(Worthy News) – Counties in Pennsylvania were directed not to discard mail-in ballots where signatures don’t match ones in a voter’s file.

“As a result of this case, Pennsylvania voters can cast their vote without fear that their ballot could be rejected solely because an election official — who isn’t trained in handwriting analysis — thinks their signatures don’t match. Voting should not be a penmanship test,“ said Mark Gaber, director of trial litigation at the Campaign Legal Center, in a statement.

Pennsylvania’s Department of State issued the directive on Monday, prompting organizations such as the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania and the Urban League of Greater Pittsburgh, which were represented by the CLC, to drop a federal lawsuit on the state’s lack of guidance on the issue.
