Overvotes, you can only pick X choices for a specific race and you picked X+n, somehow. Machines may auto reject all overvotes. A human eye however may be able to discern intent of many overvotes, assuming the state law allows that. How? Say it's a Pick Only 1 race:
You mark 1 bubble, then change your mind, cross it out, and mark a different one.
You mark 1 wrong bubble on accident, cross it out, and mark a different one.
You mark the bubble you intended to. Later somebody else intentionally or otherwise marks your ballot in a bubble for that 1 bubble race, creating an over vote.
You mark 1 bubble. But because you were given a sharpie, when you mark a bubble on the other side of the ballot, it bleeds through and touches on another bubble creating an overvote.
Undervote is easier, you didn't pick enough bubbles for the race in question. There's a 'cure ballot' window where you have a chance to update your ballot, but outside of that it stays blank.
They say the ovals were designed so bleed through in Maricopa county could not cause an overvote (ovals were staggered on other side to avoid this possibility, but they look really close in that picture. you draw a little outside the lines and boom, overvote.
I've seen that video, any pictures of their ballots? one held up in the light would be nice to see if the ballots were intentionally printed to create overvotes ESPECIALLY for Trump and other R candidates..

interesting on the bleed through overvote, I'd like to see how the ballots were organized and printed...
