    Correct, the signature is on the outside of the ballot envelope so the actual vote isn’t accessible until the signature is verified.

      Not trying to take a stab at ya, but is it verified or is it just a check that it exists on the envelope?

        When you vote, in person or by mail, your signature is compared with the registration signature on file.

          Which is a joke anyway. Signature verification is something that should be abandoned. People don’t care about their signature anymore. Plus, do the people doing the verification get any sort of training at all? Has there ever even been a study to show how accurate such comparisons are?

            fully agree, my signature is different every time I sign, my penmanship sucks so I never have it the same, I’ve never been questioned on it, likely due to the fact I don’t have a natural signature
