All this is solved in most democracies. Don’t use punching machines. Use separate ballots per candidate. The voter selects the ballot for her candidate, folds

  So for locations that have say 50+ positions, with multiple party candidates up for election, you want to print off 100+ ballots and have the voters select and mail out 50 of them separately? Right now to reduce fraud, many mail in juristicions will have an envelope with a voter and specific ballot type (local districts include different water, power, school, fire, police, etc which may be different from someone on the other side of your street). And the ballot only has the ballot type/combination... the outside is scanned to match the inside, and the inside ballot is then separated/randomized to prevent tracking coordination. Do you understand how much crap would have to be coordinated between envelopes and ballots to support such a system? We aren't just voting for a single office, in some places it's over 50 offices, with hundreds of candidates.
