MT ES&S failures cast further doubt on 100% unverifiable WI recall results

3. As commenter noted:

Brad, would you clarify something for me? When kids take the SAT or ACT tests for college, they are always optically scanned using the same fill in the bubble format. So far as I know, they are considered reliable and presumably inexpensive. Why are the balloting machines so eminently screwy and expensive?

Only on ballots is there a continuing problem. Why not on other things that use the fill in the oval?
And why should voting machines, or even the tabulators cost $50,000 to $60,000 each!
The Electronic Touch Screen Voting Machines should run around a couple of hundred dollars each, at the very most. They are basically touch screen computers.
The optical scanners should cost less than two thousand. We are not talking SAT scores here, but it is the exact same technology, so what is the problem? Experimenting to find the most efficient way to swinging the election to the Right?
