cure ballots in NV

If you're looking for something productive to do, apparently the Senate race in NV is too close to call, and you can assist by phone banking and canvass for people to fix their ballots.

Interesting aside - Gen Z voters never learned cursive, and struggle with signing their names, which is affecting their ballots and causing them to get rejected.

Even more interesting aside: There is no law in any state that requires you to make your mark by signing your name in cursive, you simply have to use the same distinctive mark every time. Which could be an X.

Anybody whose ballot is rejected on these inane grounds has cause to sue.

Awful fricking timing to lose my voice, but they have a text-banking option! Signed up for three sessions.

Hm. That ties in with a post I saw on Tuesday, about how people curing ballots were having trouble getting gen-z voters to pick up their phones, because they didn’t recognize the number and in any case usually prefer text. The post advised anybody who’d voted to keep their ringer on all day and answer no matter what, to make sure their vote didn’t end up being rejected.

Now these two things together are just anecdata, and I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but it does strike me as possible as something that could have discounted a lot of votes from one specific age demographic.
