It's been a long time, but somewhere I voted, maybe California or Michigan, but somewhere I voted gave me a real receipt. It had a bar-code that was tied not to my identity, but to my ballot itself. The "receipt" was a perforated piece of paper with a barcode. The votes were cast by connecting lines, and the right half of that line crossed the perforation lines, and was mine to keep. This seemed like a reasonable system, and I could then verify that my vote was counted. As for voter intimidation, if we really believe that our democracy is worth killing and dying for in foreign wars, then it would logically follow that we must accept the risk of demanding accountability domestically.
