The block / scan system of the same type used for tests seems good. It has a paper backup that can be counted.

I agree. The old "ScanTron" method was good enough for our education system for years. It gave us a fighting chance if a machine misread an answer that was changed or a smear.

I would be on board with electronic voting if the machine provided a paper receipt of the vote. It doesn't even have to be personalized, just a piece of paper that shows the vote as tallied by the machine.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! Think of the many ways that receipt could be abused. Your union rep tells you to provide the receipt or you will never work again. Homeless exchange their receipt for booze, cigs, or money. All, of course, depending upon the right candidates showing on the receipt.
