Quick rundown from a poll worker on the safeguards against people voting by mail and in-person. Obvious caveat that elections are generally run at the county or even municipal level, and things vary wildly.

So what would happen if you tried to vote twice? 1/x https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1301286928545964034">https://twitter.com/maggieNYT...

Each precinct gets a book of every registered voter. When you come in to vote, poll workers verify that you are in the book. If you& #39;re in the book, you sign by your name and are given a ballot. 2/x

But what if you& #39;d also voted absentee? Well, absentee ballots here are counted at the precinct level; poll workers bring the sealed envelopes up, we verify the name and address match what& #39;s in the book, and then we write down ABSENTEE next to that voter& #39;s name. 3/x

If you try to vote in person after we& #39;ve tabulated your absentee ballot, you& #39;ll be reminded you voted absentee and told to leave. This happened to a voter in the last election, where he had forgotten he& #39;d already voted by mail. 4/x

But what if you vote in person, and then we discover you& #39;ve also submitted an absentee ballot? Well, as part of the check-in process, we ask every in-person voter whether they& #39;ve submitted already an absentee ballot, so hopefully it shouldn& #39;t happen. 5/x

But let& #39;s say it does. Well, when we go to mark you down as having voted absentee, we would see that you& #39;ve already signed the book! We& #39;d set your ballot aside, write up a report, and if you had done this purposefully, that& #39;s criminal voter fraud. 6/x

So yeah, I wouldn& #39;t recommend trying to vote twice. Under no circumstances would both your votes actually be counted, and it& #39;s both (1) very illegal and (2) very obvious what you& #39;ve done. 7/7
