Follow up to my message which preceeded this one: North Carolina does not return overvotes to the voter. They accept all ballots as marked and outstack blank ballots in the write-in compartment (including the "override option" write-ins we've been discussing yesterday and today). Would this have an effect on the behavior of the "override" option?

Upon checking the code, all write-in override options are applied before the overvote condition is checked as per requirements. This discussion was started by Nel's bug report: A candidate and write-in selected in a vote for one race are returned as overvoted, even though the override write-in rule should effect the selection of the write-in only. Candidacies marked with a candidate as well as a write-in are being tallied as overvoted even though they should be tallied as write-in using the override write-in rule. which I believe was in error. Does anyone have confirmation of this behavior? Guy
