Re: OT? A solution to the e-voting machine problem

Having a touch-screen or other e-vote terminal print out a *** with your
votes would go a long ways towards establishing confidence in electronic
voting. People could check the paper before pressing the "final send"
button,and go back and make corrections or alert election officials if
needed.The machine can then be tested on the spot and removed if defective.

So far, so good. At least mostly.

The voter can take the paper receipt with them.

No. You put it in a locked box so they can get it for a recount.

You don't get a copy of your old/current paper ballot do you?
The problem is that an official copy of how you voted would set
things up so you could sell your vote. With the current system,
the buyer has no way to tell if you did what they paid you to do.
