re: #631 BeachDem

A few years ago, when it was time to sign the voter log, I whipped out a pen and signed. The poll worker SCREAMED at me that I was supposed to sign in pencil. I asked why. She had not explanation, nor could I find anything about it in the state election laws. Since then, I always have a pen in hand, but nobody’s brought it up again. Weird.

I was under the impression, legally, that a signature in pencil wasn’t worth the graphite used to write it.
