Ballots that can be traced to a voter, or where the voter can be watched filling in the ballot paper, can be bought.
True, but nothing says that I can't videotape myself on my camera phone selecting candidates (either on machine or paper) and then submitting that ballot. (I have uploaded my own absentee ballots online to show people how I voted.)
My point is, there are plenty of ways of showing people how you voted, not having identifying marks on the ballot does not prevent that from occurring.
