I like the system we have in New Mexico. (Yes it's one of the 50 states)

You can go to any poling place, and they print you a local ballot for where you live, right there. You fill in the bubbles with your choices, then run it through a scanner machine on your way out.

You get instant counting and can track results live all day. If there's a technical problem, or any uncertainty in the results, you can always go back to the paper and hand count.

It gives the benefits of all the options.

How.is it providing secrecy and result checking at the same time?

There's no identifiable info on the ballot.
The ballots themselves are available to be recounted if necessary.
