I have an idea about paper trails

Ok, what if, when you voted, you got a receipt that had a random number on it that correlated to you vote, but also had your vote on it (that way you can tell who you voted for). Not you name or anything. And then, while you were on your way out, there was a someone that "sealed" it, like what notaries do. This way, when things don't go as planned, you can prove who you voted for.

This way we would still have a secret ballot, but not only would there be a paper trail at the voting site, you would have proof of who you voted for if you kept your receipt.
