I am really glad that you posted. A person that has been on the front lines and saw the tricks that are used to invalidate mailin ballots. It wouldn't surprise me if the signature match software us used almost exclusively in heavily democratic precincts.

How many people's signature would pass an exact match? I know that my signature changes based upon the angle of the pen, whether I am in a hurry, the distance that I have to bend over, ect.

At in person early voting, even if my signature is questioned, I have several pieces of ID on the spot to confirm who I am - I can't do that with a mailin ballot.

So, I will do mailin ballots when I am ok with either candidate, as was the case in the local special election (two Dems), but for important elections, it is in person early voting for me.
