From a Baltimore Sun article:

[MD State Board of Elections] members questioned how the state will verify that ballots are being cast by the actual voters they sent them to. Charlson said the state’s current absentee ballot procedure is to check for a signature.

 

“We’re not actually looking at the signatures, are we?” asked Howells. “In vote-by-mail states, I think they used software to compare the signatures.”

 

“Our problem is we are not a vote-by-mail state, so we have no real safeguards built into it,” Cogan said.

 

The board quickly moved on from the topic.
