Yeah, mail-in paper ballots work too. I was speaking more in the "we must have in-person" mind-set - I assuming convincing the election skeptics to use good machines is an easier task than convincing them on mail.

The difference between in-person vote and mail vote is chain of custody. Basically, when voting by mail you can never prove that your vote has not been tampered with in transit. With in-person vote there usually are procedures in place to ensure that no one messes with the ballot box.
