As part of an agreement with the Georgia Democratic Party, the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, state election officials agreed to permit \u201cballot curing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ballot curing allows voters whose ballots were rejected a chance to \u201ccure\u201d or correct the issue on their absentee ballot so that it can be counted.

Prior to the agreement, the signature on an absentee ballot had to match the signature in Georgia\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/stacey-abrams-voting-rights-pac-helped-group-that-pushed-voter-fraud-conspiracy-theories\/\" title=\"Stacey Abrams\u2019 Voting Rights PAC Helped Group That Pushed Voter Fraud Conspiracy Theories\">voter registration database<\/a>. Ballots were rejected if the signatures did not match. <\/p>\n<p>But the new agreement made sure that an absentee ballot signature simply had to match the signature on the absentee ballot application. This means if someone filled out an application fraudulently, that same person could then sign the ballot itself and both signatures would match. <\/p>\n<p>Or take a state like <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/03\/13\/wisconsins-left-led-supreme-court-could-bring-back-illegal-widespread-ballot-drop-boxes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Wisconsin<\/a>, where two years after Trump lost by roughly 20,000 votes, the state Supreme Court <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2022\/07\/08\/wisconsin-supreme-court-drops-hammer-on-2020-election-shenanigans-ballot-drop-boxes-are-illegal-under-wisconsin-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruled<\/a> unelected officials did not have authority to usurp the legislature the way it did when it issued guidance permitting the use of ballot drop boxes in direct contradiction of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.legis.wisconsin.gov\/statutes\/statutes\/6\/iv\/87\/4\/b\/1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">state law<\/a>.
