101.5609 Ballot requirements.--
"(2) The ballot information shall, as far as practicable, be in the order of arrangement provided for paper ballots. Ballots for all questions or propositions to be voted on shall be provided in the same manner and shall be arranged on or in the voting device, if necessary, in the places provided for such purposes. "
"(6) Voting squares may be placed in front of or in back of the names of candidates and statements of questions and shall be of such size as is compatible with the type of system used. Ballots and ballot information shall be printed in a size and style of type as plain and clear as the ballot spaces reasonably permit. Tear-off stubs shall be of a size suitable for the ballots used and for the requirements of the voting device. The ballots may contain special printed marks and holes as required for proper positioning and reading of the ballots by the automatic tabulating equipment. When ballots are bound into pads, they may be bound at the top or bottom or at either side. In the case of the paper ballots, all offices and questions may be printed on the same sheet of paper. "
READ IT AGAIN FOLKS!!! The Palm Beach County ballot is legal.
All other talk is BS. The requirement for a box to the right of the name is for a written ballot. You can search the Florida statutes yourself for confirmation. Above is posted the relevant statutes for electronic or electromechanical voting.
From everything I've heard all Florida statutes have been followed.
