To attack paper ballots you need people. Like thousands of people working with you to manipulate important elections directly at the source.
With electronic voting, you potentially need a single person with a computer on the other side of the globe exploiting a security flaw, that will inevitably be there. Whoever claims to write bug free software is a conman.
I also don't want to be able to verify my vote. If I can, that means that somebody else also can. Given how tech-illiterate the average human is, voting crypto keys will be littered all around the internet.

Given how tech-illiterate the average human is, voting crypto keys will be littered all around the internet. Right, I should have been more clear. You typically do want voters to be able to prove that they voted and that their vote was counted, but you do not want voters to be able to prove the contents of their vote (who they voted for).
