I'm not sure if this has been mentioned by someone else in a previous discussion but... Why not have electronic voting machines with an option to print out a receipt containing a unique number linked to your vote. This would allow the votes to be counted efficiently while giving the voters the ability to verify that their voted was counted properly. If you happen to be paranoid about privacy simply don't take the number or destroy it.
It's simple, it's verifiable, and I don't see how it encroaches on anyones privacy but I'm sure someone on/. will prove me wrong.
