Update on Challenged Ballots from the 11/09/2023 state matchback

Some data I extracted from the 11/09/2023 state matchback is below. Many challenged ballots won't be 'cured' by November 27th. For example, ~11K "Signature Does Not Match" voters may well be 'disenfranchised' this election. This happens every election. Please check your ballot status at: https://voter.votewa.gov . If your ballot is rejected, please follow your local election department instructions and check https://voter.votewa.gov to make sure your ballot was 'cured' by Nov. 27, 2023 (certification). All this data is current as of 11/09/2023. This data will change as ballot tabulation and ballot challenges increase. Some links for more election information is posted far below. The R 3.4 code I  wrote for this is here.
