Lower Integrity of Signature Matching in Nevada Should Be Concern for Court – The Integrity of Our Elections at Stake

The hallmark of any democracy is to establish the rule of law and protect its independence at all costs. To maintain that independence, government must ensure that its power is not abused or weaponized by its members.

There is no greater criteria for a healthy democracy than to allow its citizens to legally challenge its decisions in an independent court proceeding. This is why it is so disturbing to hear U.S. media personalities and academic scholars demand an end to legal challenges filed to ensure election integrity. The Left and their media allies should be celebrating the effort to ensure that the states are following the established procedures for the rule of law. Our democracy is strengthened when people are allowed to sue or challenge their government when they feel they have been wronged. This is what the Constitution intended.

In Nevada, where the vote margins are close, the largest county—Clark—is reliant on a ballot sorting system with an inadequate signature verification process. A recent test revealed how 89 percent of the flawed signature matches made it past the election security measures.

The ballot signature verification process, beyond just Clark County, has long been flawed. The top reason why mail-in ballots were rejected in 2016 was because of mismatched signatures, a dilemma that continues to this day. Everyone agrees, however, that a strong signature verification system is a critical step for election officials to ensure election integrity. So why hasn’t Nevada fixed its lingering problem?

The machine used in Clark County to verify signatures is called Agilis. And earlier this year, Clark County officials announced that they would need to lower the recommended factory tolerance settings on the Agilis machine in order to capture the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles’ signature used to verify mail-in ballots. To match a ballot signature, the Agilis machine requires a clear signature on file with election officials that is scanned at a minimum resolution of 200 d.p.i. Nevertheless, the bulk of Clark County’s signature files come from the Nevada DMV, which doesn’t even have the capability of scanning signatures at that resolution. Knowing this, Clark County election officials still lowered the signature match threshold in order to capture blurry signatures and speed through the counting process. However, Artificial Intelligence experts and signature verification experts agree that changing the factory settings in this way will largely render the system useless.

I don’t know why Clark County residents would go for Biden knowing his penchant for shutting down the economy when Clark Countians are so reliant on tourism.

I worked as a poll worker checking people in. I had to verify signatures before I gave the person their ballot. It was up to me to compare signatures and make the decision.

So our election process is only as good as the level of honesty of the individuals involved.

Our nation removed God from just about everything.....and we are shocked at cheating and dishonesty?

If not listed on the precinct list of registered voters It’s not just the signature what’s also required is verification of name, address (location must be in that precinct), and citizenship.

I have lived in Nevada for 23 years. Crooked elections in Clark county have been a problem for decades. Once again, the REPs had control of both houses in the Legislature and the Governors Mansion for many of those 23 years and did nothing to resolve the basic issue(s).

At my polling place in NYS, we were made to sign electronically with a popsicle stick.

My signature was a mess.

So much for signature verification.

For more than ten years, Las Vegas was the fastest growing city in the US. At one time they were building dozens of schools a year and housing was booming.

I’ve been here 40 years and have seen NV go from a libertarian/conservative state to the blue state it is now. Democrats target red states and slowly move them into the blue column through encroachment. Once they get control, they do everything they can to insure that control becomes total and impossible to throw off. The Democrats will lie, cheat and steal to keep power.

If you live in a red state I urge you to strongly fight your governor’s efforts to entice businesses to relocate there. I heard Wall Street may be moving to Texas. If that happens, we can kiss the Lone Star state goodbye.

With this virus and lockdowns, Las Vegas is likely to see a mass exodus of people back to whence they came. There are no jobs here anymore and that’s not going to change anytime soon as it will take years to recover from the massive economic hit it’s taken.

There may be hope in that exodus for the Nevadans of old to regroup and regain control. I’m not going to be leaving in the immediate future but have certainly thought about it recently. I would rather stand and fight for this state because I love it here.

Huh? How can they not scan at that resolution? My printer is 12-14 years old, and it scans at 600x1200 dpi!

funny thing is that the exodus is motivated by voter fraud. hold the line. The invasion isn’t real.
