One of the many reasons political parties can’t “cross over the aisle” and work together is the rejection by liberals of being contained by the letter of the law.
With the democrat’s inability to pass meaningful legislation for their causes, they turn to the judicial branch of the government to amend statutory laws, via progressive judges who will apply their “logic” which in effect modifies parts of the laws.
With the Senate race between incumbent Republican Lindsey Graham and very heavily funded democratic Jaime Harrison, neck and neck, the left hopes that a judges’ ruling can allow their illegal ballot harvesters, who sign the envelopes for the voter, not matching the voters signature, disqualifying the ballot, to not be disqualified helping give Harrison the victory.
Even though the South Carolina legislature added the extra fraud safeguard of checking for matching signatures, a federal judge in South Carolina ruled Tuesday that local election authorities cannot discard absentee ballots whose signatures do not match those on file after all.
U.S. District Judge Richard Mark Gergel, an appointee of President Barack Obama, said that the signature authorization procedures being used by local authorities were “subjective.”
The judge added that matching the signatures was a significant “burden” on the right to vote, the Washington Post noted.
The State, a Columbia, South Carolina-based newspaper, reported:
The ruling applies only to voter signature mismatches — when election officials determine a voter’s signature on an absentee ballot does not resemble the signature on file. Voters who return absentee ballots without their own signature or without a witness signature (unless they were received by Oct. 7) will still, as of this moment,have their votes discounted and not be afforded an opportunity to correct the deficiency.
…
While South Carolina law directs poll managers to compare voters’ signatures on the poll list — where they sign their name before voting — with their signature on their identification card, nothing in the state code expressly allows county boards of voter registration and elections to employ any type of signature matching procedure upon receipt of an absentee ballot …
To summarize, a liberal judge thinks it’s a significant “burden” for voters to sign their paperwork the same way twice, and that reasonable voting official can’t determine if the signatures appear to be signed by the same person, thus modifying the law. One judge, less than a week before a federal election, just overrode the state legislature.
Mark my words, thousands of late ballots will come in, many with signature mismatches. The question is, will they be enough to steal the election?

Get rid of the judges that do not follow the law but use their own desires so that their political agenda is accomplished. Democrat judges do this and if your paying attention its only democrat judges making these choices.
This judge needs to be disbarred.
Excuse me! Hell no! Not acceptable!
There is a reason we have separation of power.
Thus sending everything to the Supreme Court. And then they blame Trump. I’m 70 year old. I’ve voted for 50 years now. I used to be a Democrat. But, I gained some experience in life and realized how morally corrupt the entire party is.
I have a medical condition called esentiale trimmers. My hands shake when I try to do anything thing like writing, eating and cooking. My signature never looks the same. I used to have good handwriting now I can not understand what I’ve written.
That is why you have a witness
The ONLY reason to accept mismatched ballots/signatures is so people can cheat. They don’t even try to hide it.
All of these Dems must have went to school or to the same training as crooked Hillary
Where is the balance of power in South Carolina? WHO can stand up to this VERY BIASED “judge”, and set him straoght? Are we really helpless and do these UNELECTED officials really have that much power to OVERRIDE the State’s Legislature? God have mercy of us!
