And also: We realize this gallery started out a little GOP-heavy, simply because of the Republican National Convention coming to Tampa last month and all the GOP candidate stumping that has followed. We want to see some Democrats and independents represented too, so let's see what you've got!
