The voting machine companies are very cognizant of the need to maintain a secret ballot. The software randomizes the output so that the anonymity of each voter is preserved.

Do the election judges print anything out? If so, how do you protect the anonimity of the vote? If I come through as say number 1701, then on the printout, ballot number 1701 would obviously be mine.
