Why not print out N copies of the receipt, where N = number of parties (usually 2 in the US, Republicans and Democrats). Then, each receipt is placed in a box dedicated to each party. Then, representatives from each party get a box, and count receipts. All count should match (or be within a certain margin), right?

That might work in the US, but elsewhere it's not uncommon for 10+ parties to contest an election.
