I don't necessarily disagree, though the standards aren't going to simply be a basic photo, it's going to be proper scanning. And while there are mass scanning options with office-grade printers, it does still take some effort. Personally, I just think the recording is a simpler, easier solution that doesn't impede anyone else nor make addition effort for another. It removes any reason for them to not do the task, while the other idea does at least give them something to bitch about.
You're also not wrong with what's at stake financially so cost shouldn't be as big a concern as it typically is. Sadly though, it will be used to resist legitimate measures to ensure proper vote security.
