Couldn't the Scantron display one thing and record another? If the paper ballots aren't manually recounted, would anyone ever know?
The big thing is you can do audit with original documents created by the voter themselves. Which is the problem with all the 100% electronic systems. You can't because the voter doesn't create a master copy of his vote.
You now also have the option of mailing in a ballot. That's easier to corrupt I'm sure. But at least it's still paper.
All the fully computerized systems seem really really sketchy to me. Especially in low trust cultures where underhanded stuff is normalized.
