You're not supposed to be able to verify votes after the fact because that would enable buying votes.

You can vote multiple times through online voting. This means that buying votes like this wouldn't be very effective. Online voting also ends a few days before election day at which point a person can go and vote in person. The vote in person counts over the online vote.

As if democracies aren't buying votes already en masse?! Lobbying is just that, on a scale that actually matters more (directly at policy decision making point).
