I think the thumbprint one should be counted.

Edit: I also think if a person accidentally or purposely places an identifying mark on the ballot it should still be counted.  A person should never be forced to ID themselves but should not be barred from choosing to do so either.

 

I don't

While I agree with you in principle, the law says it does not count. What MN (my state) should do, is change the law, and then count every ballot after that law is changed the way you see it.

We are a country of laws, and the law says you don't count it.

P.S. The fingerprint one should count, as it's not an identifying mark. If you count that, you need to get rid of all ballots with fingerprints on them (and unless you filled it out with gloves on, that would mean all of them).
