You receive a "this vote was counted" receipt at the end but it doesn't verify who though; the explanation I got for this (and the counting machine not displaying such a thing) was privacy concerns. I think I would've liked a "who was voted for" print out with no identification markings.

How would this work? I'm thinking that whatever the verification system is, it doesn't involve the individual voter having to take any action after having placed his or her ballot. So, there'd be paper receipt, printed immediately upon each voter having completed voting, that has a unique identifier and that voter's choices, which would be retained by each state's election board, and stored somewhere secure. Out of hand, all of those paper receipts would be tallied, and the results compared against what the electronic part of the system reports. Regarding the privacy component, there would have to be no way for the unique identifier to be directly tied to any individual voter, where that person could be identified, yeah?
