1. Vote on machine
2. Machine prints out vote receipt
3. It is assumed the responsible voter double checks his/her receipt to see that it is correct.
4. Put receipt in receipt box for double-checking purposes.

I don't so much need to take my proof home or anything. In fact, I probably don't want to do that. But I do want to have someone be able to double-check the votes by hand, and not just trust the machine to tally them.

(Also, I guess my place was using a machine to tally the votes, in that scan-tron sort of way, but there was still a paper trail.)

ya, that is exactly the idea

You look at your printed-out result and then stick it in the box for safekeeping. That way you know who you voted for but noobdy else does (and your boss can't, as mentioned above, fire you if you can'
t provide proof you voted for his or her fave candidate)

Or someone cruises through the poor neighborhoods offering $100 for proof of voting. He then destroys them and calls for a recount.
