One man, two votes: Giovanni di Lorenzo, editor-in-chief of the German newspaper DIE ZEIT announced yesterday that he voted twice. As a dual citizen of Germany and Italy he cast his ballots for both countries.
That's cheating! I didn't vote in France...
He's being investigated for it.
Oh, so there are laws against it? How are they supposed to be enforced, since there's no way to know if you've voted in another country?
Usually all precincts have voter lists and when you vote you get an [X] next to your name.
I think you can find out if someone voted twice ...
Yeah, but who is going to check every single name?
I know lots of people vote twice (or more time) in municipal elections here, but that's a bit different.
