Automated first, then kicks out to human. Then they call if the human can't tell.

When I was a California resident, I tried voting in the first two elections that I was old enough to vote, both times I got a letter a few months later saying my vote couldn't be counted because my signature didn't match. I never bothered voting again.
> Signatures on mail ballots must be verified, and if they don’t match the signatures on file, county election officials are obliged to try to contact those voters to verify their signatures.
What does signature verification entail? Is it automated? I'm imagining there must be some sort of manual judgement at some point, but that seems dicey.
