is on my ballot when I drop it in the box. Imagine voting on paper ballots with a felt-tip pen - I check the boxes next to candidates I want and then drop it in the box. Everybody drops their ballot in the same box and nobody knows whose ballot is whose. It is secret ballot. The only diff between electronic system and pen on ballot - is that the electronic system would count my vote and save it to memory and print out a ballot I could double-check. If the print out is right, I drop it in the box and boogie on out of there.
Why couldn't we do 10% of the precincts in each county - randomly selected? San Francisco counts *100%* of their ballots by hand. Random selection of precincts in each county is easy - slips of paper in a box easy.
