The bottom half is an exact visual copy of the top, which is for your own record. It contains your e-voting number assigned by the system and the list of candidates you chose. ... Third, you have a visually verifiable record of the manaul count ballot for yourself that you can

A) take home
B) submit to 3rd party independent vote trackers

C) give to your boss/union leader/vote buyer/abusive spouse/etc to prove who you voted for so that you can be paid or keep your job, etc.

When you walk out that door, you shouldn't have anything with you that shows who you voted for. A private vote MUST be exactly that- private. It's only one step away from the government goon at the door asking to see your paper... "to verify that your vote was properly registered" and see whether you voted for his boss or the other guy.

It can only lead to intimidation, coercion, and vote selling. Sorry, but it's just not a good idea.
