How Maricopa Elections is purging poor and elderly voters

8. I wonder if it has nothing to do with his signature and everything to do with him being 100?

In other words, someone at the Maricopa County BOE pulled this particular mail-in ballot because he's 100 and not because his signature doesn't match up. No question your signature at 100 years old is not going to match up perfectly with your signature from decades ago when you signed your original voter registration card.

Here in my neck of the woods at the poll sites, voters sign their names using a stylus on an electronic poll pad which results in some very wonky handwriting. However, as long as the main letters are a reasonable match, signature verification is approved and the voter gets the ballot to vote.

If this is a case of the BOE personnel using an 100-year-old man's signature as an excuse to mail out this "your ballot won't count unless you jump through these hoops to prove you're still alive," then it's age discrimination in addition to voter disenfranchisement.
