> Who's to guarantee that your paper ballot was recorded correctly? Each reporting station must accept observers and counters authorised by each of the interested parties with local representation. It's a big deal when this process is compromised and always makes the news. And these counters and observes are generally your neighbours from the local community so there is some amount of trust already. Further the section count is acknowledged back from the central counter. HTTPS doesn't have the proper guarantees for this application. Changing votes doesn't have the proper guarantees that people won't be buying or extorting votes. Not that it matters, because that's not really the biggest concern with evoting. Penalties also don't matter against a malicious state actor for any abuse. As an example, Chinese spies go after the relatives in China of US tech employees to force cooperation. A state actor can stack the deck without anybody to prosecute even if caught.
