If government officials decide to use electronic voting machines, they should ensure that all
voters show proper voter registration before voting and then receive paper receipts after voting.
These receipts could then be collected for later verification. These paper slips would clearly state

that the voters really voted for the candidates that they selected. Furthermore, if any candidate

suspects that an election is unfair, these receipts could be counted by hand and checked against

the official results that the computers provided. At the very least, voting should be a simple,

secure, and consistent process, regardless of the voting procedure that is being used.
