All they need is a touch screen voting machine that still allows you to pick candiates and in the end generate a unique barcode that not only registers the votes and has a unique code identifying the voter (without any personal info) so each voter gets one vote and print all this out on a sheet of paper to be read by an offical center in each state. This way there is not only a paper trail for recounts but also prevents hackers from getting into the system since there is no "storage" of any voting information on each machine.Obviously each voter has a chance to verify all the information. And as long as the "paper ballot" is not submitted, corrections can be done. Even if a voter submits two ballots, the final reading would disregard both ballots because there would be 2 ballot for one unique ID.
