Peart (Rich County Clerk) spoke to the Empty Nesters last evening and told the
group that people need to sign their own ballot. Sometimes people sign for
others and the signature doesn’t align with the bar code which is attached to your
voter registration signature. The clerks
then try to contact the voter to clarify the signature. Sometimes the clerks
will pull up a driver’s license to verify the signature. Other times if a
person is not feeling well the partner will sign the spouses name for them, but
when the bar code is read it will reject the ballot because the signature is
tied to the bar code. Every ballot is double tracked so that not just one
person makes the decision. The ballot is fed through a machine and the
signatures have to match.
On a side note.....I hope that Rich County will vote at 80% this election year! We are so blessed to have the opportunity to choose candidates to lead this great nation. (Bess)
