as has been pointed out repeatedly - either you have some way to "bin"
the receipt and start over, or it is worthless (and merely confirms you
made a bad vote without giving you any opportunity to correct it)
That given, you could vote once for each party, take your photograph,
void the vote (and receipt) for each one, and then vote the way you
originally intended to :)
