Does that happen a lot in WA and CO? I haven't seen much of those kinds of stories in states where everyone can vote by mail.

How would anyone know? Bad signatures don’t disqualify a ballot in PA, same goes for no signature, unless they changed the law.

The signature they have on record for me is from when I was 18. It’s hardly foolproof since I don’t even remember how I signed back then.

Exactly, the mail in ballot system has major flaws. Feel free to fill out your grandparents ballots, nobody will ever know.

You misunderstood me. I’m arguing against signature matching to disqualify ballots. I’m extremely in favor of mail-in, and think it should be universal as it is our west.

You need your ID and information to sign up and get one anyway.

I was agreeing with “it’s hardly foolproof”.

That’s fair.

All of the talks of election fraud always seemed a bit odd to me. My local polling place for 2010 to 2020 has a couple older ladies who basically just ask your name and check a box… there’s never been an ID check or anything, so I never got why fraud would suddenly be an issue in 2020.
