I have NO PROBLEM with getting a "receipt" from the machine, but to imply as the New York times does that the real threat to the integrity of our elections is the machines and not fake voters is quites simply not true.
You probably already know this, but just to be clear to anyone else reading this, the proposal is not for a "receipt" in the commonly-understood sense. It's for a paper printout that would be retained by the polling station, and that would be the record consulted if there's a dispute. You don't want to hand anything to the voter because it could be used as proof to someone buying that person's vote.
