Well, my vote may well not wont be counted, and here is why...States MATCH SIGNATURES [View all]

I am in a state that does signature matching.

I have terrible handwriting, I can NEVER sign my name the same twice unless I am purposely signing by almost printing my name which I almost never do.

A handwriting expert could immediately tell it was mine no matter how different it looks because that is what they do, but poll workers wont be able to tell that easily.

I wonder how many times my vote hasnt counted now?

BEWARE about this...

while looking for a list of which states do this, I came upon THIS NIGHTMARE

Look at how HARD it is to vote in RED STATES or some of them...

POINT of this thread is BEWARE to make sure your signature is the same as when you registered!
