Comment :  This portion is considered "Optional".  It CANNOT be optional to have voter VERIFIED and Randonmly COUNTED paper ballots.  Unless we have this, everything else is useless.  A machine checking itself is like the fox guarding the chicken coup.  It is illogical and absurd, and suspect to forbid the counting of paper ballots - and this must done, unannouced (as in a lottery) with 5% of the vote to assure its veracity.
