When all the votes are counted this year, Americans should have far more confidence their votes were tallied correctly than in 2016.
After that contest was upended by Russian interference, states vastly increased the number of votes that are cast with paper records that can be audited later. More than 90 percent of votes will have a paper record this year compared with about 80 percent in 2016.
States have also significantly improved how often and how scrupulously they perform post-election audits.
The changes have been especially significant in some of the states ... contested by Trump.
Georgia and Pennsylvania have both shifted from having paper records for few or none of their voters in 2016 to having paper records for all votes cast in their states — a protection security experts say is a bare minimum to ensure votes weren’t altered by hackers or miscounted because of a technology failure.

God forbid we treat every voter the same! The horror!
Before you know it we'll be counting all the votes too!

There's your problem. Would you accept a check in exchange for goods without an exact match signature or verifiable form of id?

Nice attempt at shifting there. Regardless of what the rules are, it is important that they be the same for everyone.

There's no shift, the verification requirements for a check or vote are identical - exact match or GTFO.
They clearly were not. [informationliberation.com]

Super reliable source of information there, totally not a propaganda farm /rolls_eyes
for anyone that doesn't want to bother clicking the link
With one graph of google search trends and one showing mail-in ballot percentages by state with Pennsylvania compared to Michigan, Ohio, Arizona, Georgia, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Florida. Totally not an attempt to cherry pick "the truth" to push a specific narrative.
"Fake news" they scream, as they drop every brain cell to believe balatant propaganda as absolute truth.

The performative nature of pseudo-reality [newdiscourses.com] was more than balatant (sic) in Biden's non-existent "Office of the President-Elect". [hg.org]

NO, you GTFO, traitor! Rebel scum! (Remember, how in Star Wars, that was a good thing? And not a crazy fascist attempt to overthrow the US Constitution, like it is now?)

Look dude, for the longest time I had a female name on my ID, checks and stuff issued to my deadname, and I didn't have any problems. I was actually expecting at least one person to be a total dick, but that didn't happen. I was even able to deposit a sizable check (5 figures) written to my deadname with my female name ID to my female name checking account, conduct real estate transactions that way, etc so it's not like we're talking petty cash and smokes or booze here.
As it turns out, the vast majority of people aren't autistic idiots like you, so your hypothesis of exact match fails.
