I think the opposite. When filling a ballot, the voter can use a machine with a touchscreen. The person with poor sight can use huge fonts, the blind can use a screen reader, etc. The output from this is a printed paper form, filled out with perfectly legibility. No hanging chads, ambiguous marks, etc.
At this point, the voter (or an assistant) can verify the form just as if a human had filled it out for them.
From there, these perfectly-filled forms can be counted the old-fashioned way with many witnesses.
