Signatures change radically over the years.

I prefer a photo id requirement at the polls and a requirement to re-register every eight years showing proof of citizenship.

Absentee ballots only for the military overseas (handled by the military) and for those who visit the Dept of Elections 30-60 days in advance of an election, show their photo id and give reason for their anticipated absence, and submit their ballot there. Then marked as having voted already on the voter roll at the polls.

This means if you get suddenly sick or injured around election day you probably dont vote but that is fair it goes across party lines.

Mine’s looks different every time, now that we’ve switched to digital signatures.

Good point. Forging requires little effort—walk in, write the voter’s signature and go. Getting an ID and photo, now that takes effort. And why shouldn’t it? Voting is important and there should be effort in exercise …like exercising your right (and patriotic duty) to vote.
