I honestly do find it spooky how many arguments there have been about the electronic tallies in Mexico. I don't think it discredits paper (although I am not a straight-up hand count man), but it underscores just how large elections are, and how hard it is to know what has happened.

Paper at least gives you a shot at transparency, although it obviously won't work very well if one party can't even field observers at over 10% of the polling stations, which I guess is what happened in Mexico.
