We have serious threats to election integrity that must be fixed before the next election.

20. What do you want? At this point a scanner reads your little black dots and adds them up...

Do you want verification that it read them correctly? Our machines give a warning if your vote can't be read properly and an opportunity to change things or start over.

What more than that do you need? Even if you got a receipt for your vote, the machine could easily be programmed to falsify it.

In the event of recounts or other challenges, the scanned ballots are locked away and can be compared with the totals on the chips. We also keep tight control of the all ballots in printed, even the unused and spoiled ones, to reduce the possibility of playing with ballots.

Tests, recounts, and such stuff are always done involving beady-eyed lawyers from at least two parties making sure nothing funny is going on.

There are, amazingly enough, a lot of people out there who are both honest and have a lot of experience with elections who have worked very hard to make things go smoothly and correctly. there will always be a few problems here and there, and I can't speak for other jurisdictions, but I have very little fear of fraud or manipulation in our system. The recounts we have had have shown that.
