Voters who registered at MVC agencies are at risk of having their ballots rejected

7. This is inexcusable. And that's the politest language that comes close to how I feel about this.

If officials know that the person's MVC signature won't match their handwritten signature, there should be no need for a cure.

(I think even in normal circumstances, signature matching should not be a requirement, but this is ridiculous, even though I don't believe this is deliberate disenfranchisement, just rigid rule-following.)

Edit: On second thought, although I had assumed it wasn't deliberate disenfranchisement because New Jersey is blue, now I'm not so sure, based on this: Despite having thousands of more Democratic than Republican voters in Atlantic County, we have a Republican County Executive, Republican Surrogate, a majority on the Freeholder Board and Republican majorities in two-thirds of our townships, cities and boroughs. In last year’s election alone, 84% of the Republicans running in all races in Atlantic County were elected.
