What is nice about having all this information is the ability to search it quickly for interesting people. Search for VW van, traffic violations, 18-35 male, and democrat and then refine your search from there. I imagine that the NSA's search engines make Google look pretty primitive and there database is quickly becoming unlimited.
How about print a paper receipt and feed that receipt into another counter. The tallies from both systems should be separate and could be compared, any fraud would be obvious. Two separate systems that can be compared.
the receipts remain at the booth and are available for recount and verification if necessary.
Of course a completely online system would be preferable so people could vote more often on more issues and have more say.
