Say a lot of flags are raised, now what do you do? Do-over?

  If there are enough double votes that throwing them all out changes the election. Then yes, do-over. The possibility of that happening is basically non-existent though because it would require a coordinated attack by thousands of people to change a national election (even assuming they strategically attack swing states). There's a virtually zero chance that a group effort involving thousands of people isn't uncovered before the attack happens.

  You invalidate duplicates and notify the real voter they need to re-cast their ballot. You then hand off the evidence to the police for prosecution. But that is getting ahead of ourselves. The problem isn't how do you solve duplicate voting, it is how do you detect it. That is a solved problem, already, and the answer is that there are very few attempts at voter fraud in a vote-by-mail system. Now, the electronic machines are a whole 'nother matter. I would fight hard against my state implementing such a disaster. Vote by mail is great.
