If you are doing paper voting why bother with voting machines at all? What's the benefit?

Immediate results without miscounts and at far lower cost. Given some confidence into the system, you'd only audit the paper ballots stochastically for a randomly chosen, say, 5% of election districts each time.

[Whether that's worth it, I'll not make a statement on.]
