Portland, Maine road sign reprogrammed to show a political message

An electronic road sign on Brighton Avenue, owned by a local sand and gravel company, was reprogrammed to display a political message, according to a WGME photo reposted by Boing Boing. The report said a password left at default or unlocked controls could explain the change, and no police or company statement was found.
