Paper voting leaves a literal paper trail unlike electronic voting that's always a total black box in all countries that have tried it.
Blockchain based voting leaves a permanent and indelible record on the blockchain for all to see.
Look, mate, paper voting simply doesn't work. And Russia is not the only example.
Canada here, paper voting works just fine.
What doesn't work is when the voting systems are gamed for the benefit of the few, and that can happen with any and all systems.
If you think results contradict content of the boxes, then online voting just allows to do it on greater scale much easier.
No, online voting prevents malicious actors from scamming the voting process.
