The issue is that, if one cannot reasonably trust a voting process, the vote is null in effect. Humans cannot trust what they cannot understand and cannot verify. A paper-based voting procedure, and counting procedure provide these guarantees: understanding and verification, through real-time, peer-based counting & review. Any other automatic system cannot bring, at this point, the same guarantees, where you have to trust: 1) the people/system that built the system, 2) the process they used that ensures against any wrong-doing. It is low-tech. And that's a good thing. No high-tech alternative provides the same value & the same guarantees at the same time.
