Overvote
An overvote occurs when one votes for more than the maximum number of selections allowed in a contest. The result is a spoilt vote which is not included in the final tally.
One example of an overvote would be voting for two candidates in a single race with the instruction "Vote for not more than one." Robert's Rules of Order notes that such votes are illegal.
Undervotes combined with overvotes (known as residual votes) can be an academic indicator in evaluating the accuracy of a voting system when recording voter intent.
While an overvote in a plurality voting system is always illegal, in certain other electoral methods including approval voting, this style of voting is valid, and thus invalid overvotes are not possible.
In the corporate world, the term "overvote" describes a situation in which someone votes more proxies than they are authorized to, or for more shares than they hold of record.

Overfed
by: HarmfulBanish my soul? Gather to a head, someday
We all live our lies so oversized
Unleash my thoughts? I wish I could wipe from this place
All around my head? It's overfed
I don't know if anyone holds the line?
You and me gonna need some time to wash away the lies
Again we're told to shut it down
Although it's cold, place my demands to understand
Control my hopes, everyone denies to fail
Why can't we find our own delight
I don't know if anyone holds the line?
You and me gonna need some time to wash away the lies
I don't know if anyone holds the line?
You and me gonna need some time to wash away the lies
I don't want to lose myself again
Don't want to be my one and only friend
In a moment of pure self help you win
Banish my soul? Gather to a head, someday
We all live our lies so oversized
Unleash my thoughts? I wish I could wipe from this place
All around my head? It's overfed
I don't know if anyone holds the line?
You and me gonna need some time to wash away the lies
I don't know if anyone holds the line?
You and me gonna need some time to wash away the lies
I don't know if anyone holds the line?
You and me gonna need some time to wash away the lies
I don't know if anyone holds the line?
You and me gonna need some time to wash away the lies
I don't know if anyone holds the line?
You and me gonna need some time to wash away the lies
I don't know if anyone holds the line?
