1/ I don't know whether to laugh or cry...
No wonder some GA lawmakers demand a signature audit of mail ballots! Jaw-dropping ignorance displayed in their SCOTUS amicus brief tonight.
These people ⬇️ think that the ballots have signatures on them. 🤦♀️ Read this crazy thread.⬇️

2/ They complain about potential fraud because signature checks MAY not have been as robust as they think statutes require.
The tell SCOTUS that mail ballots and the envelopes are required to have the voter's signature on them!
They never heard of secret ballot?

3/ They even cited a code section claiming it required signatures on ballots. They fibbed. Here is the law.
It does NOT say that signatures are to be on ballots.
In fact it is illegal to sign your ballot---see 4/

4/ In GA (as in most states) the secret ballot is well protected in the law (although not well enforced).
So if you sign your ballot, your ballot is void and your votes are not counted. ⬇️
But some GOP legislative leaders are telling SCOTUS that GA voters must sign ballots! 🤦♀️

5/ They are literally telling SCOTUS the opposite of the law and facts.
But they keep demanding a signature check--thinking that they can see signatures on ballots and challenge signatures on Biden votes.
Their after-the-fact demands never made sense to me before.

6/ It is because they have no idea what they are talking about.
They don't know difference between ballot and envelope?
But why would these GOP leaders think it is okay to have names/signatures on the face of ballots?? Much less to file a SCOTUS brief saying so!
