Gen Z voters who struggle with cursive could slow the vote count, Nevada's secretary of state said.
He attributed higher numbers of problematic mail ballots to young voters without signatures.
States in the US require a voter's signature on mail and absentee ballots, and several states require additional verifications, including comparing that signature to the voter's signature on file.
As the state continues to process mail ballots this week, those figures — which are already higher than in 2020 and 2022 — are expected to increase.
Hundreds of thousands of mail ballots, or about 1%, were rejected across the country during the 2022 midterm elections, NPR reported at the time.
