Requiring election/registration officials to verify generational and place-name identifiers on a returned absentee ballot could create a moral issue. What if if is clear beyond any doubt -- especially since the envelope supplied with the actual absentee paper ballot re-confirms identity -- that the voter is indeed the person he/she claims to be. Yet the generational or place-name identifier hasn't been added. Would you, as election/registration official, deny that vote, knowing that the correctly-identified person is voting? For a nit-picking and non-sensical reason, a vote would have been been unjustly denied. .
