In theory you could, but it likely wouldn't count and you would likely get the police at your door.
The way it works in most states where they have precincts is that you show up and your name is on the roll. They mark that you have voted and you cast your ballot.
If you went to a different district your name would not be on their rolls. Most states will allow you to vote, but they will call the precinct you should have voted at and confirm that you haven't already voted there. You could use a different name, but unless you registered under that name, again, you won't be on the rolls and they will want to know where you live so they can check your home precinct to make sure you aren't voting twice.
The only way to get away with it would be to register under different names in different districts and then go to each of those locations. Most voter registration cards require you to put some kind of ID info on it either your SSN or your DL number or something like that. If those are bogus numbers they could come back as fake. If you are using someone else's it could come back as duplicate.
