.@VotebeatUS reported on documents we obtained that prove what many have long suspected: “Texas has no training whatsoever for the people responsible for verifying signatures on ballots.”

In a November 2019 PowerPoint presentation, Texas wrote that members of the Signature Verification Committee — who help decide if signatures on absentee ballot envelopes match another signature on file — “are not handwriting experts.”

While a lot of states don’t have signature training, those states usually have a “cure” process to let voters verify their votes. But this isn’t the case in Texas.

As @VoteBeatUS summarized, “So: Not only are the people who issue these rejections decidedly ‘not handwriting experts,’ there is no opportunity to reverse mistakes they make.”
