After an election is over, election fraud can be investigated by making sure that the total number of votes equals the total number of people on the list of people who voted, that all of the people on that list actually voted, that there are no duplicate names on the list, and that everyone on the list is qualified to vote.
But how do the investigators know whether or not some of the ballots were destroyed and fraudulent ballots substituted? This is even more of a problem with electronic voting, because there is no “paper trail.”
Why not use computerized, networked, touch-screen electronic voting, but after each person finishes voting, a unique, randomly generated “reference number” appears on the screen? There would be no way to link a particular reference number to a particular voter, so everyone’s vote would still be confidential.
The voter could simply ignore the number, he could memorize it, he could write it down, or, if he wants hard copy, he could photograph the screen. The number would stay on the screen until the voter touches “Done” or opens the curtain to leave the voting booth.
Then, at his leisure, he could go on the Internet, look up the reference number, and verify that all of his votes were recorded correctly. A complete list of all of the votes would be made available on the Internet for downloading.
Election investigators and the media could then interview people who had verified their vote in this way to make sure that there were no discrepancies.
