...is often due to elderly votes who submit an absentee ballot, forget the voted absentee, then try to vote again at polling place, which is what I bet probably happened with the two other instances noted in the story above. That being said, most states have a way of tracking who has received an absentee ballot, so they cannot subsequently vote in person.

And that's why we have to make it impossible for illegal immigrants to vote; then my multiple votes will count twice as much!
