At first, I thought the advertisement for Tom Cruise in Valkyrie was a related crackpot scandal story.
Although I did just realize how this actually works. My ballot is a 2-part paper ballot. At the top is a ballot serial number that gets recorded next to my name in "the big book" where I put my signature. The trick to keeping my vote secret is that when I put my ballot into the machine, the operator separates the 2 parts of the ballot. One part contains my votes, the other part contains the ballot serial number. Once separated, theoretically you don't know which ballot has which number... but you also have a tally outside of the machine of how many ballots should be counted. In other words, they audit the machine by counting the ballot "stubs"
I noticed that they recorded my ballot number next to my name. Hmmm.... I don't care if they know who I voted for. In fact, I like the idea that I could find my "paper trail" if needed.
