In the very few cases where there has been a re-vote, I believe is was conducted for only the people that voted the first time; you use the prior ballots as a sort of a registration card.

IMO, a re-vote for a precinct would be so closely scrutinized, it would probably be the only one that didn't have fraud.

The butterfly ballot, the fact that the ballot was reviewed and approved would likely be the factor that would result in the "confusing" claim to be dismissed.

The other potential, in which a machine may have not read the ballots correctly [completely] is a separate issue and IMO the most important one. If a manual reading of the polls results in a different one than the machine counted I would select the manual reading as the accurate one.
