ACLU Fights to Count Mass-Mail Ballots Even if Signatures Don't Match Voter Rolls

Signature matching practices are facing mounting legal challenges as millions are expected to cast their ballots by mail in this year's general election.

An estimated 75 percent of Americans will be able to vote by mail in the upcoming presidential election, which comes as Democrat politicians continue in their attempts to use the Chinese coronavirus pandemic to push mass mail-in voting - a long-pursued agenda item of the Democrat Party.

In Indiana, for example, the board matches the signature "On a provided affidavit printed on the outside of a return envelope." There remain countless instances of boards rejecting ballots due to discrepancies in the signatures.

Over 550,000 ballots were rejected in the 2020 primaries alone for several reasons, one of which included mismatched signatures.

Voters, the groups contend, should have "Sufficient notice of purportedly mismatched signatures and the opportunity to fix those mismatches when boards of elections mistakenly reject their ballots and ballot applications on the basis of signature mismatches."

In the meantime, Democrats are scoring legal victories, too: In Indiana, a federal judge ruled that election officials cannot reject ballots for dissimilar signatures without notifying the voter and giving him or her-aided, of course, by partisan allies-a chance to "Cure" the ballot.

If they sign with a name that does not match the name in their voter registration file, or attempt to recreate their old signature, it may trigger a signature mismatch.
