Now. Seriously, what is wrong with paper ballots?
Advertisements [?]
- Too many to count? If there's a limit, what is it and why is it a limit?.
- Takes too long? And so? Where's the hurry? This a democratic celebration! We should be dancing around the polling stations.
- Inaccurate? Don't think so. There's double or triple checks in most democracies. Plus it's public and counted aloud.
- Propositions put to the vote make it impossible? Just takes a little longer. And again, where's the hurry?

I'm asking: what is the problem with paper ballots? I know that you tendencious crowd will say: well, the problem is it's too accurate! But do you see any reasonable explanation aside from this one?
