Every time I'm required to sign on a digital screen, like for a credit card purchase, my standard comment is "That's not my signature." And it truly doesn't look like anything I would have written with a pen. But the store clerk doesn't care because they witnessed me signing it, so there's no question that it's mine.
For my driver's license I tried to sign the digital screen 5 or 6 times and it never looked like my real signature. Finally I gave up and accepted the 6th try, and now that is on my permanent ID. I can never show my license for ID because the signature doesn't even look like my real signature.
And what about when there's no witness, like when someone is mailing their absentee ballot? I completely agree that ballots shouldn't be thrown out by pollworkers who don't have the proper training. If they tried to match my ballot signature to my driver's license, it would never match and my ballot would be one of the discarded ones.
