It's worse than not working. It's because nobody can ever be sure if it's working or not.

Granted what is publicly known, it not working is a very likely outcome, but nobody will ever be able to contest it.

How can any one person be sure that a completely paper based voting system is working fraud-free in a country with hundreds of millions of people?

See blockchain. If everyone has a copy of the vote registry, then they can contest it if things don't match up.
