Levy, the overvotes don't get counted at all. They are legally considered spoiled ballots because two or more candidates in a given race had their names marked, thus nullifying the vote. Ultimately, they're discarded and don't count.

This, by the way, is the crux of the lawsuit of the citizens calling for a revote in Palm Beach County, which had more overvotes than any other Florida county. It's where the Gore voters became rightfully inflammed when they realized they had voted for Buchanon--the very first day of this controversy: election day!
