I thought it was identical signatures. As in, not an autopen, but digital copy.

If an autopen is disqualifying e signatures certainly are since you do not even need the fairly complex and large autopen.

Pardons don't even need to be signed, executive orders however do and even then their legal basis is very iffy.
