How do you allow a user to confirm this in real time? Hash displayed on th screen?

  Yes, that's correct, being able to download the code, hash it, and then compare it to the hash displayed real-time would be a first step towards enabling this.

    the software can easily be modified to display the hash you are expecting

      To start, something is better than nothing. Long-term remote inbound two part authitacation combine with like measures for hardware via meta-programming would make bypassing this very, very hard for the average hacker.

  Users wouldn't confirm this in in real time just like users have no way of verifying in real time that their paper ballot was actually counted. A better outcome for this type of system would be a pre-election and post-election verification of each machine (which isn't unreasonable since the number of machines is far less than the number of ballots) in which interested agents from each party/group could be present during the verification process (and use their own machine if they desire) to ensure that all the digital signatures match and there's no foul play.

  perhaps use a Merkle hash to verify your vote was counted?
