Frankly, the whole online-verification step seems like an unneccesary complication.

It seems to me that the requirement for after-the-vote verification ("to prove your vote was counted") clashes rather directly with the requirement to protect voters from coercion ("I can't prove I voted in a particular way.") or other incentives-based attacks. You can have one, or the other, but not both, right? It would seem that the former must give way to the latter, at least in political voting. I.e., no verification after the vote. iang
