yeah... or you could just implement secret ballot like all sane countries have

> blank ones if you want to write down the party of your choice

this can and does risk resulting in the vote not being counted (due to alleged illegibility, a tiny spelling error or whatever)

> You could bring your own ballot if you so choose

same thing, your own ballot could be considered illegitimate + even in the best case that you obtain a real lawful ballot, only a tiny fraction of people are willing and able to go through the trouble of doing so + again, by requesting a ballot, secrecy is out the window

> or vote pretty much anywhere else than were you live during a ~ three week long period

the suggestions just keep getting more and more ridiculous - no one should have to do any of this! everyone should be able to just rock up and vote with secrecy preserved, without having to prepare or use all these hacks
