I agree that handling the ballot would encourage verification.

But then, so would a separate "Ballot Verifier". No?

Here's my trip. I was interested in the hands-off design because of voters with mobility-issues. That, apparently, is one of the sticking points. AutoMark is sometimes toughted as the answer, but to that specific problem, I think the answer is no.

So, for the mobility-limited voter, I've wondered about a machine that automatically spits out the ballot, runs it thru a Verifier, then into the box.

This is roughly based on what I read reffered to as a "Modular System". So adapted, I wondered if it offered everyone a way out of this jam.
