Judge: Florida election workers are "untrained" in signature matching [View all]

He gave voters until Saturday to correct discrepancies.

“Here, potentially thousands of voters have been deprived of the right to cast a legal vote — and have that vote counted — by an untrained canvassing board member based on an arbitrary determination that their respective signatures did not match,” wrote the judge, appointed to the federal bench in 2012 by then-President Barack Obama. "Such a violation of the right to vote cannot be undone. "


My concern is that not all of those disenfranchised will have time to correct their votes in two days.
