No one will look at an individual ballot to count them.

My village uses Insight scanners. The clerk told me that they are tested twice before the election. And that's it. After the voting, only the total count of ballots on the machine is expected to match the number of ballots given out. The assumption is that the marks were counted correctly because of the two prior audits.
