...there is a subtle point embodied in the excerpt of the ballot count log. If you haven't seen the full report, what this excerpt shows is log messages of:
The 1st ballot being successfully scanned and counted;
the 2nd ballot being rejected and "reversed" out of the machine for being misaligned on the front side;
the 3rd ballot being successfully scanned and counted;
the 3rd ballot (same ID number) being successfully scanned and counted again (with no error message of double-scan/double-count);
the 3rd ballot (same ID number) being successfully scanned and counted AGAIN (with no error message again);
and the 4th ballot being rejected and "reversed" out of the machine for being misaligned on the back side.

Neil Gaiman's came in the form of a short story, "The Problem of Susan," which from an excerpt I found is apparently quite vile.
Gaiman has fallen out of public favor as allegations against him have begun to surface.
Two other authors were J. K. Rowling, who ought to know better, and Phillip Pullman, who also writes vile stories, I've been told.
Pastor Douglas Wilson has a lucid, sensitive, and rather long rebuttal to the Problem of Susan; link below.
My own, lesser contribution here, is that C. S. Lewis was a fan of George MacDonald, and MacDonald wrote some vivid portrayals of spiritual devolution. In The Princess and Curdie, Curdie was given the ability to discern which beast a person's moral character was descending into by holding their hand. In ...
