Yeah, I got one of those “duplicate” ballots. News stories about it were posted all over political discussion sites as “proof” of fraud.

What they didn’t mention is that they all had serial numbers that tracked back to the registration roll anyway. If you tried to send both in, it wasn’t counted, and you’d be caught in the act.

I’m more comfortable with this process than I am with electronic voting with no paper record.

Can you name one person that was caught in the act?
I'm not saying that people were caught doing it, I'm saying that if someone did, election officials would literally have a sheet of paper in their hand with the name of someone who tried to vote twice.
