A quick and effective strategy is to simply serialize them. When you detect 2 ballots with the same number, you void both. And you are correct. You'll never see that. It will disenfranchise voters, don't you know.

You don't want to use predictable numbering, though. If you did a nefarious actor could cancel out votes from precincts know to vote a certain way just by injecting duplicate ballots into the system to cause them to be rejected.
