The primary purpose should instead be to verify that the vote counts are an accurate reflection of how voters voted.  All these measures could be effectively done and still result in inaccurate counts by either: (a.) initially recording the records inaccurately, or, (b.) recording all the records accurately, but counting them incorrectly.
