There's no police officer hanging out at the polling location to arrest someone for signing their name incorrectly on the voter roll. At least in California, signatures on the rolls are only verified after the fact. At least with mail in ballots you have the recourse of not counting the vote if the signature does not match. For the in-person roll you can't even do that!

Not meant to sway the argument either way, simply an anecdote - in Pennsylvania when you vote you sign your name next to the signature on file. I've seen people be given a hard time when the signatures are wildly different.
Seems like you could just copy the signature from the box next door then?
