§ 168.746Ballot of challenged voter; endorsement concealed, identification prohibited

Sec. 746.
    To prevent the identification of said ballot, except as hereinafter provided for in case of a
 contested election, the inspectors of election shall cause to be securely attached to said ballot,
 with mucilage or other adhesive substance, a slip or piece of blank paper of the same color and
 appearance, as nearly as may be, as the paper of the ballot, in such manner as to cover and
 wholly conceal said endorsement but not to injure or deface the same; and if any inspector or
 other officer of an election shall afterward expose said endorsement or remove the said slip of
 paper covering the same, or attempt to identify the ballot of any voter, or suffer the same to be
 done by any other person, he shall, on conviction thereof, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.
