And you don't want to be on the roads right after the polls close and they race each other to get the ballot boxes into the counter centres.

More importantly, yes you can rig a paper ballot, but you can't do it large scale without everybody knowing it.

Well, kinda.

In the UK state-level interference would likely go unnoticed if it mugged only postal votes and didn't push too obviously-far in one direction or another. I've been on the receiving end of mail interference and since then I can only assume it's become a lot cheaper to do than it was.
