What are the immediate consequences of signature mismatch rejections on election outcomes, particularly in close races?

In Maui, Hawaii, and Nevada, a significant number of mail-in ballots were rejected due to signature mismatches, potentially disenfranchising voters. This issue disproportionately affected close races, such as a Maui County Council election decided by 97 votes, where a lawsuit challenged the results. In Nevada, approximately 9,000 ballots were rejected, impacting close state legislative and city council races.
