>>If that means that you have to be given a "receipt" with the names of those you voted for on it, well, so be it. It isn't like your name and/or any other personally identifiable information would be on it -- just the minimal details needed to achieve the singlemost important purpose: verification.

Now imagine cults and other groups that pressure their members into producing those receipts with the correct candidate on them... or else.

That doesn't solve my concern. If your boss at work tells you to go vote and then demands you show your receipt when you get back it wont matter that your name isn't on it. You would be pressure to vote how they told you to.

The proof would be a paper ballot that you turn in. Your actual vote.

These machines, generally print out a receipt. Show it to you and store it in a bin so that it can in theory be counted.

In RI --- we mark a paper, and surrender it to the scanner that stores it to a locked box before we exit the polling place.

A printed receipt, from an electronic polling place could just as easily be placed in a secure box prior to leaving.

It's amusing watching "ballot selfies" issue too -- it seems that folks just don't understand how important it is not allowing any coercive force influencing or verifying your vote.
