25. I don't verify signatures of mail-in or affidavit ballots after an election, but I do check-in

voters at the polls and there is only one other signature in the poll pad for the voter that is used for comparison. It happens a lot that signatures are not a good match because voters, especially older ones, are not used to writing with a stylus on a poll pad. Plus they're standing at a table and bending over and the poll pad (which is on a swivel stand) may not be tilted or facing in the most comfortable position for them. If the signature is really off the mark, they get a do-over.

If I were to send in an affidavit or mail-in ballot, I'd make a copy for my records. If my ballot was ever questioned, then I'd have proof of how I filled it out and the way I signed it.
