If the paper can be read, political thugs will use bullying and intimidating tactics to get votes. Secret ballot is essential.

It's possible to make verifiable secret systems. Some have even been tested in real elections in the US as part o projects by NIST (for arcane reasons, NIST controls voting technology in the US :P). For example, Takoma park in maryland has used scantegrity a few times (2009, 2011).

The paper is behind a window, it is not a receipt and you don't take it with you. It is secret.
