The cost and unwieldiness of paper ballots is a feature, not a bug.
A paper system has hundreds or thousands of individuals, some percentage of them mutually hostile, who must be subverted in order to subvert the election.
A digital system is one stolen key, one bad sysadmin, one disgruntled programmer, from total compromise. They might be proved "safe", but they cannot be observed in the way that the mechanics surrounding a paper ballot can be.
