- Taniel@TanielTanielRT @Garrett_Archer: The recorder changed the signature verification process by removing some identifiers for verifiers. Which is resulting in higher rejection rates This could make things interesting in tight races during the 7-Day curing period.BonnieHotInArizona😎 @arizona_bonnieYesterday I phoned 120 voters (Dems, Reps, & Indies) who need ballots cured due to "questionable signature". Did I get an earfull! Some hadn't been notified by @azjustinheap and some were LIVID having signed it correctly with never a problem in past. All I could do was commiserate.✌️0660292

- Taniel@TanielAlso true in Michigan—a possible dynamic in the Senate race.Alec Hernández @AlecAHernandezKey thing to remember about SC elections is the straight-ticket voting option: one click & voters can cast their entire ballot for the party ticket instead of going by race A result like this would likely take a lot of folks foregoing that, but Rs still acknowledge a close race01811412.2K
