His ballot has marked both. Computer asks if he chooses to vote for neither. He says yes. So ballot is accepted.
Both checked marks means he intended to vote for neither and confirmed it when the machine asked. But you say otherwise - that his intent was to vote for Franken. Why do you contradict what the machine and voter both agreed?
Now, if machines do not confirm a vote and does not ask questions, then that same ballot could be a vote for Franken. Without knowing how machines work, then a voter's intent is not obvious. You may be way past the machines. But those who decide by first learning facts may not have an 'obvious' choice.
Helpful would be training on how to color pictures with crayons.
