Federal Submission Rejected - Duplicate W2, but it's not!

My e-filed taxes have been rejected twice because the IRS believes I submitted a duplicate W2. I have not. My wife and I each worked on election day for our town and we each received a W2 from the town. The info in each W2 is the same, but distinctly two separate W2s. How can I fix this so I can e-file? Thoughts?

First of all make sure each W2 is assigned to the right spouse.  Then reduce one by $1 and increase the other one $1 in box 1.
