[EL] Stray Marks on Ballot

[Sylvia Albert]

Hi folks:

Does anyone know of a  survey of state laws about the treatment of ballots which contain stray marks or other writing?  In a number of states, a stray mark or other mark will  disqualify the ballot.  There are some posts going around social media and we've been getting questions.   It would be great to know which states still use these laws to disqualify ballots.

Thanks,

Sylvia
