That's not the real problem. The real problem is that you had no way to be sure, no
way to verify, that the machine was recording your vote and would accurately report it
later. It might just as easily report numbers that someone had told it to report, not
connected to any reality. How would you know? If anyone were to question this, how would
you prove that the count is honest?

Yep. Welcome to the land of the stupid.
Ok, I think we need some facts, here. Note that from the very first time
I used one of these machines to vote and noted that they typed in my
voter ID number using a little keyboard which had a cable going into the
voting "cabin" to prep the machine for my vote, my opinion of the whole
thing has be very negative. After all, I had only their word that they
were not saving my ID along with my vote - there was no hardware
limitation against it doing this.
