The opinion

HODGES, Justice,

dissenting.

I would allow the count of the upper ballot but would disallow the lower ballot, resulting in a tie vote to be governed by 26 O.S.Supp.1977 § 8-105.

The markings on the lower ballot, in my opinion, completely distort the intention of the voter.

I am authorized to state that Justice SIMMS concurs in the views herein expressed.
