How does this solve the problem? Previously, if I wanted to verify someone else's vote, I would need their SSN and Voter ID. Now I also need the county's receipt.

If someone would so readily hand over their SSN and Voter ID, what will stop them from handing over the county receipt?

It is held by the county, think of it like the bank holding the second key to your safe deposit box.
