Maureen Heard, of Derry, N.H., chief communications officer for Veterans Affairs New England Healthcare System, in her office Tuesday, Oct. 23, 2018, at the VA, in Bedford, Mass. As the popularity of mail-in-ballots continues to grow, so do concerns over whether those ballots will be counted and whether voters will be notified if theirs is rejected. Heard's ballot was tossed out in 2016 for a mismatched signature. (Steven Senne/AP)
