14. We need to get a receipt

... A receipt that could prove how you voted immediately., before you left the polling station. Or, if you mailed in your vote, you would still get a # that indicated that you voted for OBAMA etc.

I'm not a computer genius but I was thinking something like ....

You go online to Amazon--- you buy your 5 pillows, you click the button and your purchase is confirmed.

Then somehow, when the votes come in you can see that ballot number #208 VOTED for OBAMA and all the others on your ballot.

Could it also tell you how many other people in that polling location also voted for OBAMA?

IT would only have a number, not a name for who voted for him.

Of course I'm just dreaming because the Rethugs would NEVER let it happen and the last time I checked they are in Total Control of this country and certainly in control of this Election Suppression.
