That being said we don't vote for state and congresspeople or judges as we have separate elections for provinces or cities and a parliamentary system where your vote for your member of parliament results in the winning prime minister if you vote with the majority for a winning party. But they could do paper ballots for the President and congress people. And do computer for all the rest.
