Voted! (Non-political)

“In California, voters must sign their absentee ballot. Signatures are checked.”

Signatures can be forged. Besides, I don’t believe election officials are qualified to determine if a signature is forged and to disqualify one’s ballot based on their assumption. Handwriting experts they are not. Why would you trust an election official to decide if that’s your signature?

Also, voters have to sign in when they go to vote in person. If only a signature is required to cast an absentee ballot it should be all that is required for one to vote in person.

Maybe they should make ones absentee ballots be signed and certified by a notary.

It should be equally as difficult to vote absentee as it is to vote in person if the reason for all these ID laws are to prevent voter fraud.

Or a better idea is to do away with all voter ID laws.
