4. And all those inconvenient paper ballots will be thrown to the wind.
The only way paper ballots can prevail is if ALL votes are on paper ballots and then counted in public in front of monitors representing all concerned.

The argument against this method is that in many places, there are so many people and initiatives on the ballot it would be almost impossible to be counted by actual human beings. Answer: have separate ballots for each contest. duh. So you go into the voting booth with separate pages instead of one with multiple choices. What's so hard about that?
