Big win for voting rights in PA

[SmCaudata]

Pennsylvania Supreme Court says ballots can’t be rejected based on signature comparisons

The court ruling backed up a policy issued by the state election office earlier this year.

The fact that is even a thing is sad, but the good news is that ballots won't be rejected based on some random volunteer fancying himself a handwriting expert. The dems need to clean up voting regulations big time as soon as they get a chance.

I wouldn't be shocked if the GOP takes this to the federal level.

Shocked? You can bet on it.

The idea that a signature has to perfectly match in order to vote when it doesn't have to perfectly match in order to pay taxes is asinine.

So that whole states rights thing is just a GOP lie?

It should make it easier for fraudulent vote harvesting schemes to sway the vote in Pennsylvania. No surprise.

You mean like the GOP fake ballot boxes all over CA to harvest votes?

Like that???

Something tells me you have NO FUCKING IDEA what "vote harvesting" is.

California Republican Party says it will not comply with state's cease and desist order on ballot drop boxes

The California Republican Party said Wednesday it will not comply with the state's cease-and-desist order over unofficial ballot drop boxes placed in at least four counties, escalating a brewing political showdown ahead of the November election.

What is ballot harvesting, where is it allowed and should you hand your ballot to a stranger?

With more voters expected to vote absentee than ever before because of the pandemic, there has been a renewed focus on the process of voting and how ballots reach their final destination.

Unless the polling districts have teams of accredited handwriting experts verifying each signature, I'm not sure how you could justify tossing ballots out.

Certainly it shouldn't be up to some layperson's judgement.

And even if you did have experts, I'd think you'd need more than one example of a person's signature to make a decision. Mine is never exactly the same, and the one on my license is pretty bad because it was taken from an electronic pad.

My wife's grandmother has been practicing her signature for 4 weeks. Her arthritis is so bad she can barely write. She's to at risk to vote in person and may have her vote thrown out due to some archaic laws... Disenfranchisement is a much bigger problem than fraud. I wouldn't expect some GOP sheep to actually believe that though since facts are irrelevant to you.

Shocked the gop is against it then.

Yeh, it's a giant conspiracy with thousands of evildoers all across the State! Trump said so, and it was foretold by Q! It must be true!

Trump Tampers With Postal Service After Months of Railing Against Vote-by-Mail

The president is trying to disrupt the U.S. Postal Service. Trump's tweets show he's been obsessing about vote-by-mail since April.

I said this in another thread but I never sign the same way twice thanks to my anxiety. On top of that I have horrible hand writing. If my bank can figure it out surely the government can.

This victory is almost too late. Last day to request a mail in is 10/27.

How many voters held off requesting a mail in due to fear of GOP efforts to trash their vote?

 

[cytg111]

I know of someone that signed all his stuff Z since he was 15. He is now pushing 50. His name is not Z.

The last half of your statement is superfluous.
Could have just stopped at "I don't think you have a clue..."

Im thinking a lot of younger or first time voters may not know these details. Some people that were too scared to vote in person did mail in, even with risks. All 3 of those groups are probably dem leaning.

"Big win for voting rights in PA"

I had hoped the "big win" was the decision to remove Donald Trump from the ballot altogether. Now THAT would indeed be a big win for voting rights, and a big win for civil rights, and a big win for gay rights, and a big win for women's rights, and even a big win for animals rights.

I'm surprised you aren't complaining about Democrats disenfranchising the votes of whitey.

Oh that's right, it ain't happening. The only people trying to stop eligible minorities from voting are Republicans.

You need to include a big win for fascists and other Authoritarians who don't believe that the American public should be able to choose and vote for their own leaders.

Ohhh did you miss the post right above yours? Sorry i don't consider having to provide identification is stopping people from voting. I also don't think that having reasonable regulations in place to prevent voter fraud and illegal ballot harvesting disenfranchise any voters. I do think that you actively support vote fraud and anything else that would keep Donald Trump from winning another term, whether it's legal or illegal.
