(a) The person challenging the ballot shall state the reason for the challenge.
(b) The official counting the ballot shall count it as he or she believes proper and then set it aside with a notation as to how it was counted.
(c) The elections official shall, before the recount is completed, determine whether the challenge is to be allowed. The decision of the elections official is final.
