Gen Z doesn't know how to sign their names - and it impacted the election
daily mail ^

Many Gen Zers do not know how to sign their names - and it's completely messing up the election.

Thousands of people across the globe are anxiously waiting to find out who will be the next US President - Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.

But Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar has revealed that the results may take longer to come in because the state is facing an uptick in rejected mail-in ballots due to problems with voters' signatures.

According to the New York Times, autographs on the envelopes of mail-in ballots must match the person's signature in the voter registration database.

And Francisco told the publication that because many 'young people' don't focus on creating signatures 'these days,' their votes aren't being counted.

As of Monday evening, he revealed that more than 18,500 ballots had been rejected in Clark County alone - the most populated county in the battleground state, which is where Las Vegas sits.

'It's mostly the fact that young people don't have signatures these days,' Francisco explained.

'And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at the DMV, and that became their license signature.'

Many schools across the US have stopped teaching students cursive handwriting amid the rise of technology.

In 2010, the practice was removed from the national Common Core standards for K-12 education, and now, only 24 out of 50 states require it to be taught

I thought they could just sign with a big X and get 2 witnesses like the undereducated illiterates in the past did ?

Nonsense.

My signature was really off because my hand is hurt. Did not resemble remotely the one on my license and it was not a problem.

No, it’s just undercover DNC staffers have problems forging dead people’s votes.

The Dims are saying that their loyal Gen Z voters are too stupid to sign their names, just like the Dims say that blacks are too stupid to know how to get a voter ID.

Lots of blacks are giving the Dims the cold shoulder now. Will Gen Z do the same?

Translated: Dems failed to hire the same people who made the fraudulent registrations!

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

No, the ‘impact’ is that people are tired of going broke trying to buy gas and groceries, being told they’re garbage fascists and having their kids mutilated.

However the left is never wrong in their own eyes so it’s that kids can’t sign their names, or blacks can’t get ID, not to mention women didn’t understand. Always some variation on “the proles are too stupid” and never “we are doing things people don’t want.”

“...they signed a digital pad...”

All of my signatures on digital pads are plausibly deniable.

You would have to teach them how to even Spell their Names before trying to teach them how to sign their name. sounds like a few Billion Dollars for extra training...

“And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at the DMV, and that became their license signature.’”

Those dam things need to be made illegal for signature purposes . All I can do is produce scribble on them. I need to be able to rest my wrist when I write. And I need the friction of a pen or pencil. Why would we be using a device that does not produce a proper signature for signature verification purposes. Especially for voting. The world has gone insane.

I told my Marine son to sign his twice. One printed on top of the first one he did which was some gobblygoo where he tried to do an actual signature. Not that it mattered in my state, but it was accepted and helped the popular vote.

So they knew how to sign when they registered, but forgot how when they had to sign their ballot?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

If you want literate kids, it's not happening if they go to public school.

The Dem plan in Nevada was to “chase” the outstanding mail-in ballots, now that we’ve been told by the Nevada Supreme Court that ballots, even without postmarks, have to be accepted and counted until Friday. They don’t have enough to cheat in the presidential race this time, but looks like they’re going to be able to steal the win from Sam Brown with this tactic.

There was an unprecedented GOP ground game, which is great, but that effort basically ended yesterday. The Democrat ballot harvesting operation is still in full swing, with the added push of desperation.
