27. No, no. Optical scan has the same problems as Touch Screens
the only difference being that there IS a paper ballot to start with. Optical scans are computerized, run on some of the same software the Touchscreen systems use for vote tabulation (GEMS if a Diebold machine), have modems, can be hacked, can be rigged, can have malicious code and/or errors in the code. Same issues.
