These ballots are considered |machine ballots since they are counted by machines. However all this will |probably be left up to the courts to decide. No, these ballots are punch cards not those big lever machines. The ballot information is inserted into the pages of the machines. The punch holes are supposed to be to the right of the ballot entries. In the case of a butterfly ballot, the punch holes are located to the left of some of the entries (specifically, those entries appearing on the right-hand page). The source of my information, aside from the written law which was already posted here is many years of voting in Florida considering I'm a resident of that state.
