I will make my suggestion once again and maybe someone somewhere will take it and make a fortune with voting machines off of my offered to y’all free suggestion:
If a simple cash register can print a transaction receipt -— actually two, because one is retained in the machine -— then a high dollar voting machine can be made to do the same thing. Make every voting machine spit out a voting receipt of the actual votes it tallied for each person voting. Each person could take their receipt and check it, carry it home with them for their personal records, or take it to the election judge right then and there and demand the machine be fixed with actual PROOF of the incorrect vote right there in their hands.
The internal receipt spool could be used a a paper trail for any recount.
OK, you wannabe millionaires -— make those machines!!!

Also, if I have a vote receipt, would that not be identifiable to me? So I give up my privacy to vote in secret?
