Can you prove that your vote was counted and that the number of votes for your candidate went up by one as a result? If you can’t prove it, then it’s based on trust.

That’s on the level of “everything could be made up to fool me” or matrix kind of stuff. You can simply be a poll worker yourself.

Hardly. Historically there has been a lot of cheating in elections. Look at Chicago up to the 1970s. Election fraud was common there.

Nobody can prove that there’s less cheating in Chicago elections today than in the 1970s, but people trust that it’s more honest.
