...and if they are not properly punched out they are also to be discarded.

Oh...I see. So this is the same as saying that if the ballots weren't properly punched they too should be discarded? It's very clear and simple.

Not true according to the Federal Election Commission, which has posted on their website this from the U.S. C.

Denying the Right of Individuals to Vote Because of Errors or Omissions on their Voter Registration Application (42 U.S.C. 1971(a)(2)(B))



This statute applies in all jurisdictions and to all elections. It specifically prohibits any person acting under color of law from denying "the right of any individual to vote in any election because of an error or omission on any record or paper relating to any application, registration, or other act requisite to voting, if such error or omission is not material in determining whether such individual is qualified under State law to vote in such election."

Specific questions regarding this provision should be addressed to:
