Their efforts come amid national tumult over voting rights, with Republicans much more likely than non-Republicans to believe significant voter fraud is a risk.
Some Republican lawmakers speculated that the leaked information could have been used to commit election fraud. They’ve held legislative hearings and have called for a comprehensive audit, similar to the one ordered by the Arizona Senate in that state.
• A signature on an absentee ballot will be matched to one on file with the state. If the signatures don’t match, a voter will have two days to verify their ballot. If it’s not verified, their vote is rejected. Voters whose mailed ballots arrive after Election Day may not have an opportunity to verify their ballot if it is flagged for problems.
• There would be a toll-free number where voters could report suspicious activity at the polls, new definitions for election fraud and illegal activity, and new procedures for election observers.Many of these pieces have previously appeared in legislation introduced by Republican and Democratic legislators in prior years, and those bills could still advance.
In Anchorage’s mayoral runoff election last May, 1.2% of the 87,002 ballots cast by mail were rejected because the signatures on the ballots didn’t match signatures on file with the Alaska Division of Elections. That was the proportion rejected even after voters were notified of a problem and given several days to verify their signatures.
