Early and Often?

UPDATE/CORRECTION: The good folks at MoveOn wrote me to assure me that someone had in fact re-voted using my link at around the time that the second receipt email was sent. They also pointed out that if I had forwarded the original email from MoveOn, and a recipient of that forwarded email voted using the link, then I would receive the second receipt email.
D'oh.
I did in fact forward the email. I can only assume that one of the recipients voted using the link. I can't believe that I was stupid enough not to figure this out before I made an ass out of myself.
I offer my most sincere apologies to MoveOn, and wish them nothing but the best in their endorsement process. Now, I'm going to go hide under a rock for a few days.
Also, MoveOn notes:
For anyone who was a MoveOn member as of noon Eastern yesterday who didn't receive a ballot: A) Please check your email again -- a few of the ballots finished going out in the early afternoon; B) Please check your spam folder, the ballot has as a subject line "URGENT: Presidential Endorsement: Vote Today!"; C) if you're still unable to find your ballot, please email us at ballothelp@moveon.org.

I assure you that I only voted once in the MoveOn primary . . . yet here's what my email receipt(s) from MoveOn tell me I did (Click pic for larger image):
This sort of raises questions about the integrity of an endorsement process which could be worth a couple million dollars.
