You must have her confused with Avi Rubin, who perhaps does not think voters know how to use a pen and paper!
If you're going to scan the ballots, why not let the voters mark them by hand?
The whole point of the VVPB is for the ballot to be voter-verified. Using a machine to mark them does not guarantee this, except perhaps for those who are incapable of marking the ballot by hand and must rely on machines and scanners to mark and read back the marks respectively. (So much for voting "independently" per HAVA but it may be the best we can do. Tactile ballots and Vote-Pads might actually be better for many disabled voters.)
