The process doesn't end unless the voter puts the paper in the 
receptacle. If they leave before doing so, the thing turns on the 
flashing red sirens, revs up the death rays, and the secret police throw 
them back in the voting booth.

It wouldn't be hard at all to have the machine verify the presence of 
the paper inside the machine before putting the "thank you, your voting 
is now complete" screen up.

So, in other words, I still don't see this system as any worse than 
currently existing systems, and in many ways a whole lot better.
