I believe if you walk away from the scanner after it spit it out due to the overvote, after a certain period of short time where you didn’t retrieve the ballot from the scanner feeder it will assume you left and re-swallow the ballot in order to count the valid votes.
As I stated earlier, it is impossible to even know how much voter fraud occurs since it is so easy to fraudulently vote in another person’s name without any ID (and in many states even fraudulently register fake names as voters, although doing that is easier to eventually recognize as a fraudulently registration if they check [which many states do not], unlike actually voting fraudulently, which is almost impossible to later determine occurred, let alone identify who did it in order to prosecute.)
If Kris Kobach got nine convictions just in his tenure in his state, despite the extreme difficulty in even identifying voting fraud when it happens and the difficulty in finding who voted fraudulently, imagine how much more fraud occurred in his state that went unidentified and how much fraud occurred in the other 49 states.
There are thousands of temporary poll workers in every state who work only 2 or 3 days a year for the board of elections with a 15 hour workday, 6am-9pm in some states like New York.I They mostly retirees and get about 3-4 hours of training once a year. They each deal with hundreds of voters each election day, signing them in, etc. In it extremely easy to vote in anyone’s name undetected. Most registered voters do not vote in non-presidential election years. And such fraud can, and does, go undetected that it isn’t even quantifiable how much occurs.
Why so much opposition to asking for ID, just like you’re asked when flying, buying alcohol, opening a bank account, applying for food stamps or Medicaid, renting a house, car or hotel room, or picking up a prescription?
Unless the goal is to permit fraudulent voting.
