You can only create a dimple if the card are stacked and poked using an ice pick or something.

If I remember correctly, a device that did exactly that was found in the trunk of a dim campaign worker. It was designed to align a stack of punch cards, then a tool was rammed through the stack at a precise location. If a card represented a vote for man-bear-pig, there was no change, but if a vote was cast for someone else, it created a card with a double vote and was tossed out as invalid.

Yep - those hanging chad ballots were easy to spoil/cheat. I also have thought that the Butterfly ballot was really just an excuse to cover up for cheating of the same sort.
