Nothing will beat the paper with physical verification/monitoring of people from different parties with the details of the end results properly published for everybody to double check.
The only way to trust voting machines (which could be rigged before delivery), would be to physically watch which buttons the voters did press, and manually account it... which would violate the core rule of anonymity, that to avoid retaliation.

Once the voter confirmed it's pick the number is printed on the cashier roll and "rolled" into view for the voter (a small slit window of some transparent material will do). The voter can then see the number was printed. After the voter presses the "done" button, or leaves the booth, the vote is rolled beyond the window so the next voter cannot see what the previous voter voted. The rolls used can be marked uniquely. The voting machine will print an opening and closing pattern so no votes can be added before or after.
