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.

I personally wouldn't mind losing some of the voter annonminity in place of making sure my vote was counted properly, but I know people who get in trouble at their job if they AND THEIR FAMILY don't show up to vote. I'd hate for there to be a way for someone to make sure these people were also voting for the 'right' party so there goes that idea.
I like the ID number, but if its truely annoymous it could have issues too. What do you do if the vote is 'wrong'?
