They can't just make people up. They need to have the name and address of the registered voter who's voting.
They can't just re-vote at the same precinct. The EJs will absolutely notice a person coming in and voting more than once. If that gets noticed a single time, the EJ calls the sheriff (in Cook County, at least).
It takes, like, best case, 10-15 minutes to vote in a precinct. There are lines!
How many votes can you cast this way? 10? 20?

The election judge was the one doing this, didn't have to get past anyone.
