Paper ballots can at least be counted by hand if there is a problem unlike what’s cast on these E-machines.
Paper ballots can also be magically misplaced if need be.
Marked paper ballots can also be magically produced on cue if need be.
Paper balots counted by hand can change each time they are handled, as Florida 2000 demonstrated.

Any schmuck can lock a box of paper ballots in his trunk "by accident", any schmuck can go into a bathroom stall and mark up a few hundred extra ballots, any schmuck can fold or bend paper ballots that's he's "counting."
