Nevada Republicans are sloppy.

This is semi-interesting.

In Nevada, 1.4% of mail ballots so far required a signature cure, when the voter didn't sign the ballot or the sig didn't match the one on file.

Dems have cured 51% of their rejected ballots so far, vs. 35% for Republicans.

5. Glad it's better or for us, but I don't like that they throw out ballots for this.

Assuming our pool of ballots isn’t larger.

Even Republicans should be able to do that.

7. I have to wonder about the qualifications of people looking at signatures

I really really doubt that many (or any) of them are trained in signature analysis, plus it's a known fact that people's signatures change over time (mine certainly has). Plus, I strongly suspect that in many places a "Letitia" gets closer scrutiny than a "Mary".
