What am I doing wrong? My workflow is to keep my images on the card for backup (at least while in the field) but to import them to my Mac / Lightroom CC each night. I select "New" images in the importer, and check the box for "Don't import suspected duplicates".
Lightroom fails to recognize that it has already loaded most of the images on the card, and I am forced to manually choose the ones I want to import, or get an additional copy each time. I say "most", because occasionally, it *does* notice a handful of images, and omits them from the import. I worry that it's so flaky at this that it may inadvertently skip some that are actually new. I get this problem with every camera I have tried (Sony, Nikon, Canon, IPhone, etc.), and whether I put the card in a reader, or whether I connect the camera via USB.

My bet is that Blackest has gave you the answer. If you cull your files and delete the ones you don't want or are unusable (ie, motion blur, out of focus etc), they are still on your card but not in Lighrooms registry.
Lightroom will import them again as new files as you have removed them. You would have to delete the culled files from your memory card as well.
