I'm inclined to agree. It will take longer to count them, but you can't easily hack paper ballots.

Pretty much every modern election system tabulates the ballots electronically, but keeps around the paper ballots for random recounts or investigations. The only reason not to have the paper involved is if you're cheap / incompetent / don't care about election security, or if you specifically want to steal the election.

The Republican Party is all of those.
