1. It's great
conceptually. If it could be done with acceptable levels of accuracy and security it would remove a barrier from direct participation democracy in the modern world.

Unfortunately, it ain't there yet.

2. Paper Trail
Like a credit card receipt. One for the clerk's office, one for the voter.

What about that?

5. absolutely need a receipt and an official electronic register
that would allow you to log on, enter your receipt ID# and redisplay your ballot in a browser. If there is a difference (or "not found") then you report it and submit your receipt for verification.

Advantage is that the results are up immediately because it's electronic.
