Pennsylvania: Mail ballots can’t be discarded over signature

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — With concerns rising in Pennsylvania that tens of thousands of mail-in ballots will be discarded in the presidential election over technicalities, officials in the presidential battleground told counties they aren’t allowed to reject a ballot solely because an election official believes a signature doesn’t match the one in the voter’s file.

The new guidance from Pennsylvania’s Department of State — that state law does not allow counties to set aside mail-in ballots based on their signature analysis — prompted the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania and the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh to drop a lawsuit in federal court Monday.

This is complete bullshit.

Absentees have always been discriminated by signatures.

It is a built-in legal challenge.

I am sure the Trump people know about this and are waiting.

This is how they’ll steal the election. Inability to confirm a voter’s existence is an automatic disqualifer. No excuses. There are no “democratic” elections anywhere in the world that this would be allowed.

True story of the days when checks were used often at grocery, drug and retail stores.

One check fraud criminal used the signature “You Lose” on dozens of checks and bored clerks took them.

Black woman I worked with had a friend who tried “Cool Breeze” but after only one accepted phony check was caught (given probation). She called him a fool.

How can this even be Constitutional?

America’s voting systems are becoming extremely unequal in that all standards are rapidly changing and being manipulated. Procedures, checks and management of mail-in requests, time of post-mark, time of return, government handling, signatures, period of review are all becoming greatly different.

And unequal standards, applied randomly and unequally - means ones voting rights and access vary greatly from state to state and town to town. This has got to be against both 14th and 15th amendments, as well as the Voting Rights Act.

Are these only for absentees, or for anonymous "Mail-in" votes?

Seems like Trump is being denied due process of law.

Lack of effective signature checking is going to encourage outgoing ballot mail theft in Republican leaning areas by Democrats.

If there is any doubt about a mail-in vote, the envelope should secured to the ballot to permit accurate and verifiable appellate court review.

I’m pretty sure they’re for absentees, as they have to match application and vote signatures. This is really bad for PA, as vote counting doesn’t start until the morning of the election, so there’s the temptation to just count all votes as in without checking signatures.

On the other hand, the election results are going to come in without a lot of these absentees, so it might seem that PA went solid red at first.

The best thing we can do is put pressure on Biden to concede.

Signature alone should not invalidate a ballot. I sign my name different ways, and maybe I don’t have my registration card to see how I signed. I sign differently when in a hurry. Signatures change over time.

Pure propaganda that “concerns are rising” that fraudulent ballots will be discarded.

This must be a "TRIAL BALLOON" to see just HOW STUPID the public may be.

The LIBERALS will ALWAYS attempt to STEAL right in front of your eyes and then claim they were only trying to IMPROVE the situation.

Time to CUT the legs off of those suggesting this silly A$$ BULL$HIT!

Not being able to verify signatures will end up being widespread. In New Hampshire we are under a federal court order not to verify signatures since the court believed that doing so would disenfranchise people whose signatures varied over time, or were poorly written.

The various Democrats who are advocating for mail in voting are the same people filing the lawsuits to prevent signature verification.

Trump’s people have to have something to stop this that we don’t know about yet.

I hope his people are on this already.
