It is never easy to resolve conflicting requirements (e.g. 'Only eligible voters shall vote', 'voters shall not be connected in any way to their vote' - the implied requirement here being the existance of an 'air gap' between electronic roll and voting system).
Voter-verified audit trail requirements contain such conflicts, especially where legislation requires that voters are prohibited from retaining prrof of their vote (vote-buying risk).
Brazil solved this by never allowing the voter to control the receipt.
Special legislation needs to be debated and produced to deal with the following nightmare scenario:
Manual recount (possibly error-prone) does not agree with electronic count(possibly subversion-prone) over some relevant dimension.
