Will our vote count?

I wonder if my vote will actually count. When I go to pull that lever, will my vote count. i still remember what happen in Florida in the 2000 election. I don't trust the system! Is there any way I can check to confirm that my vote counted? How do we really know that our vote actually counted for the candidate we chosed. I would feel better if there was a system where we can track our votes. Example : I cast my vote in Atlanta, Zone 2 They give me a receipt with my personal voter registration number and the number of my actual vote. Lets say I was the 26001 vote for my candidate. I should be able to go the internet and look at Georgia , Atlanta , zone 2 and find the vote 26001 and confirm my vote.
With a black man running for president, they may try anything to stop his victory.
how many votes will be lost? How many not counted. Can you say recount?

I see that the stage is set to discredit many votes due to voters fraud. But thats another story at another time.
Just my thoughts.
