Suggestion: use a read only medium, as has been used in vote-by-pencil system for ages, like: PAPER! To make it easier to count, we can use machines to print votes on a piece of paper (something akin to a receipt-roll). These votes are printed when voter casts vote, and the machines shows the vote to the voter through a small hole in the machine (preventing the voter from seeing the preference of the previous voter). Vote-rolls are distributed like ballots, and they are "sealed" in the machine before are sent back to the central counting places. OCR is used to read the votes from the rolls. Machines can also keep track of votes digitally, for a quick count. The quick and slow count should match. This way we can have quicker and cheaper voting, while not compromising (much) on security wrt to voting-by-pencil.
