The rise in mail voting comes with a price, as mismatched signatures lead to ballot rejections
Hindustan TimesHONOLULU — As with many voters on Maui, Joshua Kamalo thought the race for president wasn't the only big contest on the November ballot. The rise in mail voting comes with a price, as mismatched signatures lead to ballot rejections He made sure to return his ballot in the virtually all vote-by-mail state early, doing so two weeks before Election Day. “We’ve had signature curing problems since we adopted universal mail-in voting during the pandemic in 2020, and it seems to be getting worse,” said Sondra Cosgrove, history professor at the College of Southern Nevada in Las Vegas and executive director of Vote Nevada, a civic organization. “We have to find the best option going forward for people that is more accessible, that gets their votes and ballots counted on time, because it’s crazy when you think about the difference-maker being eight or nine votes,” said Christian Solomon, the state director of Rise Nevada, a youth-led civic engagement group. That state ended its signature check process and instead now requires voters to submit their driver's license number or state identification card number when returning a mailed ballot, said Mike Hassinger, spokesman for the Georgia Secretary of State’s office.
