Right on. Voting systems must have integrity but also voter anonymity. To quote Schneier:
> If we could do away with anonymity — if everyone could check that their vote was counted correctly — then it would be easy to secure the vote. But that would lead to other problems. Before the US had the secret ballot, voter coercion and vote-buying were widespread.

Suprisingly enough, the strongest fear is not so much "pressuring people to vote for X" but "having a black market of people getting paid to vote for Y".

... and I can lie and show you the vote of someone who voted the same as your orders, unless you following me to the polls (in which case, you might as well hide a pinhole camera in my button).

Yes. And I've not found a single "digital" voting method so far that fixes this entire chain of problems.
This violates the secrecy of the vote. I can threaten you to vote for someone then force you to prove you voted according to my orders.
