So they claimed they did signature checks on the envelopes but actually didn’t.

I gather it was supposedly just visual signature verification?

It’s a subjective task performed by humans to determine whether a ballot can be processed, even though a range of factors, including health disorders and technology, could affect a person’s signature.

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...
