Read it for yourself:

Also, the relevant text from 101.151 is this:
"To vote for a candidate whose name is printed on the ballot, place a cross (X) mark
in the blank space at the right of the name of the candidate for whom you desire to
vote."
By this token, if you are going to invalidate the ballot since you had to vote to the
*left* of Buchanan's name, you should also eliminate all punch card ballots, since
voters are no longer required to make a "mark."
Then , the very first words of 101.19 are:
"The general election ballot shall be in substantially the following form:"
In other words, this little bit of legaleese should not hold water.
