Not so. In my jurisdiction a paper ballot is used. After it is marked it is put into a sleeve to protect privacy, then handed to a poll worker who puts it into a locked and numbered ballot box in your presence. An electronic machine could also print a (coded) receipt showing your vote, and could be handled in a similar way as to our non-electronic system. In the even of discrepancies in the electronic vote, the paper votes could be examined. Duh!
