I keep seeing comments about how Canada avoided a similar fate because of its strict use of paper ballots; the US must have changed its system to include these electronic and possibly not airgapped machines.

Here is a real world example:
Once upon a time a cast Vote By Mail ballot was cast and it was smeared with ‘spaghetti sauce’. The old manual system took 24 people (yes 24) over 4 hours to make that ballot castable. With the new computerized system it would have taken 4 people 10 minutes to do the same job.
That’s just a single example out of hundreds.
People are just as stupid when they fill out paperwork regardless of what it is as they are in real life on the road and in the shops.
With elections taking place throughout the year it becomes increasingly unmanageable at scale.
