None of these replies have answered my question about the voltage being on
both wires at the same time. I would think it would be impossible for
the motor to turn with voltage on both windings (clockwise and CC) AT THE
SAME TIME.

I think you are seeing the "return" voltage of the other, not-energised
winding of the motor. The motor, after all, would be acting like a
transformer -- with the "energised" side of the motor being the primary
winding, and the "un-energised" side of the motor being the secondary.

It's just an inefficient auto-transfomer when measured that-a-way.
