So the way it works elsewhere is much more simple and private. After you vote the results so far are printed on a receipt.
You then drop your reciept in a drop box outside the polling place, which is run by an independent organization, usually run by or partnered with independent press. They can look at the receipt results over time to validate the vote is being conducted fairly and votes aren’t being lost. Many also post the results so far so you can compare to make sure your vote counted for the person you voted for.
