Which candidate received this vote?

this ballot was originally called for the democrat...then a 3 judge panel stepped in...

(CNN) A single ballot has put the control of the Virginia House chamber back in limbo for the second time in one week, and next Wednesday morning, the balance of power will be settled in a random drawing.

In the latest twist in the state's 94th House District race, a three-judge panel in charge of certifying a recount ruled that a ballot had initially been marked for Democrat
Shelly Simonds, but the voter then crossed it out and marked it for Republican Del. David Yancey.

Simonds appeared to have defeated her Republican opponent by one vote on Tuesday — a remarkably razor thin margin that would have prevented Republicans from controlling the House, giving Democrats an equal amount of seats.

A copy of the ballot was obtained by The Virginian-Pilot, showing that a fine slash mark was written through the bubble marking Simonds.

1. Per Virginia law: Yancey

Virginia law doesn't treat a vote as an overvote (and thus reject it) simply because the voter has marked the ballot for more than one candidate. If there are additional markings on the ballot that indicate that the voter intended to vote for a particular candidate (for example by circling one of the marks or striking through one of the marks) it is considered a good ballot.

I don't like the result, but it seems consistent with Virginia election recount procedure.
