Pretty sure that's how we do it up on Canada. I think random samples are hand-counted to make sure the machine count is accurate. There's early voting too so not all just in one day.

I've never used a machine in 40 years of voting in Canada. And if they show up, I won't use them.

We fill out a paper, but a machine might scan them based on what OP is saying.

Then they will spot check it and have the paper backup if needed.

That's how we do it in my part of the US. And the whole thing is live streamed and audited. My mail ballot is also scanned twice, and I can check if it was received (and signature checks out) and counted. If there's an issue, I can correct my ballot before election day.
