also, when you request a mail in ballot, which I do every election... you have to give your name and address on the request sent to them, they in turn check to see if you are a registered voter, in the location you state before they mail you a ballot to the address, which is also the address they have on file for you... then you mail it back in and sign the outside envelope....
I was scared from all of the "exact Match" crap I was hearing on the news for Georgia and I did not know my own state law on it, so instead of mailing it in, I had my husband drop it off at the town office when he went to pay our property taxes and had him bring my driver's license to make certain they would accept it, even though I did not sign it with the way they had the ballot addressed to me, I signed it with my full name, first middle and last, and they had me as first, middle initial, and last.... I didn't mean to do it, include my full middle name, but I go by my middle name, and have since birth, have no idea why my parents gave me a first name that they never called me by.... ???
Anyway, if I were in Georgia, my absentee ballot would have been rejected... it would not have been an exact match... and that is just bull crud!!! Maine took it....
but getting back to rejecting ballots for not matching signatures...
seems wrong, unless they give voters the chance to prove they are who they are.... much like provisional ballot give the voter till Friday to get to them and show the proper id.
the same should be done with mail ins... they should let the voter know that their ballot was not accepted and give them the time to correct it....
The recount is not for Broward and Palm Beach only, the recount is for ALL COUNTIES, so if the judge made a decision to allow non matching siggies, then it would be for both Republican and Democratic leaning counties and not just Democratic leaning Broward.
And how in the world would someone trying to impersonate another voter even get your mail in ballot??? You have to request it, it is sent to your own house?
