36. Paper ballots can be shredded or go missing though...

The paper receipt could be used as proof of your vote. They could put a watermark or something on it to authenticate it so it would have standing, and also issue a unique transaction number just like they do in with ATM transactions. The system would essentially echo the modern banking system; you could log in to see your vote was registered accurately, just as you can log into your bank and see your ATM transactions, payments made etc. This method would also allow people to vote from home in real time, thus empowering shut ins and people who cannot easily get to a polling place (active duty soldiers as well). If there is a National system with tracking capabilities that can be verified and monitored by either/both parties I think they'll be less inclined to play their little games.
