One can vote in many precincts. One could certainly get away with voting twice in the same precinct, too. Use your imagination. There are and have been many ways to cheat.
"Linda Kay Hill, a homemaker and Louisiana native, died Aug. 2, 2006, of a heart attack, her husband recalled, and is buried at Houston Memorial Gardens in Pearland. But Harris County voter records indicate she –- or someone using her identity –- cast a ballot in the November election that year. Linda Hill of Woodwick Street voted in person on Election Day, records show.
She is among the more than 4,000 people whose names are listed both on Harris County’s voter rolls and also in a federal database of death records, a Texas Watchdog analysis has found.
And dozens of those people, like Linda Hill, have apparently cast ballots from beyond the grave, records since 2004 show. One expert says the number of deceased names used to cast ballots may be higher than what Texas Watchdog’s analysis found.
Instances of dead voters’ names being used to cast ballots were most frequent in three elections, the November 2004 general election, the November 2006 general election and the March 2008 Democratic primary, the analysis found."

Yes, there certainly IS an obvious chance those forms will be used to cast fake ballots on election day. That's why filing fake forms is itself officially Election Fraud. There should not be an incentive to fill in fake forms, period. Turning in fake forms is itself a crime, and for good reason.
