Until you want to scale due to using rapid direct democracy. Paper ballots will still WORK perfectly, but the workload will be massive.

Which is something you can justify IMO for a direct, just, free, equal and confidential election.

The gold standard is paper ballots cast at a precinct, counted the moment the polls close.

In the USA, average precincts are 500 voters. Totally doable. In fact, that's how many jurisdictions did it.
