No solution can really solve unoquivically mal intent and/or incompetency however the following 2 points I believe may help address both of these issues. 1) A way to verify your vote while preserving its confidentiality might be a tangible soultion to mal intent where every individual could A) Verify his/her vote was counted and B) Verify his/her vote was counted correctly. 2) The only thing I will say about incompetency is that it only seems to appear in hind sight. That being said it's pretty hard to screw up pencil and paper ballots. Until a majority of the American people give a steaming crap about their politics and the world around them, things will never change and they will always get what they deserve - corruption.
