Should we get ballot receipts when we vote?

And then, happily surrender to our Party poll receipt collector?

Would be an interesting way to challenge local election results.....

1. I vote at home and drop it off at the drop box of on Election Day.

The top of the ballot is torn off for you to keep (I laminate mine for bookmarks). I also make copies of the ballot before I seal it in the envelope. Is this considered a receipt in tje eyes of the ballot counters? What other type of receipts are an option?

2. A receipt would seem to be more valuable in the aggregate, then as a personal

bookmark. We all know how we voted....but do we know how WE all voted?

3. A copy of a ballot can be faked

Ballot receipts would be a big problem. How do you prevent people from being coerced or bribed to vote a certain way? There is a reason why secret' ballots are a thing.
