    We should 100%, unironically go back solely to paper ballots. Even if they take months to tally up.

      These are Australian elections – it is 100% paper ballots.

      The starlink thing is just a backup link for communicating election-night preliminary count data counted by election staff at the booths. Then the ballots are transported to counting centres for the official count. Full legal results aren’t known for a couple of weeks.
