So what happens if a person votes by mail-in and also shows up at the polls? HOW are they going to be able to check this?
I have yet to see a satisfactory answer to this question.
The answer I get is that when a ballot is mailed out, that person's name is marked at the precinct, indicating a ballot was mailed out to them. But all that person has to do is claim they never received it or never sent it out.
Are the precincts going to have the manpower (or desire) to cross-check every mail-in ballot received against the lists of people who came to vote in person?
Just seems like a major cluster to me. People just need to get off their butts for an hour or so and go vote in person. Those who are out of state or country still have the absentee ballot option - which has served us well all these years.
In our system absentee ballots are sent out upon request, and the the district voter registration books kept at the polling place are noted "absentee ballot requested". If a voter tries to sign in and absentee is noted, and they claim that they have not voted their absentee ballot, they can not vote on the machine. But they can submit a provisional ballot. That ballot is only counted if the non-vote by absentee is confirmed.
