That's the key right there. When you go to the store to make a purchase, what do you get? A paper receipt that tells you what you purchased, how much money you spent, and the amount of sales tax you paid. In other words, a record of your purchase.

Tally stick ballots
(Carbon paper, serial numbers, like cash)
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tally_stick
serial numbers ≠ anonymous voting
see, i think "anonymous voting" is bullshit.
our "representatives" have to vote in public,
so why shouldn't the voters votes be made public?
anonymous voting is impossible to verify.
to put another way,
can you prove that any vote you ever cast, counted the way you wanted it to count?
I just presented a method for the voter to verify their vote in an anonymous system.
Ever see door-prize or raffle tickets that are torn in half?
The tear match is the verification.
