See why this mail in-ballot was rejected. CNN went behind the scenes at Detroit election offices



After the 2020 election, chaos erupted at a Detroit counting center as Joe Biden overtook Donald Trump. This year, election officials give CNN exclusive access to see how they’re trying to avoid the mayhem and get faster results. CNN’s Marshall Cohen talks to officials about expedited signature verification for mail ballots, new million-dollar machinery, and regrets over how protests in 2020 were handled. #CNN #News

  1. We the military hate mail in ballots because too many times our votes are manipulated by corrupt politicians. People caught with fake ballots, changing our ballots for other ballots… Anyone caught cheating the system like the Atlanta film shows should get a fair day in court instead of given awards by the person they helped illegally steal the election for. We, military would rather mail in ballots be eliminated than have us used for an excuse for a corrupt tool that most other countries have already made illegal for the obvious reason.

  2. I voted today in NY. They didn't need or want my photo ID. They said they were doing signature identification.
    I had to sign on an iPad 3 TIMES before they said "close enough".
    My signature is never identical as what it was 4 years ago. I'm getting older and if I remember correctly I signed on paper 4 years ago and today they asked me to sign on a digital screen with a stylus. it comes out very different as many know when having to sign your name after using your credit card.
    I'm not someone that thinks there's rampant voter fraud, certainly not enough to sway any results. But even experts will say that "signature verification" is bullshit.
    signatures are easier to mimic by someone else than it is to duplicate by the actual person it belongs to.
    It shouldn't be the be all and only verification. I honestly thought for a minute that they were going to deny my right to vote. The government should issue everyone on their 18th birthday an official ID card. Again, not that I think voter fraud is a huge issue, but because I almost was not allowed to vote because the guy on the other side of the table was given the unearned title of a "signature verification professional".

    anyways, Vote 💙🇺🇸!

  3. The chaos is still going to happen.
    Just there won't be the excuse of ballots coming in from nowhere.
    Also, MUCH more lawenforcement will be there this time.
    F around, find out time.

  4. Your elections are THE joke of the planet.
    Banana republics have better systems of voting.
    In most EU countries we have ONLY paper ballots, NO computerized machines, SINGLE day elections (Sunday), you vote ONLY with your ID (or passport).
    And somehow, we have +95% of the results within 3-4 hours.
    Only overseas citizens can vote by mail, and only in their local embassies.
    If you are 100 or 200 Km away from your polling station you don't have to vote.

    I don't blame Trump supporters. I saw unbelievable 3rd world situations happening in 2020.
    Your system is DESIGNED for FRAUD.

  5. Nothing will prevent Donald Trump from once again declaring fraud the moment the polls close and his Royal Highness doesn't have the answer he wants. Nothing will prevent Trump's Cult of drooling lunatics to answer his call and engage in mayhem. Republicans have already sued 200 times in anticipation of making mischief. West Coast ballot boxes are literally on fire.
    Bolt your doors and grab the popcorn. We've been on this roller coaster before but it's still going to be a bumpy ride.

  6. None of this matters. The problem begins and ends with Donald J Trump because he was not punished for what he did in 2020 and 21, is likely to do it again. And this time he has election deniers in local offices to help him

  7. I have been asking my whole life why elections are only held on Tuesdays from 7am to 7 pm. The answer was obvious of course . Because politicians do not want everyone to vote. You have some counties that have millions of people trying to vote at the same time Republican's are trying to close polling stations. It's despicable.

  8. Trump and his campaign was ready even in 2016 to protest the election results of he didn't win back in 2016. So it's no surprise that he started the stop the steal on 2020. I'm very concerned this time that he doesn't have anyone to put country over trump in his campaign.

  9. Not a election thing itself but in general a signature is not authentication or validation. A signature just shows someone doodled in the box. To be validation/authentication it needs to be compared to a verified signature and non-changing between uses by the same person. At best, it shows a person read the directions.

  10. All this crap would be better avoided if we get rid of the Slavery comprise, the Electoral College! It was designed around, slavery gone the Electoral college should go with it one America, one American one vote. Why are we still weighing all the bull, why are we having presidents who lost by millions! Why does my friend who lives in Wyoming have her vote counted 18 times to a New Yorkers 1!!!??? 💨🇺🇸🌊💙

  11. I’m in Pima County, Arizona and our ballot also ran to 2 two-sided pages. I believe that the entire state needed this because there weren’t that many strictly local races and a long list of ballot initiatives for the entire state.

  12. I'm ready for:

    1. Early on, the Red Mirage takes hold: MAGA-cultists shout: "STOP THE COUNT"
    2. A bit later, reality sets in, Harris leads: MAGA-cultists shout: "KEEP COUNTING"……even after it's all done and dusted.

  13. I am seventy years old. I haven't created two signatures that look alike in years. Interestingly, my fingerprints have not changed since I was a teenager. What is in the water in America that makes us insist on collecting signatures that might occasionally prove we are when we have fingerprints that will usually identify us, DNA that will almost certainly identify us, and a myriad of two-factor authentication practices on electronic devices that will 100% identify us.
