It is not to record who voted for what, but being able to go back and recount.
You can't do that. There is no way to verify that the totals add up and are correct. If you suspect your precinct had a wrong vote or count or tally, you cannot challenge it. The best you can do is to get all those votes thrown out (and disenfranchise all of those voters - which will probably become a new tactic in close races).
