The only time I can see this as valid is if the voter tried to vote both straight party ticket AND individual candidates.
At least in my state, you can vote straight party (although I'm not sure that's even an option anymore) or individual candidates, but you can't do both or it makes the ballot void.
Another might be if there's only 1 candidate running for a position, but even then you can still leave that position unvoted, you don't have to vote.

Our location is paper ballots that you insert into a machine. No option for straight ballot, but they had that at my former location where you just press the button.

Voted tonight. Our location also has paper ballots that you insert into a machine and there is still an option for a straight party ballot.

It shouldn't be an option.
In fact, parties should not even appear on the ballot. Only names.
