LETTER: Signature verification at the polls is a joke

Updated November 2, 2020 - 9:27 pm

When I voted, I was asked to sign in. This was done on an electronic pad. I couldn’t recognize any part of what I scribbled on that pad, with the possible exception of the letter “T” of my first name.

I told the election official that I didn’t believe what I had just signed was even remotely similar to my signature when I registered to vote in the 1980s. The reply: “No problem, the system says you’re good to go.”

I have absolutely no faith in the integrity of the vote in this state. A photo ID must be required of every voter in this country.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
