The ESIGN Act of 2000 establishes the legal validity of electronic signatures on platforms such as DocuSign or the signature functionality of Adobe PDFs.
It has been widely accepted for over two decades.
Under the ESIGN Act of 2000 there are rigorous rules establishing the validity of an e-signature, including IP address tracking.

The autopen is not covered by the ESIGN Act of 2000.

NBC is such a complete joke of a news organization.

Esign/docusign and auto pen are two completely different things.

What's the legal distinction you'd like to direct our attention to.
