DRE other than the fact that it's more devious because it makes you think you have a paper ballot backup. The problem is that your vote is 100% unverifiable.

Humans do not read barcodes and that is what a recount will read -- barcodes.

Have you ever shopped at a market and the price on the shelf says one thing, but then you see your receipt [which records what's in the barcode) and discover a discrepancy in price? This is the problem with these barcode paper "ballots."

And elections officials will run the paper thru a scanner to read the barcodes in the event of a recount and/or audit, and it will be the same garbage.
