Of course its not difficult to add restrictions. We can just disallow mixing front to back columns and multi-column candidate races, like other systems do. Perhaps we can even simplify the card reader and make it four fixed columns, eliminating the problem entirely.
I don't think people who can solve the bleed through issue by other means will like that however. This way we have the best of both worlds.
