About 'Remade Ballots'
This is mostly copied from a reply I gave to another FB user.
If you ever heard the term 'remade ballot' or 'remake a ballot' here's what it entails:
A 'remade' ballot is a voted ballot that has been copied onto a fresh ballot by poll workers. Reasons why this can happen are described below. Original ballots are labeled and numbered (bad ballot 1, 2, 3..) remade ballots are similarly labeled and numbered one-to-one, therefore if there's a question as to whether ballots have been remade appropriately it's possible (e.g. in a recount) to compare the two. Typically two poll workers remake a ballot - one checks the other to make sure a ballot is remade based on most likely voter intent. Remade ballots are recorded in the 'incident log' giving a reason why the ballot was remade. Remade ballots and documentation are also not given any information that can connect a particular ballot to a specific voter.
Nearly all remade ballots are absentee ballots (since the original voter isn't around to fill out a new ballot). Reasons ballots are remade range from poor hand-coordination (e.g. stray marks on ballot), error in voting (e.g. overvoting), or the voter was given a ballot that doesn't fit in the tabulator (photocopy of ballot or generic ballot). That last situation is most common with overseas or military voters but will most likely occur if a community doesn't get official ballots made before 'early voting' is scheduled to start.
