how do you verify voter signatures we get this question a lot we use three processes to verify a voter's signature automatic signature recognition by specially trained election judges and if necessary by bipartisan review first meet the agilis this impressive machine sorts ballots for processing and scans voter signatures on every envelope then it compares the signature to the most recent signature in that voter's file to make sure they match do you really trust the machine to verify my signature the answer is yes we do we set a high threshold for the software to match signature data points but we also do regular audits of the signatures it accepts every day during an election what happens if the machine can't verify my signature if the data points don't line up well enough for the machine to verify then we move on to tier one in tier one election judges train to follow secretary of state guidelines review signatures comparing them to the most recent signature in the voters file if the judge is not certain beyond a doubt that the signatures match the envelope then moves to tier two what is tier two tier two is our final step to verify a ballot envelope signature a bipartisan team of election judges look at every signature a voter has on file from previous elections voter registration forms change of address forms and driver's license applications and compares them to the signature on the ballot envelope this allows the judges to see if the voter's signature has changed over time or if they sometimes sign their full name or use their nickname and other elections like john or jonathan if the judges agree that the signature is valid we accept the envelope and process the ballot state law specifies that only one judge needs to agree the signature matches to accept the envelope so to recap the first step to verify signatures is done by the agilis in automatic signature recognition if the machine can't verify the signature then the envelope is reviewed by a specially trained election judge in tier one if that judge isn't confident that signature is a match a bipartisan team of judges compare the signature to all the signatures in the voters file in tier two so what happens if we still can't verify a voter's signature or they just forgot to sign the envelope stay tuned to our next video on ballot curing to learn about other checks and balances that make our election secure go to arapahovotes.gov [Music]
