Fortunately, it's possible to combine paper ballots with another brilliant 19th century invention, the postal service, to make voting accessible to virtually everyone.

Just like the internet voting in Estonia since 2005, and its substantially cheaper for them in practice.
And no one would be the wiser if an Estonian election was rigged by the sysadmin.
Like no one would be wiser if the American electoral process was rigged by a couple extremely wealthy people.
A couple of wealthy people will find it very hard to tamper with thousands of paper ballots supervised by multiple volunteers of various political leanings, each.
Tampering with some computer systems? Not so hard.
