Vote at some machine of some sort. Get shown your vote, then press a button to input it. You then get a printout of the votes you made (and can dispute any error immediately on-site if there's a discrepancy).
You can then take that printout home, and the day after the election, look up on the county registrar website that your vote was counted, and counted correctly. Single errors could be fixed, massive discrepancies could be investigated by the media.
Administrators should also be able to verify that all the votes that were counted were legitimate votes, and not input later to tip the scales.
But, it would still remain anonymous. No one would be able to trace back that vote to your identity, or, pull up a list of who voted for who.

My ideal system would be:
Vote at some machine of some sort. Get shown your vote, then press a button to input it. You then get a printout of the votes you made (and can dispute any error immediately on-site if there's a discrepancy).
You can then take that printout home, and the day after the election, look up on the county registrar website that your vote was counted, and counted correctly. Single errors could be fixed, massive discrepancies could be investigated by the media.

Is this just impossible?
