Judge: No rejecting mail ballots due to signature mismatch

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge says Georgia election officials must stop rejecting absentee ballots and absentee ballot applications because of a mismatched signature without first giving voters a chance to fix the problem.
U.S. District Judge Leigh May on Wednesday ordered the secretary of state’s office to instruct county election officials to stop the practice for the November midterm elections. She outlined a procedure to allow voters to resolve alleged signature discrepancies.
