You already have a log of who showed up to vote. Compare the number of shows S with the number of ballots V which must be <= S due to poorly marked/unreadable ballots. Simple.
Edit: and this all statistically correlates with exit polls. It's very, very hard to fake all three of these in order to rig an election.
