Voters in Georgia, where President Donald Trump leads by around 19,000 votes, may seek to “cure” their mailed ballots if initially rejected, a process that affords voters the opportunity to resolve an issue with a problem ballot and get it counted.

Ballot “curing,” or remediation, is allowed in over a dozen states and it can fix such problems as a forgotten signature or one that does not match the voter registration on file. Georgia law requires the state to notify voters if their ballots have been rejected, according to Georgia’s state website.
