Signature matching: a solution to a nearly nonexistent problem.
Thousands of Ohio voters were held up or stymied in their efforts to get absentee ballots for last year’s general election because of missing or mismatched signatures on their ballot applications, an Associated Press review has found.
The signature requirement on such applications is a largely overlooked and spottily tracked step in Ohio’s voting process, which has shifted increasingly to mail-in ballots since early, no-fault absentee voting was instituted in 2005.
Republicans have been suppressing the vote and disenfranchising voters for years in Ohio.
Now a word about Ohio’s Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown under the heading of “somebody’s full of crap.”
Yesterday Brown said that he would be supporting the USMCA because it was good for (US) labor. Brown said that there were new protections in the agreement that helped unions and the average American worker.
One of those protections was the establishment of 3-member panels which would monitor the labor practices and wage rates in all three countries.
But hold on, yesterday Mexico’s chief negotiator, Jesus Seade, flew to Washington for “urgent talks” concerning the USMCA.
Mexico claimed that it never agreed to any such panels nor to some of the other labor protections that Senator Brown said the agreement had in it.
Because Mexican labor unions are controlled by big business and political factions they are very corrupt, so it’s understandable that Mexico wants nothing to do with protections for unions written into the USMCA.
