Signatures of Florida voters whose registration changed to Republican different than prior samples

Signatures of some voters in apartment buildings and high-rise towers in South Florida whose registration was changed to Republican appeared noticeably different than on paperwork those same voters signed earlier, according to a new review of voting records.

The signature comparisons, performed this week in Miami as journalists from the University of Florida College of Journalism and Communications investigated possible voter registration fraud, found that some past and present signatures showed obvious differences in size of letters, and strokes and flourishes of individual elements of names.

The review focused on paperwork for a small sample of a dozen voters who said in interviews that their party affiliation was changed to Republican despite never submitting the changes themselves, not approving anyone else to do so or not realizing it was done.

The differing signatures add to mounting circumstantial evidence of shady political tricks in South Florida, suggesting that unidentified canvassers during the weeks around Thanksgiving may have changed the party affiliation without permission of mostly elderly, Hispanic voters living in public housing in the area to make them Republicans.

They don't expect to accomplish anything. Just anything for cheating and dirty tricks. Walleye Feb 2022 #3
They may be trying to get ballots tossed for people who say they are Democrats. L. Coyote Feb 2022 #4

I'm wondering if they were compensated for every new Republican voter they registered or convinced to switch party affiliation? Perhaps they were trying to prevent these voters from casting a ballot in the Democratic primary?

I’m convinced that most Republicans have lost whatever morals and ethics they may have had
