But the main thing is that there is no way to identify the ballots resulting from the supplementation,
From the supplementation which was the voter ID #'s.
Doesn't a voter ID # identify the voter?
If not, then what is its purpose?
Don't those applications - with the, er, amended, voter ID #'s also have the voter's name, address, social security #, etc.
When the resulting absentee ballot is submitted, don't the voters have to sign them?
Edit: Yes, they do.
So the applications, with the voter ID #, NAME, etc. can be traced to the ballot.

101.65 Instructions to absent electors.--The supervisor shall enclose with each absentee
ballot separate printed instructions in substantially the following form:
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE MARKING BALLOT.
1. VERY IMPORTANT. In order to ensure that your absentee ballot will be counted, it should be
completed and returned as soon as possible so that it can reach the supervisor of elections of
the county in which your precinct is located no later than 7 p.m. on the day of the election.
2. Mark your ballot in secret as instructed on the ballot. You must mark your own ballot unless
you are unable to do so because of blindness, disability, or inability to read or write.
3. Place your marked ballot in the enclosed secrecy envelope.
4. Insert the secrecy envelope into the enclosed mailing envelope which is addressed to the
supervisor.
