PBS reports on a signature verification issue that’s long been a matter of interest for younger voters, but particularly for Zoomers whose primary interactions are online or on touchscreens, rather than paper:
Elections officials in Pierce County are contacting all voters ages 18 to 26 and asking them to update their signatures in an effort to head off challenges and make sure their votes are counted.
Washington uses signature verification to make sure voters are who they say they are. But that sometimes poses a problem for young people, who are less likely to regularly sign their names, and often evolve their signatures as they age into adulthood.
