>Signatures are not reliably checked

What leads you to believe this?



Because I have just scribbled and it was counted.


I draw smiley faces, little sail boats, and other faces on retail receipts. No one has ever challenged me.


The verification on retail transactions and on ballots have nothing in common. Signatures on ballots are validated by humans, usually with multiple observers who can object to any specific signature.
