They print a paper confirmation that stays in the machine. (The voter doesn't actually get a copy.) You can see the printed confirmation however, to triple check to make sure everything is as it should be.

is giving away donuts to people with "I voted" sticker. I can't take advantage, can't handle all that sugar.

don't print paper confirmations
