voter suppression

[jp1]

That's what they do in my county. As I mentioned elsewhere, I had my vote bounced by the County Elections Folks in an earlier election this year, as my signature didn't match. I had an arm injury that changed my signature enough that it didn't look similar enough.

Elections Folks contacted me to sort it out, so that my ballot was properly handled.

Easy Peasey.

Good thing you live in WA and not GA. Otherwise Lindsay Graham might be trying to have the secretary of state throw your ballot out.

How do they know it's you and not some random person walking in and saying "Hi, I'm Rosa! I live at 123 Main St."

They don't. I do have to provide the address first, and then give one of the names they have listed at that address, and if I was a fraud, I would need to be choosing someone who hadn't already come in to vote.
I guess when/if the second person showed up claiming to be Rosa, they would know there was a problem.
