i think it should be required that these machines print out a reciept which can be checked by the voter for validity and then is placed into a box of some sort before leaving the polls. This would allow audits to be performed.
another idea I was thinking is that when you place your vote a secret unique ID number is printed for you to take with you. After the election you can then go online and check that your vote was recieved and counted correctly. All votes would be placed online such that anyone could talley and calculate stats. Every vote is attached to a unique (per precinct) ID number. Thus the vote remains annoymous but every voter can verify the correctness of the vote.
