To the editor: Practically 200,000 ballots had been flagged for signature issues in California. Regardless that many of those had been verified, greater than 83,000 votes weren’t in a position to be counted.
If this isn’t a sign that we have to educate cursive handwriting in class, I don’t know what’s.
And that is solely California. What about the remainder of the nation?

To the editor: I’m 80 years previous. My signature has by no means been constant.
It began as given identify, center preliminary, final identify. After I obtained my driver’s license, I dropped the preliminary. This lasted by way of voter registration, I believe.
By the point I used to be writing prescriptions, it was “P Mauer” besides on authorized paperwork reminiscent of my will. In any other case, it has deteriorated to a barely legible scrawl.
I actually don’t know which one I used to register to vote.
Patrick A. Mauer, Pasadena
