(CNN)A Nevada judge rejected a GOP lawsuit seeking to halt early vote counting in Clark County, which includes Las Vegas, over stringency of signature-matching computer software and how closely observers can watch votes being counted.

3. My only argument back...

“Republicans wanted Wilson to put a halt to the use of the signature reading machine.”

I have never liked signature matching, human or machine. Everyone’s signature changes as they age, their mood changes, they get hurt, the pen/paper/platform, etc., etc. The best example was Nixon’s change from legible to a scrawl over 6 years.

It’s unreliable. Find something else.
