About 95% of contest logs submitted are electronic?...How many of the
approximately 250,000 hams in the U S are contestors?...

Clearly there are some without computers or connection to the 
internet, and there is no suggestion that paper QSLs will disappear. 
However the growth of internet connectivity among amateurs in recent 
years has been nothing short of miraculous. I don't have the actual 
figures, but it seems that up to 95% of contest logs are submitted 
electronically these days. At a recent amateur radio forum the 
lecturer asked those who weren't on the internet to put their hands 
up - nobody did. And you yourself are clearly on the internet as you 
use this reflector.
 
Regardless of what you say, current usage of eQSL indicates how far 
this has become an accepted method.
