to vote by just showing documentation of citizenry at the polls. GA claimed a process was in place, but the judge ruled that the process wasn't working because they were being denied the ability to vote.

you follow any of the Antiques Roadshow or Gallery 63 shows and the like, you'll know that signatures do change and that they have to bring in an expert to review and see if signature is valid. And the state is doing this for every single Georgia voter? Insane and crazy!!!!

and arthritis sets in ... not to mention actual diseases in slight or advanced form such as depuytens or carpal tunnel.

does your handwriting resemble either of your parents? As I age mine is getting more like my dad. My mom's was just about indistinguishable from her mom's. It's like it's genetic.

If you see two that look the same, at least one of them is a forgery.

autograph that they were evaluating, there were at least 12 different signatures that the expert brought in w/ him, and all of them looked different! According to the state of Georgia, forgeries!

ts a lot on the poll workers though. Just put a sign of the fines and prison terms for illegally voting at the site 'cause very few, if any would take that chance for one vote.

So sorry about your diagnosis

Sounds like you know your rights, however.

Just a couple of links to check out possibly (altho. you're probably aware of these already) --

They are citizens already. There is no question that they are citizens. But their names have been misspelled. Especially common with unique names like D'Jaris, and other names with an added apostrophe.

In fact, I'm not sure if there is a specific disenfranchised group that is helped by this. Maybe new immigrants. But not black people.
