"Your signature is your proof as long as it matches up with whatever form that was used to register to vote."
So, who (or what) determines if the signature "matches up"?
In my former state of residence, at the state level the (state) constitution mandates that the state elections office will be filled by appointment, which results in appointments from the current party of the current governor.
And, at the precinct level, the precinct judge (head of that precinct) AND a majority of the precinct judges had to be the same as the current party of the governor.
So, who (what) determines if the mail-in ballot is verifiable?
The current party in power.
As a county chairperson, on election day, I went from precinct to precinct, looking for irregularities. I personally witnessed the current Clerk Of Court delivering "voters" to exercise their constitutional right to vote. Of course, they were of the same party as the Clerk Of Court.
This is the same county where the brother of a county commissioner was sent to prison for "buying" votes.
