K, makes sense, but why do you suspect that they will not review the "spoiled" ballots, like ,heaven forbid, Florida
Because I believe these "spoiled" ballots represent overvotes, where a voter inadvertently voted for more than one candidate for a particular office. In many cases, such as with the optical scanning machines, when the voter attempts to cast such a ballot, the overvote is detected as the voter's ballot is read by the voting machine. The ballot is rejected by the machine. The poll worker is alerted by the rejection and determines that an overvote has taken place, provides the voter a fresh ballot, and marks the uncounted ballot as spoiled. I personally witnessed such an occurance at my own polling place in Florida. Since the person whose initial ballot was "spoiled" got a fresh ballot and was able to vote, the "spoiled" ballot represents an erroneous duplicate ballot that should not be counted.
