Here in Canada we still use paper ballots and put them in a cardboard box. The polls close at 9:00 PM and we usually have the projected results by 10:30. I must admit however that the voting system is much simpler than in the US, we check one single circle.

We (the USA) could do that too. Simply separate our complicated ballot into federal, state, county, and local portions. Could be perforated and torn apart. Counting the presidential race per precinct (~400 ballots) is trivial. Manual counting using sort and stack. The other ballots (races and issues) can be done at leisure.
