But I can attest that in my state of Ohio, the ballot CAN be tied to specific voter. Each ballot has a unique number, and that ballot number is recorded for that voter when the voter signs in the poll book. I don't know the purpose for doing so, but specific ballots can be linked to specific voter. | |

| Jun 2, 2020 at 16:53 | comment | added | Number File | That's what I thought...I was also thinking it would be counted once or not at all. I didn't think you could be prosecuted for that for that same reason. | |
| Jun 2, 2020 at 16:52 | comment | added | Joe C | It wouldn't be possible to prosecute someone for doing something like that without undermining secret ballot voting. I would suspect such a ballot would spend ages going through the court system before either counting as one vote for the candidate concerned, or as a spoiled ballot, depending on the laws of the relevant state. | |
