Sort of like how people view the Soviet Union.

I’ve never met anyone personally who speaks fondly of their time in the USSR. Tankies online who are too young to have lived through it are the only ones.

Paper ballots are also easier to falsify, with all the videos of box stuffing in corrupt countries.

That said, Canada uses paper ballots and hand counting, and I’m not aware of any accusations of election fraud related to that ever happening.
