On July 8, the League of Women Voters of the U.S. sued New York election officials, over the state’s policy of rejecting postal ballots. If the signature on the outer envelope of the ballot doesn’t appear to match the signature on the voter’s registration card, election officials discard the ballot, without asking the voter to verify the validity of the ballot. League of Women Voters of the U.S. v Kosinski, s.d., 1:20cv-5238.

Here is the Complaint, which says that New York rejects postal ballots at a higher rate than any other state.
