    non-secret ballots are a problem, too. even when every voter checks his
    or her vote, the sum of votes has not been verified. Votes may be added.

A non-secret ballot means that the organization publishes who voted how.
Given that information, the results can be completely verified.

However, as has already been stated, non-secret ballots are no good
for state elections, because voters could be intimidated, could sell
their votes, etc.
