While I often am in support of protect the vote type legislation... the signature thing is tuff for me personally because honestly my signature can vary dramatically.

Of course I would never vote by mail, so it doesn’t really matter in the end.

I have a family member who is a former federal agent. The problem, according to her, is that even an FBI “expert” will never state to a court that a signature does or does not belong to a particular person. They will him and haw around the subject with words like “probably.”

The idea that somebody chosen by the elections board can make a comparison and say definitively that a signature does or does not belong to somebody who signed the original card twenty years ago is ridiculous.

I have no choice, there are no polls to go to in Oregon. I too have a problem with my signature, it changes. About every 4 years I go into the registar’s office and update my signature.

With the hissy fit the deep state throws over voter ID laws, signature match is about the only security left. In our precinct, we ask our workers to get the voter to sign a new affidavit if we notice the signature has changed dramatically from what is on file in the registration log to how they sign in.

Our county is actually pretty good about keeping these things updated since workers in our precinct and others in the county actually care about doing their jobs right.

It can vary...but you also have ID with you if they reject it.

I have two signatures. The one I use to sign official personal documents, checks etc is rather elaborate and I hope, harder to fake. The one I use at work to sign checks and documents related to work is simpler to save the strain on my thumbs.
