Unless you change your name, your signature should never change.

It does change over time. My signature on my Soc. Security card from when I was a little kid and got my first job looks nothing like the loop with a chicken scratch that it has become.

But regardless, I prefer in-person voting only, and you have to stick your finger in purple ink when you vote to ensure no double voting. That's how it should be.

It does change over time. Check out how much Nixon's signature evolved during his presidency...

Eventually, everyone’s signature turns into a scribble.

your signature should never change.

Actually, your signature varies slightly almost each time you sign your name. Yes, they will be very similar, but there will be inconsistencies and very minor differences.

One way that handwriting experts can tell a fake signature, from a real one, is that the fake will be a perfect duplication in multiple iterations. That is how the forger practices the signature.

Try it yourself: sign your name five times and see if it varies. I know mine does.

There are going to be challenges, no doubt about it. The good news for “our” side, is that the fraud is likely going to be very limited to just the handful of “blue” counties in any given state. We just need to make sure we have enough of our people in those places to monitor the counting of the mail-in votes. Also, we still will need traditional poll-watchers to make sure they don’t commit fraud the old fashioned way. I think it *is* possible to keep the fraud to a minimum, but our side is going to have to put in the effort.

It goes without saying, there is only ONE way to vote. Live and in person, with a pin and on paper.. Anything else is a farce...

Mine is not the same. I do not have a consistent signature.

This is an ongoing war by the globalist, New World Order forces against the sovereign United States of America, with Soros and his minions subverting our country day by day. Many of his allies are among us in high positions in government, the media, and education.

Nothing less, and I'm not being overly dramatic here.

Their usual trick is to have more votes from counties than there are registered voters.

Big Media complies and assists.

After a severe illness my handwriting changed. Cursive became much more difficult and stiffly written. My signature, though not as clear, remains unmistakably mine.

Handwriting analysis isn’t easy and the certificate to be trained in that is very expensive. And it is very subjective even then (part of my job involves reading handwriting analysts’ reports for forgery claims).

Here in CA I don’t vote by mail because I presume my signature no longer matches the one I originally used when registering years ago—and even if it did they could still decide it didn’t and toss my ballot into the SF Bay.


It's really not that difficult. First, the local officials check. Those that are very clearly not even the same name, toss. Those that are obviously not the same signature, toss. Those that are questionable, can be sent through the normal 'expert' verification process, or the voter contacted to verify their ballot. Same process as the provisional ballots when you have no ID. Or, just skip the expert entirely, and simply contact the voter for any questionable ballots.

This is a really bad decision for Trump, mainly because of the totally unjustified extension of the deadline for receiving mailed-in ballots. State law says mailed ballots must be received by 8 p.m. on Election Day, but the state can grant relief on deadlines in an emergency. But this Covid-19 epidemic is a lengthy problem that’s been going on for months and is not in any way a sudden emergency that justifies extension of the deadline for receiving mailed-in ballots. There is no justification whatsoever for extending that deadline, and such an extension is a serious threat to the integrity of this election for reasons that several posters have mentioned. A three day extension gives corrupt election workers time to figure out exactly how many ballots they need to forge with votes for Biden, to overcome Trump’s lead on election day.

The Trump campaign should definitely appeal that part of the decision to Federal court or the US Supreme Court. There’s no valid reason for extending that deadline, because obviously the epidemic does not prevent anyone from mailing in a ballot well ahead of the current deadline on election day. This extension by the court is a extremely suspicious, because there’s no valid reason for any extension and it clearly threatens the integrity of the election. Use of dropboxes looks like less of a problem to me, because people can cheat just as easily by mailing in a ballot. It’s more the handling and unloading of the dropboxes that could be a problem, and thus Republican poll workers must be allowed to watch the handling and unloading of these dropboxes.

The Trump campaign must appeal this decision and get it overturned, otherwise the President may lose a close election in Pennsylvania to vote fraud by corrupt election workers. Pennsylvania is a key state in this election and we have to win it, so if all else fails I would appeal this to the US Supreme Court and have a long talk with the five Republican appointees about ballot forging by liberal election workers. Then get this part of the decision reversed and keep the deadline on election day.

Hit the streets jack instead of casting stones!! Registering folk is 100x’s better then just donating! Trump needs our help every which way we can help him! And yes not only am I registering people I’m also donating the few $ that I can!! So yes it gives me the right to bitch off about the Republican RINOS and our no good headquarter RNC!! JUST take a hard look at girly Graham and our no good RINOS at the HILL!! ! Enuff said!!

No use in one-upping on who does what to support Trump in this election or what work is of more value...it’s ALL of value. Each will do what they can and that is sufficient. The outcome is in the hands of the Almighty....
