And further. If those who have already voted absentee are allowed to revote, who is to stop the Coleman voters from voting twice? Or those that voted absentee for a 3rd party candidate (if there is one) from voting for Mondull? Or from people just voting multiple times under various scenarios?

I disagree with you, but further on your point, how will they prove which ballot is theirs?

The absentee ballots are kept in individual sealed envelopes until after the polls close. At that time the election judges compare the absentee ballots to the voter sign-in book, and any absentee ballots submitted by people who later showed up to vote in person are discarded. *Then* the remaining envelopes are opened and the absentee ballots are counted.

My wife is an election judge, and we're looking forward to a long and pretty miserable night next Tuesday.
