Privacy issues. We could be assigned voter ID numbers when registering but I believe OP is asking for much more than that. If he cannot remember who he voted for, that's his problem.

It's not who I voted for, it's matching the picture of my ballot to how it was counted, while not tieing it to any person for security purposes. It's about proving votes are being counted 1 vote at a time, regardless of the party counting them

Same thing, non? "the picture of your ballot" shows exactly who you voted for.

They mean that they voted for candidate A and want to make sure it went through as candidate A and not candidate B.

The party counting them? It’s a machine. It doesn’t have a party affiliation.

The machines are tested before they are used on Election Day and that testing is open to the public. Go watch it for yourself.

Then, after Election Day, the results are audited using two separate auditing methods to ensure the machines were working correctly & that votes are being awarded to candidates correctly.

Literally could not be more transparent. You just have to put in a modicum of effort and talk to the people who work in your county election office. They don’t want to go to jail and most don’t even care who wins.
