Very Interesting, thanks!

Still I'm not sure if I would trust that system more than a handcount with at least six eyes present at all times.

If you get an RSA receipt, it can be brute forced (in some years), if you don't you can't be sure it was counted.

If you get coerced into voting a certain way on paper and taking a photograph*, the coercing person needs to be in the toom to make sure you don't mark, take a photo, spoil and vote differently. With a receipt you can coerce the receipt, wait some time and buy some computing power to decrypt the vote later.

* secretly as it's illegal/vote spoiling for obvious reasons
