Do Both

I am also an IT pro, and I quite agree with the above comment.

How about a system where you vote on a screen on a booth and it chucks out a pre-printed voting slip with your vote and your voter number (possibly obscured via another sealed lookup table). You then post it in the ballot box.

In the event of a query, the papers in the box can be counted.

You get the simplicity of the e-voting system, but you still have the ability to do a manual recount.

It seems to me this is a burden being placed on the wrong shoulders. There is not an It system in the world that can stop an individual taking information in their heads and spewing out at the nearest undesirable third party.
