Paper doesn't scale well, attacks on paper are extremely difficult to scale well, which is why paper is a good system for voting.

It scales "well enough", in that we currently do it, and pay for people to verify the results.

In Australia a lot of this work is done by volunteers from the major parties.

Edit: I agree, its difficult to scale an attack on paper :)
