4. This will be a huge issue in FL because Voldemort's of signature mismatch system.

In 2018 well over 100,000 votes were disqualified by this system for the signature not matching "exactly" the signature on the voting registration. They didn't do this "exacting" process for early voting or in-person voting, just the mail in kind. I wouldn't vote by mail in any state with this voter suppression BS. EArly voting is extremely popular in my state and I pray that continues. I will gear up and vote in person - early - to ensure my vote actually counts and the repugs won't have an excuse to invalidate it. Oh, and the state was supposed to let anyone know whose signature "couldn't be verified" and they could come in and verify their identity. I was working for Fl Dems and calling these people and not one had received the letter from the state - they are fucking lying about this. This is nothing more than a voter suppression tool which disallows the votes of older people at very high levels because our writing changes as we age.
