\"\"(Chuck Muth)<\/em>\u00a0\u2013 In a comprehensive\u00a0story<\/a>\u00a0in Thursday\u2019s Las Vegas Review-Journal, Art Kane reports on \u201can allegation that a ballot in Rosemarie Hartle\u2019s name and with her signature was voted\u201d in Nevada\u2019s 2020 general election.<\/p>\n

One problem: Mrs. Hartle has been dead since 2017.<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s an even bigger problem as reported by Mr. Kane\u2026<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u201cClark County elections officials said they verified that Rosemarie Hartle\u2019s signature matched on the ballot.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

HELLO?!!<\/p>\n

If the election department \u201cverified\u201d the signature on the outside of a ballot envelope matched the signature of a woman who has been deceased for three years, what does that say about the signature verification process being used to process over 400,000 mail-in ballots?<\/p>\n

And there are certainly a\u00a0LOT<\/u>\u00a0of reasons to further examine that verification process.<\/p>\n

To start with, unlike the rest of Nevada\u2019s counties, Clark County is using an optical verification machine that scans the signature on the outside of ballot envelopes and compares it to the signature on file with election department.<\/p>\n

But as we\u2019ve learned, the Election Department lowered the threshold to approve a signature match to 40 percent.\u00a0 In addition, I\u2019ve heard allegations that setting the criteria to 40% was below the manufacturer\u2019s recommendation, but haven\u2019t yet seen any verification of that claim.<\/p>\n

If the verification machine\/software \u201cred flags\u201d an envelope signature as possibly not matching the voter\u2019s signature on file, then two election officials \u2013 \u201cadjudicators\u201d – must manually inspect the signatures, which is nothing more than a subjective opinion even if they are fully trained handwriting analysts.<\/p>\n

If they both agree it\u2019s a match, the ballot is counted.<\/p>\n

But again, either the machine and\/or two human beings looked at the deceased Mrs. Hartle\u2019s signature and decided it was a match.\u00a0 That\u2019s a big red flag that something stinks in Denmark.<\/p>\n

And then there\u2019s this\u2026<\/p>\n

Las Vegas Review-Journal<\/em>\u00a0columnist Victor Joeck\u2019s reported this morning that he had nine voters legally sign their mail-in ballot, but not in their\u00a0OWN<\/u>\u00a0handwriting.\u00a0 Instead, they imitated their signatures to generally look like Victor\u2019s handwriting.\u00a0 And guess what?<\/p>\n

\u201cEight of the nine ballots went through,\u201d Victor reported.\u00a0 \u201cIn other words, signature verification had an 89 percent failure rate in catching mismatched signatures.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unclear how much voter fraud took place in Nevada,\u201d Victor concluded. \u00a0\u201cBut it\u2019s clear signature verification isn\u2019t the fail-safe security check elections officials made it out to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hoo-boy.<\/p>\n

And while I don\u2019t have first-hand knowledge of these incidences, I do know what happened to me on Election Day.<\/p>\n

I showed up to vote in person.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t trust giving my unsolicited mail-in ballot to the poll workers, so they had me sign a release on a tablet using a sponge-tipped pen.\u00a0 After signing it I told the poll worker that it didn\u2019t look anything at all like my real signature.<\/p>\n

The poll worker then compared my sponge-tipped signature on the tablet to the signature on file he pulled up on his computer, told me it was \u201cclose enough\u201d – and gave me my ballot card!<\/p>\n

I would bet the farm that this person was not a professional handwriting analyst.\u00a0 And the fact that he deemed my mismatched signatures as \u201cclose enough\u201d doesn\u2019t exactly give me a bunch of warm-and-fuzzies about the entire signature verification system.<\/p>\n

But, hey, don\u2019t take any of our words for it. Seeing is believing, right?\u00a0 And here\u2019s an example demonstrating what I\u2019m talking about.<\/p>\n

The first photograph below is of Bruce Becker\u2019s signature that\u2019s on file with the Election Department.\u00a0 The second photo is his signature on the outside of his ballot envelope.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, you tell me those signatures match!<\/p>\n

Seriously, I don\u2019t know how an optical scan machine, let alone two supposedly\u00a0TRAINED<\/u>\u00a0handwriting adjudicators could possibly have come to the conclusion that these two signatures were \u201cclose enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

And yes, Mr. Becker\u2019s mail-in ballot has been reported as received and tallied.<\/p>\n

Obviously, this isn\u2019t evidence of an illegally cast ballot.\u00a0 But it\u00a0IS<\/u>\u00a0evidence that the vote counting system in place for the 2020 general election in Clark County was\u00a0DEEPLY<\/u>\u00a0flawed and wide open to ballot fraud.<\/p>\n

Now\u2026<\/p>\n

Had\u00a0INDEPENDENT<\/u>\u00a0observers been allowed to, well,\u00a0OBSERVE<\/u>\u00a0the two adjudicators coming their conclusions when reviewing a possible signature mismatch, that would have been a vital security precaution that would have protected the integrity of the election.<\/p>\n

But they weren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

At least not throughout the entire verification process and ballot counting.\u00a0 And not from a distance close enough to actually see exactly what the adjudicators were seeing.\u00a0 Why not?\u00a0 After all, if there\u2019s nothing to hide\u2026why hide it?<\/p>\n

For those who continue to claim that those calling into question how this entire election was handled are nothing but \u201cconspiracy nuts,\u201d they should have no problem with the Clark County Election Department conducting a new visual – not machine – audit of all 400,000+ mail-in ballots to confirm signature matching.<\/p>\n

WITH INDEPENDENT OBSERVERS LOOKING RIGHT OVER THEIR SHOULDERS.<\/p>\n

And if the Election Department won\u2019t do this on its own, a judge should order it.<\/p>\n

So let it be written; so let it be done.<\/p>\n

Clark County is ground zero of a massive election fuster-cluck.\u00a0 So you\u2019d think the Chairman of the Clark County Republican Party would be right in the thick of things, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n

Well, he\u2019s not.\u00a0 He\u2019s actually been in Atlanta this week doing who knows what for his business.<\/p>\n
