NV’s sec'y of state, seeing high number of rejected ballots in Clark and Washoe, says biggest issue is signatures of younger voters don’t always match what’s on their driver’s licenses:

“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”

THERE'S STILL TIME TO SIGN UP TO BALLOT CURE IN NV

Ballot Cure Phone Bank · 2024 NV Victory

We need your help to make sure every voter’s ballot counts in this critical election! Join NV Dems in making phone calls to voters who need to “cure” their mail-in ballots. The process is simple, but voters only have until Nov 12th to do so. With thousands of ballots on the line, we must ensure every vote counts. Training will be provided to volunteers at the beginning of each phone bank shift.

@kims that's insane

@kims it is wild to me that “signatures” is how we validate identity and authenticity for so many things.

@kims I hope governments eventually realize that signature verification is basically pseudoscience and probably even less reliable in cases like these.

@kims Mine didn't match and I'm not young .... just because I had been signing things really fast and digitally, *unlike* the driver's license.
I suspect it happens a lot -- I know a person in front of me was told to sign again, because it needed to match ...

How good is your "official" signature going to be, when you have to do it with your FINGER on a touchscreen at the DMV?

@kims The terrible intersection of first world problems with the upcoming generation who may have never filled out or signed a paper document in their lives, and think that writing anything by hand is a dead skill.

@kims if I sign with the same pen on ten lines of the same sheet of paper maybe 2 or 3 look roughly the same. I'm pre -old

@kims What an absurdly stupid anachronistic garbage reason to invalidate someones vote. Good lord.

@kims 'Young' is a long way behind me and *I* don't have a signature. We should kill signatures along with handshakes and neckties; they were *never* useful and *always* harmful.
