Judge: Florida election workers are "untrained" in signature matching

The whole idea of signature matching is absurd. Anybody believes that people whose signatures supposedly don't match are actually voting for somebody else?

What would be the motivation for someone to cast a vote in someone else's name? The risks surely outweigh any benefit.

Legally, if i show an ID to prove i'm me, and have someone with me to say i'm telling the truth, i could put an X on that line.

Now my voter card and my poll signature wouldn't even be close to the same, but it's legal.

Fucking florida.

Blow up if you look at them twice!

This particular vote suppression scheme is especially noxious. Imagine a military guy comes back from a combat zone missing the hand he has always written with and is signing with the other hand. Grandma has a stroke and her signature changes. There are all kinds of reasons signatures don't match.

A bank teller one said my signature did not match. At the time I was holding a squirming toddler who was trying to escape. I just stood there and said “really” until she finally handed over my money.

He has macular degeneration and cannot see. I so wonder if his was counted. He would be pissed if it wasn't.

the voter to make a mark and for a witness to sign verifying that it is the voter who signed. My parent has the same issue as your dad. When I apply for the absentee ballot, there's a section for the reason and I always put macular degeneration and loss of central vision.

And as noted up thread nobody is voting twice that shit doesn't happen.

I know I have done election work for years.

It takes a lot of work to have so many random errors.

Vote counting machines are over heating.

Absentee ballots that were sent out too late so that people could vote and
then mail them back in and have that ballot counted.

NY Times:
People voted for Governor but skipped voting for senator.
Ballot design in Broward County is one possible cause of votes cast for one contest but apparently not another.

I'm often paranoid that banks, etc will doubt my signature is mine.

signatures change - a elderly person whose hand shakes
will not have a consistent signature. My signature is
different if my hand is cold or warm. The whole idea of using
a scrawl to identify a person with so many other more
dependable methods available is stupid.
