the machines have 2 sections in the bottom of the collection box. One for machine counted votes with no write-ins and a second, beside it that collects counted ballots with write-ins. at the end of the night the back of the machine is opened, both bins visible, and the laft side with no write-ins are boxed up. the right side has ballots with write-ins. those are gathered and the write-in votes only are hand counted.
there is a small side bin with a slot on the side for ballots ( usually few, if any) go that need to have all votes hand counted .
