Those bribable humans will be just as bribable when they're working in an electronic voting system. Just that instead of tampering with ballots, now all they have to do is change a number in a database table.
Same argument for online crime. Some election manager will demand the machines be put online, and someone perhaps half-way across the world will find a vunlerability.
Electronic voting is not a secure system without -- at the absolute minimum -- an auditable paper record. The computer expands the attack surface dramatically.
