> The US have massively more complicated ballots though, which I think is another issue entirely that you guys must solve.

Frankly this is never going to happen. The US democracy is extremely distributed and as a result each school district, water district, county, city, state and the federal government each have races and ballot items that citizens vote on.

Undoing this system is likely intractable without completely redesigning the US system of governance.

You have tons of items in Sweden as well and you vote on 3 levels of government and you can even write down in text name of any candidate you want and those text votes do get counted.

So no USA is not a special flower here, you can absolutely hand count those things.
