They're legally required to submit all forms that are filled out, even if one person fills out multiple forms. Even if it's an obvious fake, like Mickey Mouse. Filtering out names they don't like would be much worse than submitting extra names (who obviously won't be actually voting).

On the scale of voting problems, extra registrations are a nuisance, extra voting is a problem, and preventing legitimate votes is nefarious. Only the first and third are in any way common. If people were actually voting 72 times, the registration story would be background info for that story.
