If these ballots are not going to be counted at the polling place, put them in an envelope, not the AccuVote. Obviously those ballots will have to be attached to some voter information, else there won't be any way to determine at election central which to count and which not to. Back at election central they take the challenged ballots out of their envelope, look at the voter information, and decide whether they are going to count them. Then, they run all the ones they decide to count through central count.
They could I suppose write the voter information right on the ballot, but that does toss voter secrecy. Here is a creative solution if this is the case. Make the races on the front of the ballot partisan -- make the party "races" or somesuch. On the back, create a race with one write-in candidate. Make that race partisan as well, but make it party "nocount". Put one write-in candidate in that race. Set up the AccuVote to sort on write-ins, but not reject on crossover. If the pollworker votes the nocount race, it will cause a party crossover and the races on the front will not be counted. The ballot itself will sort into the write-in bin. The downside to all this is that the only way to count the ballot back at election central will be by hand. There is also I suppose the issue of a voter voting the pollworker oval. Lets just say its a fun exercise, but I would stick with SOP.
