Or more probably, as seen in the american case - the user didn't understand the interface and voted wrongly. of course, you could avoid this by stating that the voting software displays the vote and gives a yes/no choice before printing the slip, but there is no reason to actually display the slip if there is no hope of voiding it short of storming out of the booth and demanding someone "fix" it.
