Any fax machine should be able to do a clean enough scan. And they 
come with document feeders. A single fax should be able to keep up 
with the votes as they are cast, even in a busy precinct. (Those 
would be backup scans, they would not be coded, so they could be used 
to detect fraud in subsequent processing.) (And they would be faxed 
in batches large enough and shuffled to avoid voter identification 
through sequence.)
