#but we gotta hold it together and make sure we're not spreading misinformation and disinformation

[cowboylikedean]

This is half true. It is true ballots are being thrown out. It is also true there is a way to rectify it if your ballot is affected. It is not true that answering the phone to an unknown number is the only way to do that. Here's an article with more information.

From the article, emphasis mine:

I reached out to Nevada officials to ask whether it was true, per a rumor on X, that elections workers were attempting to call those voters, as opposed to, say, texting them. Because, I have a couple of first-time voters in my own household, and those people do not pick u the phone-unless it's dad, and sometimes not even then.

A Clark County elections spokesperson assured me that elections staffers do, in fact, text voters-and call and email and even send ther notices in the mail, and then continue to do so right up to the deadline. Yet despite these efforts, she said, only about half of the rejected ballots got cured in previous elections. That could yet be significant, since Clark County still had 9,600 uncured ballots as of 4 p.m. PT. And Washoe County's website listed 1,375 still in need of curing.

You do not need to answer your phone, but you do need to be on the lookout for any correspondence.

You also need to be wary of half truths. This week there's going to be a lot of scary things in headlines, but the story is always going to be more complex than that. It is vital we all do our research when we read something that scares us. It is not as hopeless as it seems. These tweets and this post sound like if you miss one call tonight, you will lose your chance. This is not only not correct information for the voters of Nevada, but also everyone else who is anxious and nervous right now. There's a lot to be anxious and nervous about so it is so important we take every precaution to make sure we and those around us are only as anxious and nervous as we need to be, not more.

Take care of yourself and do your research!!

❗️Nevada voters - this is going to sound weird, but PICK UP YOUR PHONE if an unknown number calls.

**Lots of signatures on ballots are not matching and your ballot may need to be fixed.

TLDR; yes, signature matching is an antiquated way to verify ballots but it is still being used. Reportedly thousands of ballots here need to be cured. Answer the phone!
