That receipt is actually legally iffy.

In a small community you can keep track of who voted in what order, then look at the receipt and know who voted for who.



Seems about the same as having someone watch the order the paper ballots go into the box and then having someone go back through.

Of course, we have ways of securing access to ballot boxes to a reasonable degree, and those ways are also applicable to the paper receipts.


No, since they individual papers you shuffle them.

Probably a receipt without a timestamp, and with a paper cutter would work as well.
