The voting machine could make some additional copies of the receipts
and distribute them to other voters. Then voters could not be sure
that they have the only copy of the receipt.

Nasty new attack on Rivest 3ballot scheme and similar schemes:
(I sent this to Rivest the other day...)
1. Republican voters all vote for Bush, which they do
(I discuss in 3-ballot for simplicity, but this attack will also work
against my "boffo" scheme which repairs 3-ballot against the
redundant-info
http://rangevoting.org/Rivest3B.html
attacks; and it also works against receipt-swapping schemes...)
by voting for, for, and against Bush.
2. They copy their "against Bush" ballot.
3. They turn in all their receipts to the friendly local Republican
party boss
at their born-again-Christian bible meeting,
who'd told them all ahead of time he'd like to have their receipts
for "safe keeping," and he'd like their "against Bush" receipts.
(Oh, and he'd like their "for Clinton" receipts too, by the way.)
4. Republican party corrupt bigwigs like DeLay
arrange with the govt election office
(the officials in which, they of course all appointed in the first
place
ala Ken Tomlinson solely because they were party hacks who'd helped
gerrymander Texas) to alter all those against-Bush votes to "for Bush"
and to alter all those "for Clinton" votes to "against" -
and then BURNS its receipt collection (or at least the part of it that
they used).
5. As a result, the vote shifts by several percent in Bush's favor
and he wins.
(Meanwhile the Dems could try the same stuff other way round...
if you do not like my anti-Republican story-sound, then plug in
your favorite other
party and other country...)

http://rangevoting.org <-- add your endorsement
(Maybe somebody can think of a way out... at present the best
I have is the same stuff I suggested in
http://rangevoting.org/Rivest3B.html
to diminish the "dumpster diver" attack...)
