Yeah, that’s not how to spoil a vote. An unscrupulous counter can mark one of the boxes for their preference and it would very likely still be allowed. The benchmark is basically has the voter clearly indicated a preference. And whilst you are not supposed to write elsewhere it would still likely pass that benchmark. And in a tight race with recounts it will absolutely be argued for it to be counted.

Looking at some of the early tallies, it seems there could be more spoiled votes than actual votes for Humphries.

That’s a blank ballot, technically.
