A. All paper ballots, as soon as read, or rejected for illegality, shall be strung, those allowed on one string and those rejected on another, and shall not thereafter be examined by any person. Each ballot rejected shall be marked " rejected" and the cause of the rejection endorsed on the back thereof and signed by a majority of the election board or tally board.
