The surge of young voters has caused issues in Nevada during the 2024 election.
On Tuesday, CNN’s Jim Acosta revealed that Nevada was having issues with young voters having mismatched signatures and needing authentication.
According to Acosta, young voters don’t know how to sign their names, forcing election officials to scramble.
“A lot of young voters don’t know how to sign their names. When they sign their names on some of these ballots, they are not jiving with what state officials have on file.”
“And so what they’re doing at this point is point is sort of frantically reaching out to a lot of young voters across the state of Nevada and saying, hey wait a minute, there’s a problem with your ballot, and you need to check in.”

Nevada’s secretary of state, Cisco Aguilar, spoke with the NY Times regarding the signature issues he’s seeing from voters.
“It’s mostly the fact that young people don’t have signatures these days. And when they did register to vote through the automatic voter registration process, they signed a digital pad at D.M.V., and that became their license signature.”
Social media users immediately questioned the education system over the signature issue
