Check this record
In the last election, more than 100,000 ballots were rejected due to signature mismatches—and more than 200,000 voters endured hassles just to get their vote to count.
Every vetted record has a fingerprint that two keys signed and a timestamp authority stamped. The signed record, the keys and the receipts are in a public log, so you can check the signed copy there without relying on this site, and then check that this page shows that copy.

Judgments behind this record
Verdict on the claim
Call: Not supported
The guide does not say which election is meant. Secretary of State rejection-reason reports give these figures. June 2, 2026 primary: 148,427 mail ballots rejected, 93,666 of them late and 43,976 for non-matching signatures. November 4, 2025 statewide special election: 159,999 rejected, 72,473 late, 69,171 non-matching signatures. November 5, 2024 general election: 122,480 rejected, 71,381 non-matching signatures. In each election total rejections exceeded 100,000, but signature mismatches alone were under 100,000, so the figures do not support "more than 100,000 ballots were rejected due to signature mismatches". The claim that more than 200,000 voters endured hassles is not documented in the guide or in these reports.

Check it yourself
Copy the public log and run its script. It reads only the public log: the signed copy of this record, the judgments behind it, the keys and the receipts. It recomputes each fingerprint and checks the proof, both signatures and the timestamps. It checks the signed copy in the log, not the text on this page:
git clone https://github.com/Macpire/ideology-integrity-log
cd ideology-integrity-log
npx tsx integrity/verify-record.ts --log ca-2026 ca-prop-39-claim-2 --repo .To check that the text this site serves is that signed copy, add the site's address. Only this check ties the log to what you read here:
