Comment :  - Whether the voting system collects votes electronically or via scanning votes initially marked
by the voter on paper, in the event of a recount, the count should be performed using the paper
ballots and human tabulators. Recounting the ballot images that were stored in the scanner
during voting, or even feeding the ballots through the same type of scanner a second time are
not acceptably independent checks of the accuracy of the recorded vote totals.
