python: selenium, submit a form multiple times

Question

I want to submit the form on this site https://nhqrnet.ahrq.gov/inhqrdr/data/submit for all possible combinations and download all excel files. My code runs successfully for one iteration but once it gets to the 2nd iteration it returns the error mentioned below.

My code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException
from selenium.common.exceptions import StaleElementReferenceException
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions
import time


browser = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:/Users/IN027/chromedriver.exe")
browser.get('https://nhqrnet.ahrq.gov/inhqrdr/data/submit')


dropdown = Select(browser.find_element_by_name("stateName"))

list=[]
for element in browser.find_element_by_id('stateName').find_elements_by_tag_name('option'):
    list.append(element.get_attribute('value'))
    list=[z for z in list if z!='']
    for i in list:
        dropdown.select_by_value(i)
        # time.sleep(3)
        dropdown1 = Select(browser.find_element_by_name("subjectAreaId"))
        list3=[]
        for element1 in browser.find_element_by_id('subjectAreas').find_elements_by_tag_name('option'):
            list3.append(element1.get_attribute('value'))
            list3= [m for m in list3 if m!='']
            for z in list3:
                dropdown1.select_by_value(z)

                time.sleep(2)
                dropdown2 = Select(browser.find_element_by_name("topicId"))
                a = []

                for element2 in browser.find_element_by_id('topics').find_elements_by_tag_name('option'):

                        dropdown2.select_by_value(d)
                        dropdown3= Select(browser.find_element_by_name("subMeasureId"))
                        list2=[]
                        print('check1')
                        for element3 in browser.find_element_by_id('measures').find_elements_by_tag_name('option'):
                            #time.sleep(2)
                            print(element3.text)
                            # print(element3.get_attribute('value'))

                            list2.append(element3.get_attribute('value'))
                            list2= [y for y in list2 if y!='']
                            print(len(list2))
                            for b in list2:
                                print('check2')
                                time.sleep(2)
                                dropdown3.select_by_value(b)
                                #browser.implicitly_wait(10)
                                #browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='filterByCategory']").click
                                time.sleep(0.5)
                                browser.find_elements_by_css_selector("input[type='radio'][value='byTotal']")[0].click()

                                #browser.implicitly_wait(10)
                                #browser.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='query']/form/input[2]").click
                                browser.find_elements_by_css_selector("input[type='submit'][value='Get Data']")[0].click()

                                time.sleep(4)
                                browser.find_element_by_id('table').find_elements_by_tag_name('a')[0].click()

                                time.sleep(2)

                                browser.find_element_by_id('formTab').find_elements_by_tag_name('a')[0].click()

The error message is given below :
