“Remade”??? Huh? What does that mean? That concerns me. Remember the controversy over “pregnant chad”. This could undermine my very high confidence factor in the accuracy and integrity of SMC Elections department.
When a ballot is not readable by the machines, it is rejected and examined.
The ballot may have been torn, badly crumpled, damaged by water, or, more likely, improperly marked by the voter. For example: - a voter used pencil or some other marking device the machine can’t read - a voter circled the candidate’s name and/or arrow instead of connecting the arrow - a voter liked a candidate so much they connected the arrow and wrote in the candidate’s name - and more!
If the intent of the voter can be discerned (remember Florida!), a replacement ballot is made and fed to the machine.
The process seems to be rather carefully considered, and involves more than one person and a fair bit of accountability.
