49. Paper with serial number and finger print...
is the only way to build a more secure ballot. It would also raise the stakes for those commiting fraud. No voter verified paper trail will really do. We need to raise the bar really high, so it makes it tough for them before durring and after to muck with the ballots.

A signature can even be bullshited.

I had an interesting thought what if you put your thumb print on the poll book and ballot that way the ballot and voter can be verified at a later date. Increasing the difficulty of mucking with either the ballot or the poll book. Since the serial numbers on the individual ballots would be registered to the precinct it would be highly difficult to replace it with a generated ballot. People would also be able to take home a reciept with a serial number on it. You know modern day imaging systems could allow us the ability to post images of the ballots that could only be accessed then by serial number displaying only the choices, which then the public could use to verify that their vote was not changed and it was recorded!
