What author Yost may mean is that someone from St. Paul who's trying to vote illegally in Bemidji after casting a vote in St. Paul could be readily identified as a fraud.
oh....good thought....I wasn't thinking of it that way.

The purpose of the provisional ballot system was to allow a voter
to show up at a polling place and if his name did not appear on
the official registered voters list, he could go ahead and vote 'provisionally'
and that ballot would be held and not counted until such time as the validity
of the voters eligibility to vote could be verified.
My opinion is that in the hypothetical case given,
the voter from St. Paul would (should) be found inelligible to vote in Bimidji.
