CNN anchor Jim Acosta discussed an election issue in Las Vegas, Nevada, where over 13,000 people across the state who voted by mail will have to verify their identities in order for their votes to count.
According to the news anchor, “a lot of young voters don’t know how to sign their names,” saying state officials are texting the individuals for verification or else their votes won’t be counted.
The issue is strange, as even young people surely know how to sign their own names, but it’s also suspicious that AP News says “younger voters” have slightly shifted towards Trump in the 2024 election.
Democratic Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar also pushed the narrative to NewsNation, saying, “Young voters don’t have a long history of voting, right? The signature that they have is the signature on their voter registration form and sometimes it’s in a digital form at the DMV. Or also it’s their paper registration or just their driver’s license. Those are their signatures and without a long history, it’s hard to compare their signatures.”
The voters will have until Nov. 12 to provide their signatures.
