State law allows the signature to be "cured" five days after Election Day, which means if the election office thinks the signature or some other detail is wrong, the voter has five more days to come in and fix it so the ballot counts.Simply put, states that count faster, like Florida, have different laws. Florida cuts off early ballot drop-off at polling places on the Friday before Election Day.
