Good lord, no. The potential for fraud in that "voter takes a printout home" is 100%. Imagine a whole bunch of people showing up with slips of paper "proving" the count was off? There will be no chain of custody and therefore the slips cannot be collected to do a recount but an operator sure could trash an election. Don't think the receipts can be counterfeited? Remember that most election fraud involves the workers in the election office. No, optical scan should be the only method allowed as the uniform auditable voting system for all.

Oh, I didn't mean that those would be used in tabulations, ever. I just would like a copy of what the machine recorded as my vote. Some other secure form of hard copy would be needed for recounts, for sure.
