I'm particularly curious about this sentence:
> Signatures on mail ballots must be verified, and if they don’t match the signatures on file, county election officials are obliged to try to contact those voters to verify their signatures.
What does signature verification entail? Is it automated? I'm imagining there must be some sort of manual judgement at some point, but that seems dicey.
