The Florida Supreme Court in 1917 held, "Where a ballot is so marked as to
plainly indicate the voter's choice and intent in placing his marks thereon,
it should be counted as marked unless some positive provision of law would
be thereby violated."  Darby v. State, 72 So. 411, 412 (1917).

"No vote shall be declared invalid or void if there is a clear indication of
the intent of the voter as determined by the canvassing board."  Fla. Stat.
101.5614 (5).
