Correct. Is there any requirement for those ballots to have a provisional ballot that come in instead or it's just they have the incorrect date, they're still counting? Yeah, If there's an incorrect or if the voter did not add their again, they're required to sign it. But if they did not add the date or they miss dated it, then that mail in ballot will be counted. And that's something we've advocated for. I know in my experience and in all the other counties who have testified, they don't use that date for any purpose whatsoever except reviewing it, resulting in voters having their ballot not be counted. (20:07–20:23)

CLAIM

Asserts that mail-in ballots will be counted even if undated or misdated, provided they are signed.
