It’s like a built in skill question. If you can’t pick your candidate off a list with several names maybe you shouldn’t vote.

Well, in theory it could be an issue if there were three John Smiths or something all running as independents, but to my knowledge even these extra-long ballots have not produced an example of that yet.

Unlikely and here most people still have a middle name too.

That issue can be solved by means other than saying, "Sorry, there's already a John Smith on the list, try again next year." Let's focus on the real problems.
