All states already have a requirement of signature matching for their mail in and absentee ballots. Overseen by elections officials from both parties in each state who have been doing the job for a long time. The fault for lack of trust in US elections falls exclusively at the doorsteps of urchins like Bannon and this douchebag crusty.
No it varies by state. People should find out what their state laws say.
