A judge ruled Wednesday that Michigan’s Democrat Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson’s guidance telling election officials to presume the validity of absentee ballot signatures is unconstitutional.
During the 2020 election, Benson sent out guidance to election officials “that included a presumption of validity for voters’ signatures on absentee-ballot applications and absentee ballots processed at the local level,” the ruling from Court of Claims Judge Christopher Yates explains.
The Michigan Republican Party and the Allegan County clerk initially challenged the presumption of validity provision, and the Court of Claims “determined that the guidance was impermissible.” In response to the ruling, the Michigan Department of State created new guidance for signature matching that included a provision requiring officials to presume that the signature being reviewed is valid. Yates, in his ruling, noted that there was a “strong” negative response to this particular provision during a public comment period, and the state agreed on striking the language.

Well, considering the signature rejection rate was 20 times lower in 2020, there must have been a lot of "health disorders" among mail-in voters.
From the Navarro report:
Note that thirty - two states in the U.S. require election workers to match voter signature with a signature on record for the voter on their registration form. 101
In this case, Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada all relaxed signature match requirements, bringing into question hundreds of thousands potentially illegal ballots. Perhaps most egregiously, o n March 6 th of 2020, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger , with the approval of Governor Brian Kemp , signed off on a secret legal agreement with the Democratic Party of Georgia, the Democrat Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee to significantly alter ab sentee ballot procedures in Georgia.(102)
The Democrats’ attorney for this secret deal was alleged Russia Hoax operative Marc Elias from Perkins Coie.(103)
Originally, the signature - matching requirement in Georgia was such that the signature on the mail - in enve lope had to match both the voter’s signature stored in the State’s E - Net system, as well as the absentee ballot application. The new guidance loosened these requirements ; it only required that the signature on the absentee (mail - in) ballot envelope either must match the eNet signature, or the absentee ballot application, rather than both. (104)
Further, the State required that if the election worker found a signature to not match, it couldn’t be rejected unless a majority of the registrars, deputy registrars, or absentee ballot clerks reviewing the signature agreed. (105)
This wholesale gutting of the state’s signature-match requirement resulted in a drastic reduction in Georgia’s absentee ballot rejection r ate from 6.8% in 2016, to 0.34% during the 2020 Presidential Election. Effectively, almost none of Georgia’s 1.3 million absentee ballots were rejected.(106)
On top of this, Georgians were given the opportunity to “cure” or “fix” their ballot signature...
People can’t validate signatures.
The only signature validation is: When you ask the person who’s name is on the named section: “ did you sign this?” and you get a yes or no. No third party can verify someone else’s signature.

GRRRRRR.
The Constitution says that electors must be chosen according to the way the state legislatures prescribe - not some stinking smoky backroom deal between the gov, SOS, and democrats. NO WAY should those states’ electoral votes have counted as electoral votes since they never met the Constitutional requirement to be electoral votes.
Thank you for the information. I’m not growling at you. This stuff is just too frustrating for me to deal with very well.
They are BEGGING for a new July 4.
