Nevada uses a system similar to ours, but their unit spits out a tape that you can look at and verify what you vote was, but then you fold it up and place it in a locked "ballot" box. If there is a verification needed, they can pull the vote counts from the units, and then compare them against the paper receipts you have put in the ballot box.

How about just a damn receipt?  I get a receipt when I buy french fries, 
why shouldn't I get one after I vote for a candidate.

Recepts these days can contain lot #'s, etc.  Psychologically speaking, 
it would make me feel better about it.
