IMO there's nothing wrong with both.

  • Machine prints out paper ballot, properly inscribed with the selected vote so that there's no "ooh, but there's a smudge here that might mean a vote for X". It could also print out a 3D barcode that contains metadata such as time, place, machine, checksums, etc
  • Human who voted can verify the correct box is selected etc.
  • Vote slip goes into second machine where it's counted (or a box for later counts)
  • Paper vote slips are maintained for recount/validation purposes
  • source
  • parent
