Tippie, your post was scary. I have worked as an election judge in almost every election for the past 7 years-local/primary/or presidential. I am now an equipment manager.
This type of challenge regarding a signiture can occur, but I think that it requires a consensus of several election judges and in Chicago it could require a call down to the central elections office to make the final decision. This decision would be made by them (not an individual judge) and then related to the potential voter. I don't believe any single election judge has the right or the power to deny a voter the right to vote based solely on a signiture. There are other ways to verify if a voter is really who they say that they are. Asking for picture id's are important at times like this.
Sorry that this happened to you. I know that I would probably have been outraged if it was me. I have seen alot of strange irregularities occur, and this falls into this category. I am so glad that you insisted and were able to vote.
