From that same story:

For example, sometimes ``it was the voter who put the stylus down, drew back and changed their mind'' and punched the hole for the other candidate, Wolf said. In such cases, a dimple shouldn't count.

But if no other hold is punched, a dimple is as good an indication of a voter's intent as anything, deHaven Smith said, particularly if the person voted a straight ticket in all other races.

``Why would they vote for everything else and not the president?'' deHaven Smith said.


Ah... maybe because they didn't want to vote for President? Is that too simple?
