This measure will last far longer than the pandemic.
We can be arguing two different things:
1) Signatures are not a good proof of identity
2) We should require government ID for proof of identity
> Why the sudden concern now?
It's not. This has been a debate for at least a decade if not more.
- untog 7y agoYou still haven’t answered how government IDs would be checked as part of mail in voting. If they can’t be then you’re forcing people to risk their health in order to vote in person. > This has been a debate for at least a decade if not more And in that time there has been zero evidence of voter fraud at any kind of scale that would effect the outcome of an election.

If there's no level of voter fraud to be concerned with, why throw out tens of thousands of ballots because the signature didn't match? Was that all voter fraud, or just an incompetent system?
