There are no empty paper ballots, and if a ballot is brought back, then it's not in the discard box. Since votes in the discard box are still tallied, if someone leaves the polling station with a ballot, it will be obvious that someone has tampered with the election.

You could just avoid counting any vote in the "count" box that doesn't have a matching vote in the "discard" box.
