5. At this time, the scanners are still used for recounts.

As has been said, the ballots are observable as they are put through the machines.

But the DRE's with the ballot tapes have to be hand counted as there is no machine in which the tape can be fed and the vote counted. I'd like to see some link that shows any DRE's used in WI that don't produce a visible paper tape ballot that a voter can confirm visually before accepting their vote. Wisconsin law requires paper ballots on all voting equipment and AFAIK that is one law that Gov. Wanker hasn't gotten a hold of yet.
