We do already verify residency (voter registration) and check you haven't voted twice.

There are usually a few double voting cases. I think I remember a case of TX going after maybe i remember a young college student hard. it was on Vice News but I can't find it.

They verify the person with that name/address hasn’t voted twice, the ink assures the person standing in front of them hasn’t voted twice. Is it necessary? Probably not, but it would be an extra layer of security (and reinforce public trust in the process).
