When they were testing new ballots for our county my favorite of the machines was one that you entered electronically and then it printed your results twice. One receipt was for you, one was a backup copy sent to a locked box in case of recounts. It was perfect. They went with a touch screen that still has paper back up, but we don't get a copy, we drop the printout in the locked box ourselves.
