| I'd prefer a system that used coloured and/or shaped plastic tokens than one
that issued paper. The blue square token would be the democrat, the red
circular token the republican. Voter hits the virtual button, token pops out.
If the token doesn't match their requirements, then they can put the token back
in the machine and try again. If the token does match, put it in the counting
machine which would then sort and stack the tokens.
I think 1mm thick tokens
that are about 1cm or so in width would be pretty easy for a machine to
count.
If the counting machine stacks the tokens and releases a stack for
every 100 votes then it would be pretty easy to check them and have the votes
tallied and verified pretty quickly.
Easily verifiable by the voter that
they're voting for who they want. Easily countable. Re-usable.
The
difficulties I see are that of storage and if there are many different options.
If there's only 3 or 4 options then storage wouldn't be a problem. If there's
10 different options then that would be awkward for strage and you might have to
get inventive for shapes.

Should NOT have a record of the vote on it.
By all means let it have a barcode, that can then be tallied back to the ballot
paper. We have the same concept here in the UK (they keep a record of the serial
number of the ballot paper issued to you).
But a problem here (easily overcome, but needs thinking about), is how do you
cancel and re-issue a vote?
