Ballots with 2 votes for President (overvotes) won't be counted. Ballots with no registered vote for President (undervotes) can be counted if the ballots meet the Ohio laws. No "dimpled" or "pregnant" chads in Ohio. I'm pretty sure the law is that the chad has to be detached at two corners.

In any event, the undervotes would probably break along the same lines as the counted votes.

I read that late on election night the two campaigns quietly agreed to count 20,000 random provisional ballots. The idea was that if Kerry was winning 70 or 80 percent of them, then he had a justification for not giving up right away. It turned out the majority of the 20,000 ballots broke for Bush and that was what prompted Kerry to concede the next morning. The count was unofficial, but a good indication that the numbers just weren't there.
