You do have a point there. I ended up on Alameda County's voter rolls twice, because they typoed my name the first time ("Stondlee") and then when I tried to correct it, instead of fixing it, they created a brand new record. I ended up with two vote-by-mail ballots that year. I called the Registrar of Voters office and begged them to delete the "Stondlee" record and shredded the duplicate ballot, but, as in the case you cite, the only thing that kept me from double-voting was my personal honesty. I've never missed an election since the first one for which I was eligible.
I think they have finally killed that duplicate record. It had the additionally unwanted effect of generating multiple jury duty notices. For a while there, I was under nearly perpetual jury calls and I had to keep telling them "that one is a duplicate."
