12. They should just drop signatures altogether. In both states I've lived in, there IS no signature

In both TX and LA, there IS no signature on file. You can register online. The registration site links to the Dept of Motor Vehicles, so it can authenticate your photo ID and citizenship automatically (proof of citizenship is required to get a driver's license).

The signature requirement in this day and age is ridiculous! I guess that means voters can't register online there.

They need to enter the 21st Century and drop that manual comparing of signatures, which is ridiculous. That is totally subjective, anyway. Someone needs to sue to remove the signature requirement altogether.
