In an advertisement funded by his office using state dollars, Montana Secretary of State Corey Stapleton is urging Montanans who vote by mail to invalidate their votes by signing them. In a commercial that has run at least a few times including right before last weeks State of the Union address, Montanas top election official tells Montana voters to always remember to sign their ballots.
This is terrible advice and, if followed, would likely lead to the vote being disqualified.

I have seen this PSA several times and didn't like it. I thought it was because of my dislike of Stapleton, but now I know I was trying to understand why the message is wrong.
Don't listen to Stapleton!
