“yes” in the party square;[1] ballots with a cross in the Republican circle and irregular marks across the face of four of the tickets;[2] ballots with a cross in the Democratic circle and horizontal lines through the other five circles.[3]
On the other hand, marks like the following have been held not to be fatal: a straight diagonal line which was apparently part of a cross which the voter forgot to complete;[4] a dotlike mark made close to the end of a cross;[5] a ballot with a cross unusually heavy;[6] two crosses in the party circle;[7] a cross mark in each column in which a candidate’s name appears;[8] or a number of crosses in the voting space opposite the candidate’s name;[9] writing by a voter on his ballot of the party affiliation of a candidate whose name he had also written in.[10]
