    Just make it available online so everyone can log in and check how/whether his/her vote is counted (after the elections) together with other statistics (how many people voted in his/her district etc).

    I don't understand the problem with e-voting. Paper trail is no easier to check. Do you propose to check all the votesheets manually? I think it's infeasible, you will need a computer anyway, which will be probably even more prone to rigging than certified e-voting system.

    If they are dead, they CAN"T commit another crime.

    The reason you say/think punishment does not work, is due to the prison conditions, which foster more criminal, sadistic acts, not to mention allow organized (and others), to run enterprises from the jail cell. There is no such thing as rehabilitation in our current society. It's ALL ABOUT PUNISHMENT.
