1) It is called a printer. The voter prints his own ballot out. 2) Voter validates ballot visually on printer. If voter is unhappy with print out matching his ballot, he makes notes. 3) Voter mails print ballot in, regardless. Voting by mail is cheaper than voting in randomly selected first world location: http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/cheaper-popular-mail-ballots-worry-critics-7479 http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/cheaper-popular-mail-... So worst case scenario is you are paying for the internet system + the paper mail system. That is still probably cheaper than just a paper system. This system already exists and works without the issues you raise. So what if it is compromised? If the printout doesn't match, a voter can manually correct it. I'm uncertain why you would argue simultaneously: 1) Existing paper systems are good enough. 2) Existing paper systems used to verify internet ballots in the event of a dispute would not be good enough.
