I'm sure, there are lots of people on this planet who would walk some miles and counts sheets of paper if that's all they needed to to to have democracy.

How do you achieve secrecy in this voting system?
How does the voter know if their vote was counted?
How do you make sure noone adds votes by entering a magic number, using a modified software, modiefied hardware, etc.?
How do you know there are no bugs that miscount the votes?
And how do you make sure people trust in the solutions you found to the problems above?
