[read the law first]

Let's do this again.

A ballot that can not be read = spoiled ballot.
A ballot that doesn't have a vote for a particular race that the machine can read = undervote.
A ballot that has more than one vote for a race = overvote.

Apples, Pears and Oranges are all fruit, but it is proper to call them by their correct names when you are speaking about one individually. This use of spoiled ballot is like saying that the national championship game will be played in the Fruit Bowl rather than the Orange Bowl.

If they want one name for all three use "irregular ballot."



ARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
