A longtime California conservative who’s been faithfully voting in the Golden State for two full decades just got the bureaucratic middle finger from Sacramento’s mail-in ballot machine: his ballot was quietly rejected over a supposed 'signature mismatch' that somehow never existed before.
Today I received a letter, just like my neighbor did, informing me that my California ballot was not counted because my "signature verification" supposedly didn't match the state's records. I've been voting in California for 20 years. pic.twitter.com/ZGHuRykgLU

What gives?
The rejection notice arrived days after conservative candidates had already started conceding races, and he’s hardly the only one—conservatives across the state are flooding timelines with identical stories of suddenly invalid signatures on ballots they dropped weeks ago.
I just checked online, setup text voting notification alerts and confirmed that my letter is accurate and my ballot was rejected because my signature does not match their records. I've owned 5 homes in CA in 25 years, DMV and every CA agency has my signature. pic.twitter.com/JoKk4KWzeO

Hrm.
In a system that cheerfully accepts no-ID mail-ins, ballot harvesting, and ballots from who-knows-where, it turns out the one thing they’re suddenly hyper-vigilant about is making sure the 'wrong' votes don’t get counted.
Pardon us while we adjust our tinfoil hat.
Here's another:
REPOST THIS PLEASE!!! California did not tell me they rejected my ballot. They also rejected my wife's ballot I have discovered. They claim it is a bad signature on both.

Good gravy.
ELECTION INTEGRITY: California voters can mark their ballot with an x & a witness signature that's never checked. Democrats promote the loophole. The state won't release how many ballots use it. California 'signature verification' is a fraud by design. https://t.co/ZSq32vkrfT pic.twitter.com/HJEDXpJWTp

But you know, everything it totally on the up and up in California.
