Re: 2012 Primary Election Day
Unfortunately for you, you are wrong. Just because your ballots were accepted at the early-voting station and at the polling precinct, doesn’t mean they both count. It simply means the second ballot cast will be invalidated once the computer confirms two ballots connected to the same social security number were submitted.
This is why the ballots are numbered: because the exact number on the ballot is also written into the poll book next to your name and signature. It’s also why there is a last minute ‘correction-order list’ which may or may not have been employed in your case, but is still in the computer system. Lastly, changes that are made up to the last 36 hours before the primary, are already in the system available to the Election control center operation (who basically overrule any official at the polls) even if they neither appear in the poll book or the correction-order list. So yes, you will get caught eventually.
It does feel good to think you’re getting away with something, doesn’t it?
Sorry to burst your bubble.
