You realize that this doesn't provide any verification, right? All that you have verified is that there are ballots in the box. Not who they belong to, if yours was counted, etc. You have no idea if those are even the same ballots. Sure, there is trust, but we're trying to create a system with minimal trust, right?
Sure it does? From the point where you put your ballot in the box, you can keep the box in sight until it is opened, at which point you can verify that all ballots contained in it were counted.
