I see nothing wrong with getting a personal receipt of one's vote with a copy stored for future recounts. The personal receipts can be done on speciallly embossed paper with inks. If a citizen suspects his vote wasn't being recorded properly, he can take his receipt down to the election office and compare it with the receipt number on file. I find it interesting that it is Democrats mostly who seem to be complaining about the electronic voting systems ....perhaps they've been having trouble figuring out how to gimmy the system!
There's nothing "wrong" with the idea. But if the system is gamed, why couldn't it be gamed to give you an accurate "personal receipt" while storing an inaccurate result in both the voting and the recount record? If someone is able to game the system at all, they can game it at any step in the process. Having a personal receipt is no guarantee that the vote was actually recorded properly.
As I said, no other voting method provides a "receipt", so why is it important here except to provide some warm and fuzzies? It serves no practical purpose, and technically it guarantees nothing.
The problem with voting fraud is a people problem, not a technical problem. Even the simplist systems (e.g., Miami-Dade) will fail if voters and election officials fail.
The only potentiall solution is harsh jailtime for those interfering with a federal election.
