Rather interesting. First, each ballot is numbered (they are already so they can account for spoiled ballots). Second, you use a special pen to mark your candidate. When you mark your candidate, a hidden code is revealed, and you can go online and enter your ballot number and verify that your vote was properly counted for the selections that you made.

It's also inexpensive, using high-end commercial scanners, coming in at half the cost of dedicated systems.

Considering how many people there are that want the ability to buy the vote counters if they feel they're not going to win the normal way, there are going to be lots of people who think closed-source secret code machines are definitely in order.
