When I was taking security classes one of the things they kept mentioning is that it's possible to increase security so much your users grow frustrated and wind up installing backdoors for themselves. For example there's a long security review before installing new software, so someone brings in their own device with this software. They're not a hostile attacker, yet have opened your infrastructure up to new attack vectors.
The same is true for voting. The more secure you make it the less people will vote. The less people vote the less they trust the system. This then winds up undermining the very thing you were trying to protect.
Edit: I'm not arguing for zero security. I'm arguing that some thought goes into what security procedures you implement on voting, and how that enfranchises or disenfranchises people.
