Election stats indicate most rejected votes actually come from real voters, as states that allow ballot-curing, or the fixing of deficient ballots, are able to remedy a majority of mail ballots initially rejected. In addition to signature matching, other rejection reasons include signing an envelope in the wrong place, failing to include the “secrecy” envelope around one’s ballot, or a married couple swapping the barcoded envelopes they mail their ballots back in. But just as America’s policies on signature verification vary greatly from one jurisdiction to another, an individual’s signature can vary greatly over the years – or even day-to-day – and may not look like the signature an elections office has on-file.
