[EM] Dave Ketchum: Handcounts

[Paul Kislanko]

That wasn't Dave who said that, it was me.

 

My point was that what is it you're going to count by hand? The tape printed
out by the machine I voted on? 

 

If I didn't hand-fill-out a ballot you've no way to know whether the ballots
you're counting by hand match what I told the machine was my vote.

Dave:

 

You said:

 

And that gets to why I think  "hand counting" is no longer useful as
"verification" - what is there to "hand count" when there are no paper
ballots except those printed by the machines that we're auditing? 

 

[endquote]

 

Handcounting was used even before there were voting machines!

 

I kid you not.
