>the discussion will go over whether a specific field is just smeared or marked, whether a mark just outside the designated field still counts as a mark, This is a solved problem. In my precinct in Virginia, any mark inside the bubble counts as valid. If you accidentally put a stray mark in one selection and intentionally fill in another for a single-choice contest, the scanner machine will reject your ballot and notify the poll worker about your overvote. If you marked outside the bubble, the machine will reject your ballot as an undervote.
