I'd guess that a lot of that "safety" depends on the audibility of what happens on financial trading platforms. If someone manipulates them, this can be discovered (and the manipulator punished) precisely because there's a trail recording exactly who did what. If a voting platform has such a trail, what becomes of ballot secrecy? And if it doesn't, how will the process be reliably audited? I'm sure a simple, transparent, and bullet-proof blockchain solution is just around the corner. /s
