It is critical that the validity of absentee and early voting be protected from over-regulation of things like signatures. As an artist and the mother of a college-aged creative person, I have seen first-hand how signatures evolve. What are the credentials of those who would block a citizen's right because of a what they call "sloppy"? How dare they attempt to deny such a basic and essential US citizen's right! The suggestion is worse than outrageous.
