Physical data is inherently more secure than digital - it's easier to trace, difficult to forge or alter without detection, and requires a conscious effort to destroy.
And when it goes missing, it will finally turn up in a warehouse somewhere, rather than go straight to the great bit bucket in the sky.
That's why we still use physical ballot slips for voting.
