Why?
Anyways instead of paper ballots, use silver tokens with as many boxes as there are candidates.
Then just weigh the boxes and don’t bother counting.
(A 1oz silver token would cost $30 to fake)

How would you verify that the weighing machine isn't tampered with?
Paper voting is simple, anyone can check a box. it's easy to secure, you can have hundreds of people who all don't trust one another watching a ballot box all day. And it's easy to verify, those same hundreds of people can all count along when tallying.
Rich, poor, white, black, literate, illiterate, young, old. Everyone can participate and can validate with a basic paper system, and you'll never conveniently have broken machines or run out of tokens in some areas that predominantly vote one way or the other.

And it may also lack anonymity--unlike the folded paper vote, you could be observed putting the token into a particular slot.
