CARSON CITY -- Gov. Jim Gibbons and Assembly Minority Leader Heidi Gansert sent a joint letter today asking registrars of voters to outline their training method for poll workers to verify signatures.

"In the vast majority of cases, signature verification is the sole method of ensuring an individual showing up at the polls is the same person who is lawfully registered to vote," the letter said.

The letter asks county registrars to include information about how much time is spent training poll workers on signature verification, and to provide any training material that is given out.
