You have missed Sammy as explained above, also known as coercion. But other than that, your thinking is on the right tracks, just add some appropriate cryptography.

see http://www.eucybervote.org/xootic2000.pdf, http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/40542.html and http://votehere.net/.

Of course, even with this kind of system you could add paper receipts as well, but there is less need for them.
