50. I do think there is a right and wrong ...

I believe that when you sign it you should date it.
If you mail it, that postmark should be dated on or prior to the election date.

If your ballot has an incorrect or missing signing date and you drop it off at a voting precinct or at the ROV, on or prior to election day, it should still be counted regardless of the signing date statis, because the ballot is in the system before the election ended.

The ballot shouldn't be counted, if it was mailed and the ballot has a postmark after the election date, even if it has a signing date prior to the election date or it has no signing date at all.
