> Some jurisdictions may use the VVPAT for recounts or audits, but I wouldn't know. I don't understand your statement. You say you don't know if it's used for auditing... then you claim decisively it's not used for auditing? > There's no standardized format. There's no gear for scanning it. That's exactly the point - you are only looking at these by hand in the case of a recount? Again, if I am trying to perpetrate voter fraud, enough to change an election, how do I do it with a VVPAT? Do I change their answer and hope that no one notices their vote got changed on their receipt? Or send a different answer to tabulation that would be caught in the event of a recount? Both of these possibilities seem no different than a BMD. How do I know the tabulator machines themselves are not compromised? It seems like a weird distinction to trust one but not the other. https://www.pewtrusts.org/~/media/legacy/uploadedfiles/wwwpewtrustsorg/reports/election_reform/ERIPBrief1005pdf.pdf https://www.pewtrusts.org/~/media/legacy/uploadedfiles/wwwpe...
