On Thursday, Speckin testified based upon his examination of data provided from the county about how quickly it appeared that signature reviewers made determinations regarding whether signatures were consistent.After reviewing the Arizona State statute information and signature verification guidance (my replies 59, 60, and 61), the plaintiff’s expert witness, Erich Speckin, seems to be correct.Regarding the speed at which signatures appeared to be reviewed, Speckin said, “There were about 70,000 instances … that were lightning quick.”
He added that there were seven users, or signature reviewers, who "had over 1,000 instances" of reviewing signatures in less than two seconds that “had 100%” approval rates, meaning that the signatures matched.
When asked by Olsen whether comparing signatures in less than three seconds is physically possible, Speckin replied, "I don't believe it can be done."
thank you !
