In a post shared on X, a transgender person in Illinois claims to have received two mail-in ballots.

You won’t believe this. Someone here personally sent these to me. Their male relatives, who had recently begun to identify as “women,” received two ballots for the election, one in each name.

There is also no evidence that the person receiving the ballot is transgender. One application was addressed to Jacob, the other to Isabella, and the rest of the information was blurred out. There is no evidence to determine whether these applications are intended for one person with a new identity or two different people.
